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 front­or 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.
Connect to Xbox Live

This will initiate a pass to your nearest teammate.
• To pass the ball to a teammate of your choice, press the left
thumbstick or directional pad in the direction of the teammate
you want to pass to and then press the A button. This will initiate a pass to the nearest teammate in the direction you pointed to.
Shooting
• To shoot a jump shot, press the X button and release the button
at the top of your jump. The type of shot is determined by your current position on the court.
• To attempt a layup or dunk, dribble into the painted area of the
court and then press the X button with the left thumbstick or directional pad pointed towards the basket. The type of layup or dunk performed is determined by the layup and dunk rating of the player. Keep in mind that using turbo (right trigger) will increase the range of your lay-ups and dunks.
• To pump fake a shot, quickly tap the X button. The player will
make a quick shooting motion to fake out the defender, but will hold onto the ball.
• To pass out of a shot, press the X button to shoot and, without
letting go of the X button, quickly press the A button to pass while in the middle of your jump. Your player will now pass while in midair.
ADVANCED OFFENSE

left/right on the left thumbstick or directional pad after you tap B.
• To spin past a defender, run towards the defender, pull the right
trigger to speed boost and quickly press the B button. If done
properly, your player will perform a spin move.

left trigger. Your ball handler will turn his back to the bask et and

ON THE COURT
As the players perform their warm up drills, ESPN’s John Ireland and Tim Neverett welcome you to the game and send you courtside for the player introductions.
The Tip-Off / Jump Ball
When the player introductions conclude, it’s on to the tip-off! Once the players line up at center court, the referee will initiate the tip-off by tossing the ball in the air. When the ball is near the top of its upward travel, press the X button to jump. The winner of the tip-off will start the game with possession of the ball.
BASIC OFFENSE

• To dribble the ball, move the left thumbstick or directional pad in the direction you want to move.
• To get a speed burst, pull and hold the right trigger while moving in any direction. When doing so, you will notice a green bar appear beneath your player indicator. This green bar indicates the amount of speed burst you have left at the moment. When this speed burst indicator bar is depleted, you will no longer able to speed burst for a short while.

Play calling
Each team has twenty-one plays in its offensive playbook and fifteen plays in its defensive playbook. Of these, four offensive plays and four defensive plays can be accessed during gameplay via the In-game Play Call Menu. If you’d lik e to customize the four plays currently in use, select Coaching from the Pause Menu, and select Offensive Plays or Defensive Plays (you can also set your Offensive and Defensive Plays in Customize Mode).
• To bring up the Play Call Menu during gameplay, press the Y button. Then press the corresponding button to run a
specific play.
• Can’t get free from a defender? Call for a pick! Having a teammate set a pick for you is a great way to get free, especially on the perimeter. To call for a pick, press the White button while in control of the ball. Your nearest teammate will run up and set a pick for you.
• To call an intentional foul while on defense, press the Black button. The defender closest to the opposing ball handler will intentionally foul him. Intentional fouls are useful in end of game situations where you’re team is behind and you want to stop the opposing team from running out the clock.
FREE THROW SHOOTING
Most games are won or lost at the free throw line. To shoot a successful free throw, you’ll need to line up both green arrows directly over the basket. To do so, pull the left trigger and the right trigger to line up the arrows, then press the A, B, X, or Y button to release the shot. Keep in mind that it’s best to move both the arrows at the same time, as they are hard to keep over the basket.
Also, remember that you don’t have all day to shoot the free throw. A clock will appear in the upper right corner of the screen to tell you exactly how many seconds you have remaining. If you’re having trouble shooting free throws, go to Practice Mode: Free Throw to hone your free throw skills. (See page 39)

initiate a protect-the-ball style of dribble. Keep holding the left trigger and push the left thumbstick or directional pad towards
the defender. As soon as you make contact with the defender, your ball handler will initiate the post up.
• With strong post players, you may be able to get closer to the basket by backing the defender in towards the basket. To do this, move the left thumbstick or directional pad in the direction of the basket while you hold down the left trigger. However, be careful of the Closely Guarded Rule: If you spend too much time posting up, you will be called for a penalty and turn the ball over to the defense.
There are a few ways you can score with the post up.
• One way to score from the post is by shooting a face-up jumper or a fade-away jumper. To shoot a face-up jumper, pull and hold the left trigger, then, while holding the left trigger, press the left thumbstick or directional pad to the right of the defender and press the X button to shoot. To shoot a fade-away jumper, pull and hold the left trigger, and, while holding the left trigger, press the left thumbstick or directional pad away from the defender and press the X button to shoot.
• The drop step move is the most effective way to score from the post up. To perform a drop step, first post up your defender by pulling and holding the left trigger. At any time during your post up (with the left trigger still held down), move the left thumbstick or directional pad in the direction you want to drop step to and then release the left trigger. Your player will drop step and spin towards the basket in the direction you selected. If the move is successful, you will be able to get past your defender and are now free to shoot a pull-up jumper or take it all the way to the basket for an easy layup.
Advanced Passing
• To pass to the player nearest the basket, press the Black button.
This passing method is helpful for back door passes as well as for advancing the ball on a fast break.
• Analog passing is the fastest way to pass to an open man. While controlling the ball-handler, move the right thumbstick in the direction that you want to pass and your player will automatically pass to a teammate in that direction.
