Free Throws
NBA 2K has developed an innovative, new Free Throw system. The trick to successful
FT shooting is to press both trigger buttons
L
and
R
simultaneously and also at the
same level for each. When you have managed to line the arrows together over the bas-
ket, press Shoot
X
to release your shot.
NOTE : Each player does their signature Free Throw routine, however, if you want to bypass this and go straight to
the shot, press your triggers to bring up the FT arrows.
If you don’t squeeze both triggers AT THE SAME TIME, your
shot will be off. You cannot press one down, then try to
compensate with the other trigger - the two must become one. Daniel-san!

Game Set Up
Exhibition
Choose any two teams in the league and take it out on the court.
Quick Start
Go straight to the tip-off with two randomly selected teams.
NOTE: The team you control will always default to the home team.
Season
Take your team(s) through a full 82 game season, or customize to 56, 28 or 14. We’ll
track your player and team stats, and let you see how you stack up against the rest of the
league. Enter a User Profile, and your own personal records will be kept as well.
NOTE: Before you tip off your season, make sure you have a VMU to save it out.
Custom Season
There’s nothing like playoff basketball. Playoff mode let’s you bypass the
regular season yet still gun for the prize. The structure follows NBA regulated
rules, but you can customize each series to be either 7, 5, 3 games or 1.
Playoffs
There’s nothing like playoff basketball. Playoff mode let’s you bypass the regular season
yet still gun for the prize. The structure follows NBA regulated rules, but you can
customize each series to be either 7, 5, 3 games or 1.
