TIME OUT

You can take a Timeout if you need to make any substitutions or
give your players a breather.

To call a Timeout:

1. When in possession of the ball press the START button to access

the Pause Menu.

Both teams begin the game with six Timeouts that they can use
when in possession of the ball.  With two minutes left in the
second half, both teams’ timeouts will be reduced to two timeouts
(if they have more than two left).  If the game goes to Overtime,
each team will get an additional Timeout.

SUBSTITUTIONS

By default, substitutions are automatically performed for your team
when necessary.  Should you wish to control your team’s substitu-
tions, go to Coaching: Settings and switch Substitution to Manual.
Then return to the Pause Menu and select Substitutions.

To make substitutions:

1. Once in the Substitutions Screen, highlight the player you wish

to substitute out of the game and press the 

✖ 

button.

2. Highlight a bench player, indicated by the word “bench” next to

their name, and press the 

✖ 

button. 

3. Press the

button to proceed and return to the Pause Menu.

On the Substitutions Screen, you can also automatically select 
a preset lineup to put on the floor for different situations in 
the game.

strategy, change defensive assignments, assign double teams, and
much more.
