PASSING TO THE PLAYER CLOSEST TO THE BASKET:
Black button
New to this year’s version of the game is the option for one-button passing to get
the ball to the open man nearest the basket. If you see a player break free down
low, simply press the
Black button and your player will whip a pass to the man
closest to the hoop. You’ll still be able to pass to that player using the traditional
directional passing or icon passing options, but this button can serve to give you
those Larry Bird-esque
“eyes in the back of your
head.” If you see a
double- or triple-team
occurring at the half-court
line, someone has to be
open. Of course, as with
all other passes, if the
player is closely guarded
when you make the pass,
there’s a good likelihood
that the pass will be
knocked away or stolen.
BACKING DOWN THE DEFENDER: left trigger
Do you have a size advantage over your defender? If so, pull and hold the left
trigger to drive him back into the paint, then release the trigger and move the
left thumbstick in any direction to create space for the shot. If you press left or
right, your player will attempt to spin around the defender and get to the hole, or
he will perform a drop step. If you pull back, he’ll attempt a classic fadeaway a la
Hakeem Olajuwon or Juwan
Howard. If he’s underneath
the basket, simply press
forward and press the
X
button to slam it on your
defender’s melon. Don’t
forget about the three-sec-
ond violation or the newer
five-second “back-to-the-
basket” rule.

CALLING FOR A
PICK: White button
To have a teammate set a
pick for you in an effort
to lose that pesky
defender, press the
White button . Doing so
will cause the teammate
nearest you to create a
wall for you to step
around and (hopefully)
get you an open look at
the basket.

Coach’s Corner: Posting Up
When in a post-up battle, both players’ physical size, strength
and post-up skill will determine whether you back your man
down or bang against a brick wall. If you find yourself squaring
off against an equal opponent, try pulling the
right trigger to
give yourself a little extra power.
