How to Play
STARTING UP
Set up your Sega Saturn system as described in its instruction manual and plug in Control Pad(s). If you wish to play a three or four player game, plug in a 6 Player Adaptor now.
Place the disc label side up in the CD tray well and close the lid. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn logo appears on screen. If nothing happens, turn the system off and ensure it is set up correctly before turning it on again.
Important: Your Sega Saturn CD contains a security code. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If the system has trouble reading the disc, remove it and wipe carefully from the center straight out toward the edge.
Press any button to advance to the Main Menu. The menu features Choose Player, Start Game, Options, and View/Delete Records. Highlight your selection and press the START or A BUTTON to make your choice.
CHOOSE PLAYER
This choice lets you select which player you will control. Players can play as teammates or opponents depending on who they choose to control. Players 1 and 2 are always on one team, while players 3 and 4 are on the opposing team. You can control up to two players per team.
There are two basic play modes available:
•
1 TO 4 PLAYER PRACTICE: Up to 4 players can compete in a practice game if you don't input your initials. Results will not count toward Tournament play. One or two players can play as teammates against a random computer opponent, or 2 or more players can select their teams and play as opponents.
•
1 OR 2 PLAYER TOURNAMENTS: 1 or 2 players play as teammates against 29 opposing teams. If you beat them all, you enter the 30-second SHOOT-OUT bonus level to gain points by hitting shots from all over the court. Then it is on to the Semi-finals, a tough best-of-5 elimination contest leaving only two teams standing. If you survive that, you face another shoot-out period for 60 seconds, followed by a best-of-7 battle for the championship.
START GAME
This is where the action begins! Tons of 3D fun are at hand, no matter how many are playing. The game begins with a Password Screen.
OPTIONS
You can set up your game in a variety of ways to create the wildest court action you can imagine!
1. TIMER SPEED: Set the clock speed from 1 (extra slow) to 5 (extra fast).
2. DRONE DIFFICULTY: Adjust the competitive intelligence of computer-controlled opponents from 1 (extra easy) to 5 (extra smart).
3. COMPUTER ASSISTANCE: Set on or off. When on, the computer keeps games close by cooling off any team with a big lead. Turn off to give both teams a “fair shake”.
4. CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION: Set up controller buttons for various pass, shoot, and turbo options.
5. SHOT CLOCK: Adjust from 5 seconds to 24 seconds.
6. OVERTIME: Adjust from 1 minute to 3 minutes.
7. SOUNDS: Turn sound ON or OFF and set volume.
VIEW/DELETE RECORDS
Activating this option takes you to the record screen. NBA® JAM™ Extreme stores records and stats for up to 32 different players! If you plugged in a Sega Memory Cartridge at startup, your records will automatically be saved to the Cartridge. Otherwise, they are saved directly to the internal memory.
You may wish to erase a record to make room for a new one. Use the D-PAD to highlight the desired record and press the A BUTTON. You will then be asked to confirm whether you truly wish to delete it.
•
Press the START BUTTON to abort deletion.
•
Press the B + C BUTTONS to erase the record.
Highlight “Return to Main Menu” and press START to return to the main options menu, or highlight “Exit” and press START to go to the title screen.
PLAYER/TEAM SELECT
After entering initials, you will see the Team Select screen. Use the D-PAD to toggle through teams and press any button to select. Then choose which 2 players from the six available you want on your team, and which one you will control. This is also where you will substitute players as the game progresses.
Opposing teams are selected by the computer. If you have entered initials, the computer will select the next team in Tournament play. Check out player attributes carefully to make smart choices. You will want a good mix of skills as the game begins, and keep an eye on your bench talent too. This is where you set your game plan in motion!
PLAYER ATTRIBUTES
Each player is rated in several fundamental skill/attribute categories. These ratings increase or decrease according to performance during a game; success builds ability, while failure erodes it.
•
SPEED: How fast a player moves.
•
3 PT: How well he shoots from "downtown".
•
DUNK: How well a player slams the jams.
•
LAY-UP: How well a player executes a lay-up.
•
PASSING: How accurately a player passes.
•
STEAL: How good the player is at stripping the ball from an opponent.
•
BLOCK: How well a player blocks shots.
•
REBOUND: How well a player recovers missed shots and loose balls.
