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 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.

YOU THINK YOU GOT IT? THEN BRING IT.

You don’t just love the game. You exist for the game. You think, feel, sweat, and dream the game. So you won’t settle for just another wannabe hoops sim. No, you’ve stepped up to NBA Inside Drive 2002.

It’s on and poppin’, and this time you’re out to prove that you’ve got the skills to pay the bills — on and off the court. With NBA Inside Drive, you’re a player, coach, and manager — all in one.

As the player, you can drop the dime off the pick and roll — or light ‘em up from three-point land. With over 1000 animations, NBA Inside Drive 2002 gives you a vast array of moves — including exclusive high-flying dunks that were motion captured from the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Champion, Vince Carter.

As the coach, you’ll get to direct the action on the floor with Real-Time Coaching using playbooks created from actual NBA scouting reports and NBA coaches.

As the general manager, you’ll trade players and ink deals with free agents. You’ll have to deal with major and minor injuries that could slow down players for a few days or even put them out of commission for the entire season.

Over 200 individually modeled player heads, more than 10 custom body types, a full range of player accessories and shoes, and individual skin textures for each player deliver some of the most realistic-looking players ever seen in a video basketball game. Plus, each NBA arena has been individually modeled with painstaking detail, right down to the championship banners.

And with Kevin Calabro and Marques Johnson sitting courtside with vibrant play-by-play and color commentary — along with Akemi Takei’s sideline commentary for game analysis and injuries — NBA Inside Drive will get you into the game like never before.

Don’t Get Schooled

You’ll get taken to the hole all day long if you don’t heed this tip… Pull and 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. Pull the right trigger to slide more quickly.
