Playing the Game: HUD Elements
•
Special Bar: The Special Bar indicates your current flair on the court. The bar fills up as you perform outrageous dunks and passes. When it's maxed out, it is time to show what The HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS® are all about! By filling up the bar, gravity defying dunks that have made the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS® a household name are unlocked.
•
Stamina Bar: This indicates how much stamina the selected player has. By holding down the L Button, the player is able to get a temporary boost for their character. Over time this diminishes and then regenerates. Over the course of a match, however, it will degrade depending on the selected players stats. Make sure to use the substitutions wisely to ensure the squad is always at 100% fitness.
•
Player Arrow: This indicates which of the two characters is currently under player control. Tap the L Button to swap players when in offense and defense. This is useful for getting a selected character into the action quickly!
•
Opponents Special Bar: This is how much special power the opponents have.
TIP OFF
Press the A Button to start the game. When the referee throws the ball in the air, press the A Button again to pass the ball back to your teammate and get the match underway.
PASSING
By tapping the B Button, the player is able to perform a pass. The type of pass depends on the player's position on court and how much their special bar is filled up. Try experimenting with different combinations to see what zany passes are available!
