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.

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.

The plays are organized by type into groups called play lists. The name of the play list will help you know when to use the plays in that group. For instance, 3-Point plays help you get off a good three-point shot, Post plays are ideal for getting the ball to your big man down in the key, and so on.

Each team will have four plays already assigned to the D-pad. You can change these assignments from the Coaching menu before the game or from the Pause menu during the game.

SYMBOLS

DEKE MOVES

SHOW OFF YOUR MAD HANDLES

A deke is a special move, such as a spin or crossover, which makes it possible for you to fake out a defender to get an open shot or drive to the basket. The exact type of deke move performed depends on the player’s ability.

Note that the chart on the next page shows the direction to move the thumbstick in relation to the basket. For example, means to move the Left Thumbstick toward the basket,

means to move it away from the basket, and so on.

ASK COACH

Yo, Coach!

I wanna pull off a move that’ll really make my opponents stand up and take notice. Any suggestions?

--Invisible in Indiana

Dear Invisible, How’s about showing off with a killer alley-oop? Watch for a teammate who has a clear path to the basket, and then pass to him. Depending on his dunk and style ratings, you’re likely to end up watching a slammin’ dunk show. To increase your chances of throwing the alley-oop lob pass, use the Right Thumbstick to throw the lob.

POST MOVES

PLAYING IN THE PAINT

Getting the ball down in the post is the perfect opportunity to show your opponent just how weak his defense really is. Here are some key post-play moves to master.

Note that to perform any of these moves or shots, you must first start backing down your defender by holding the Left Trigger while inside or within two feet of the paint. As with the previous chart, the chart on the following page shows the direction to move the Left or Right Thumbstick in relation to the basket.

ASK COACH

Yo, Coach!

I can’t seem to shake my defender in the key. How can I get him off my back and get a clear shot?

--Hounded in Houston

Dear Hounded, If your Shooting Control is set to Normal, press the X button to pump fake. You might draw your defender off his feet, giving you an opportunity to drive to the basket or get a more open shot.

SHOOTING

HEAR THE SWOOSH

Your mad handles don’t mean a thing if you can’t get the rock through the hoop. Read on to learn all you need to know about shooting from the field or from the charity stripe.

On the Controller Settings menu, you can adjust Shooting

Control and Free-Throw Control.

To access the Controller Settings menu

• When starting a game, press the Y button on the Controller Select menu.

-or-

• Select User Profiles from the Main Menu, and then select My Options. Select a user profile, and then select Controller Settings.

-or-

• During a game, select Controllers from the Pause menu, and then press the Y button.

Normal Shooting (default)

If Shooting Control is set to Normal, you must press and hold the X button and then release it to make the player release the ball. Release the ball at the top of the jump for the best chance to score. Watch the shooting meter that appears under the shooter. For the best possible shot, the meter should be half red and half green.

Easy Shooting

If Shooting Control is set to Easy, tap the X button to take a shot. The shooter’s accuracy is based solely on his shootingskill ratings. Note that you cannot perform a pump fake if Shooting Control is set to Easy.

COACH SAY S

To perform a tip dunk, press the Left Thumbstick toward the basket, hold the Right Trigger, and press the X button. Time it just right, and you’ll catch the rebound and dunk it in the air.

Normal Free Throws (default)

If you choose to set the Free-Throw Control to Normal, the accuracy of the shot depends on you. A ball appears at the bottom of the screen.

To shoot a free throw

1. Press the X button to make the ball start moving across the bar.

2. Press the X button again when the ball fills the Power circle.

3. Press the X button one more time when the ball fills the Accuracy circle.

The speed at which the ball moves depends on the player’s free-throw ability. The better the free-throw shooter, the slower the ball. Also, the

closer you get to completely filling the circles, the more accurate the free throw will be (though a better free-throw shooter might still make the shot, even if you don’t fill the circles perfectly).

Easy Free Throws

If Free-Throw Control is set to Easy, then press the X button when your player is at the line. His accuracy is based solely on his free-throw skill rating.

ASK COACH

Yo, Coach!

My friend makes every single one of his shots from the line. How can you stop a guy like that?

--Jealous in Jersey

Dear Jealous, To break his concentration, make his controller vibrate by repeatedly tapping the X button.

SEASON AFTER SEASON

What’s that? A single season isn’t enough for you? Need a place where you can really leave your mark? We’ve got just the thing. With

NBA Inside Drive

, you can create, play, and manage your team for as many as 25 seasons. Through clever trades, successful drafts, and smart free-agent management, you can build a champion team. And, with the help of the Create Player feature, you literally can be in the game.

