SAFETY INFORMATION

About Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software.

Avoid Damage to Your Television

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or

rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

GET STARTED

INTRO

STEPPIN’ IT UP

In 2002,

NBA Inside Drive

took virtual basketball to a

whole new level. Real-Time Coaching made it possible

for you to call plays on the fly. As the general manager, you traded players and inked deals with free agents. And, the more than 1,000 animations gave you an incredible number of jawdropping moves.

A year later it’s back—

NBA Inside Drive 2003

—

with all-new features that’ll stun you as never

before. Warm up in Practice mode before

you get on the court for real. Then, take your

favorite team through as many as 25 full

seasons—with new rookies

available every year.

And, if that weren’t

impressive enough, you can even put yourself in

the game. Create a player

who looks like you, went

to your school—and best of

all—has the skills you only dream of

having. Then, get that player on a team, rack up some achievements, such as

quadruple-doubles and a shot or two

at the buzzer, and you are on your way

to superstardom.

Kevin Calabro will be there, along with Marques Johnson, Kenny Smith, and

Akemi Takei. There’s no way you’ll miss

a second of the action.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Let’s begin at the beginning. That would be the Main Menu, naturally. This is where you take your first step along the path to b-ball immortality. Check out the Help text at the bottom of the screen for more information on each option.

PRACTICE

If you’re eager to shoot some hoops but aren’t ready to run with the big dogs just yet, try out Practice mode.

The Shoot Around option makes it possible for you to take the court without the pressure of an opposing team shutting you down. You control the guy with the ball, while his teammates wait for you to pass the ball to—and take control of—them.

To hone your skills at the charity stripe, choose the Free Throw option. You can practice your shots as long as you want. See Normal Free Throws on pg. 17 for specific instructions on how to shoot free throws.

COACH SAY S

Hold the Left Trigger to backdown on your defender. Then, when you’re ready to drive, let go of the trigger, and move the Left Thumbstick left or right to spin past your opponent.

directional switch, move the Right Thumbstick in the direction of the player to whom you want to switch, and then click the thumbstick.

COACH SAY S

To try to steal the ball from your opponent, position your player in the path of a pass, and then press the B button when the ball gets close to your man.

ASK COACH

Yo, Coach!

The guys on the other team always slip past my defenders. How can I stop ’em?

--Defenseless in Denver

Dear Defenseless, What you need to do is hold the Left Trigger to get in a defensive crouch and spread your arms wide enough to prevent your man from driving to the basket. Use the Right Trigger as well to slide more quickly.
