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 welllit 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 gameplay 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.

HOT AND COLD STREAKS
LINEUPS
Lineups Hot and Cold Streaks
Don’t like the starting five on your favorite team? Think the coach is
crazy for playing the veteran power forward when the rookie on the
bench is twice as good? Now you can edit the lineups before you hit
the hardwood.
To set the starting lineup for a single game
1. On the Team Select screen before the game begins,
press
X
to view the Coaching menu, and then select
Edit Lineups.
2. Use
l
or
r
to cycle through the preset lineups
(Defensive, Quick, Big, 3-Point, Rebounding).
3. Press
A
to select the highlighted player, move
L
up or
down to highlight his replacement, and then press
A
again
to make the switch. Repeat as necessary.
4. To set one of these lineups as your starting lineup,
press
>
START.
To set the starting lineup permanently
1. From the Main Menu, select General Manager, and then
select Edit Rosters.
2. Use
l
or
r
to select the team you want to edit.
3. Press
A
to select the highlighted player, move up or down
to highlight his replacement, and then press
A
again to
make the switch. Repeat as necessary.
If you want a better chance of scoring points—or shutting down your
opponent—you need to get momentum on your side.
To get on a hot streak, string together a series of successful shots,
blocks, or steals. But, be forewarned. If you put up several bricks in
a row, you’re headed for a cold streak instead.
If you notice that your opponent is on a hot streak, try calling a
timeout to cool him off. If one of your own guys can’t buy a bucket,
bench him.