Fantasy Draft

If you really want to start your season from scratch, set the

Fantasy Draft option on the Gameplay Settings menu to Yes. Note that the Fantasy Draft option is available on the Gameplay Settings menu only after you enter Season mode.

It does not appear on the Gameplay Settings menu if you make any other selection from the Main Menu.

Created Player Progress

At the end of each season, a player’s rating in each skill category might increase or decrease according to either Natural or Incentive progression. Natural progression is based on a number of factors, including age and potential, and all existing NBA players will progress this way. Created players can use Natural progression or Incentive progression, which lets you increase their skills based on points they earn during the season (see pg. 24).

Management

Some of the most important plays aren’t made on the court. They’re made behind the scenes by guys in suits with fancy pens. But, don’t worry.

PUT YOURSELF IN THE GAME

So, you say it’s not enough just to control the guys running up and down the court. And, you’re not satisfied with the power to hire, fire, or trade players at whim. What you really want is to see yourself on the hardwood. Done.

To create a player and add him to a team

1. On the Main Menu, select General Manager. (A player created this way is available in Practice, Single Game, and Playoffs modes. Note that your player does not earn additional skill points in Playoffs mode.)

-orOn the Main Menu, select Season. Follow the prompts until you reach the Off Season menu or the League Home menu, and then select Front Office. (A player created this way is available only in the season in which he was created.)

2. Select Create Player.

3. Use the Left or Right Trigger to cycle through the available options.

4. Press the Black or White button to change the color of accessories.

5. Save your player, and add him to a team.

6. On the General Manager menu, select Edit Rosters.

7. Select your created player (who currently is inactive), and then select the active player with whom you want to switch.

Setting a Skill Level

In addition to customizing your player’s background info and physical appearance, you also can determine his ball-playing skills. If you set the player’s style to Custom, you can use a point bank to improve his attributes however you like. If you change your player’s style, his attributes are adjusted accordingly.

When adjusting custom attributes, notice that not all skills are equal. The number of basketballs and the color associated with a skill indicate how important—and expensive—that skill is. Be sure to watch the point bank at the top of the screen to see how

many points you have to distribute.

Note that when you leave this screen, your

player’s attributes are fixed. You are

able to increase these settings

after you earn additional

skill points.

CREATE PLAYER

From No Name to Superstar

When your newly created player earns certain achievements in Single Game or Season mode, you’ll receive additional points you can use to increase his abilities. Note that created players will earn points in Season mode only if you’ve set Created Player Progress on the Gameplay Settings menu to Incentive.

THE SWEETNESS OF THE SIXTEEN

Did you come to play, or did you come to win? You can ball for the love of the game, but when it comes down to it, it’s all about taking home the crown.

1. Move up and down to display a team, and then press the X button to select that team.

2. Move in any direction to highlight the position for that team, and then press the X button to place the team in that position.

different position in the playoffs, that team switches places with the one you are replacing. If the team you are placing is not in the playoffs already, the team you are replacing is taken out of the playoffs.

3. Press the Y button if you want to have the matchups randomly selected for you.

4. When you are finished positioning the teams, press the A button to advance to the next screen.

WARRANTY

Limited Warranty For Your Copy of Xbox Game Software (“Game”) Acquired in the United States or Canada

Warranty

Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) warrants to you, the original purchaser of the Game, that this Game will perform substantially as described in the accompanying manual for a period of 90 days from the date of first purchase. If you discover a problem with the Game covered by this warranty within the 90 day period, your retailer will repair or replace the Game at its option, free of charge, according to the process identified below. This limited warranty: (a) does not apply if the Game is used in a business or for a commercial purpose; and (b) is void if any difficulties with the Game are related to accident, abuse, virus or misapplication.

Returns within 90 day period

Warranty claims should be made to your retailer. Return the Game to your retailer along with a copy of the original sales receipt and an explanation of the difficulty you are experiencing with the Game. At its option, the retailer will either repair or replace the Game. Any replacement Game will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or 30 days from receipt, whichever is longer. If for any reason the Game cannot be repaired or replaced, you will be entitled to receive your direct (but no other) damages incurred in reasonable reliance but only up to the amount of the price you paid for the Game. The foregoing (repair, replacement or limited damages) is your exclusive remedy.

Limitations

This limited warranty is in place of all other express or statutory warranties, conditions or duties and no others of any nature are made or shall be binding on Microsoft, its retailers or suppliers. Any implied warranties applicable to this Game or the media in which it is contained are limited to the 90 day period described above. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, NEITHER MICROSOFT, ITS RETAILERS OR SUPPLIERS ARE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE POSSESSION, USE OR MALFUNCTION OF THIS GAME. THE FOREGOING APPLIES EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations as to how long an implied warranty lasts and/or exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitations and/or exclusions of liability may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.
