SEASON

SEASON AFTER SEASON

What’s that? A single season isn’t enough for you? Need a 
place where you can really leave your mark? We’ve got just the 
thing. With 

NBA Inside Drive

, you can create, play, and manage 

your team for as many as 25 seasons. Through clever trades, 
successful drafts, and smart free-agent management, you can 
build a champion team. And, with the help of the 

Create Player

 

feature, you literally can be in the game.

Fantasy Draft

If you really want to start your season from scratch, set the 

Fantasy Draft

 option on the 

Gameplay Settings

 menu to 

Yes

. Note that the 

Fantasy Draft

 option is available on the 

Gameplay Settings

 menu only after you enter 

Season

 mode. 

It does not appear on the 

Gameplay Settings

 menu if you 

make any other selection from the 

Main Menu

.

Created Player Progress

At the end of each season, a player’s rating in 
each skill category might increase or decrease 
according to either 

Natural

 or 

Incentive

 

progression. 

Natural

 progression is based on a 

number of factors, including age and potential, 
and all existing NBA players will progress 
this way. Created players can use 

Natural

 

progression or 

Incentive

 progression, which lets 

you increase their skills based on points they earn during 
the season (see pg. 24).

Management

Some of the most important plays aren’t made on the 
court. They’re made behind the scenes by guys in 
suits with fancy pens. But, don’t worry. 

NBA Inside 

Drive

 gets you in that game too.

  •  Choose 

General Manager

  mode only.

League Home

 menu after you’ve started a 

  season if you want your changes to affect that season.

ASK COACH

Yo, Coach!

I want to put all my favorite players on 

a single team, but it takes too long to 

trade them all. Isn’t there an 

easier way?

--Dreaming in Detroit
