Rosters
Check out any player on any roster, complete with statistics and ratings.
Coach
Coach let’s you do just that - coach your team. Make all necessary strategy adjustments.
Timeouts
When looking to call a timeout, press start and go to the pause menu. You will always be
shown how many timeouts you have left before you choose to use 1 or not - only 3 per
half, use them wisely.
Trades
Searching for that impact player? Take a shot at GM, and strike a deal for your ballclub.
Up to 3 players from each team may be traded in any single transaction.
Orders
Here you can determine these various assignments for your team’s players:
➪
Defensive pressure: Regular, Tight or Loose
➪
Position defended: Make your defensive assignments, i.e. if you want
Pippen to guard the other team’s point guard, do it here.
➪
Double team: Determine who your defensive focus will be centered upon.
Substitutions
Keep your lineup fresh and out of foul trouble. Substitute in any of your desired bench
players. You can make single player for player substitutions, multiple player substitutions
OR change the whole lineup. Press
L
and
R
to scroll through the available lineups.
Lineups
This allows you to create up to 8 customized lineups to choose from in the Substitution
menu. Whether you need a 3 point lineup, a Rebounding unit or maybe you want your
best ballhandling personnel on the court, you can arrange it all here, and save yourself
from the tedious player by player substitution.
Importing
Let’s say you’re at a friend’s house and you want to use your created team, created
player and/or user records, simply insert your VMU into their Dreamcast, and all of
your personalized information will be there.
NOTE: All information is retrievable from their appropriate areas, i.e. Created Teams can be selected from Team
Select.
User Records
Go here to enter your user name and create your profile. After you’ve got some games
under your belt, check back here to see if your scores crack the Top 10.
In Game
Getting abused in the paint? Send in your Big lineup. Can’t
get any easy baskets? Send in your small lineup and try to
make speed and quickness work for you. Need a quick 3? Use the 3 point lineup.
Lineups are a quick and easy way to change the look of your team.
