WARNING: READ BEFORE USING YOUR XBOX™ VIDEO GAME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.

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 safety and health 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 safely 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.

The game opens with a fly-by of the stadium as the announcer sets up the match and the players take the field and line up for the opening kickoff. The centers for each team talk a little trash, setting the tone for the ensuing mayhem.

• Kickoffs can be initiated by pressing the Pass button and aiming to a teammate, but will be automatic if too much time is taken.

Note: The controls described in this section are the defaults. For information on alternate and custom configurations, see Options Menu on p.25.

On The Field

The higher the Shot Meter when you release the B Button, the more powerful your shot.

Shot Meter

On The Field

Make every shot a one-timer shot. The redirection gets the goalie out of position, increasing your chance at a goal, and the move combo increases your Power Point value. It's a win-win situation.

PLAYING WITHOUT THE BALL ON OFFENSE OR DEFENSE

•To run, press the left thumbstick in any direction.

• For a turbo boost, hold the right trigger while running.

•To switch control to the player closest to the ball, press the A button. (Unless your Controller is locked onto a specific player.)

•To hit an opposing player, run up to him/her and press the X button. The force of a solid hit can knock the ball handler off the ball.

Don't forget to hit the goaltender if he has held onto the ball for more than 5 seconds.

•To attempt to steal the ball, run up to the ball handler and press the

B button. Your player goes down for the slide tackle.

•To protect yourself from an oncoming hit, press the Y button. Timed correctly, you'll spin out of harms way.

GOALKEEPER CONTROLS

On The Field

POWER METER

The Power Meter is the heart and soul of Sega Soccer Slam. Learn to master it, and you will control your destiny on the field. When you generate enough Power Points to completely fill the meter you'll have enough power to attempt a Killer Kick – the most devastating move in the game!

Power Points

Just about every move on offense is worth a fixed number of Power Points. By simply playing the game, you will slowly fill up your meter.

Move Pass Shot Protect Deke Hit Steal

Power Points

10 10 15 20 20 20

To fill up your meter more quickly, chain together different moves for maximum points.

As long as you perform successive moves within three seconds of each other, you can string four moves into one combination, which will be tallied at the end of the combo, and each different move adds a 2x multiplier to the total.

Examples: Steal (20) + Pass (10) + Shot (10) = 40 x 6 = 240 Power Points. Steal (20) + Deke (20) + Protect (15) + Shot (10) = 65 x 8 =520 Power Points.

Power Ups

Any time you have power in your Power Meter, you can Power Up the player you are controlling. Each team has its own signature power source, but the effect is the same: players become stronger and faster and better shooters.

•To Power Up a player, pull the left trigger. The Power Up continues until you release the left trigger or the Power Meter runs out, whichever comes first.

on the field

KILLER KICKS

When your Power Meter is completely full, it flashes KILLER KICK! to indicate that you now have this overpowering shot in your arsenal. The more Killer Kicks you can manage in a game, the better your chance of destroying the competition.

To take a Killer Kick:

1. Hold the right trigger and the A button at the same time. The ball is lobbed high into the air, a green circle appears on the field beneath it, and you take control of the pass recipient.

2. Move your player into the circle and press the X button once the green cone of light appears. (Half of your power points are used to initiate Step 1 and the remaining half are used to initiate Step 2.)

3. Before your player connects with the ball, press the left thumbstick toward a corner of the goal to aim the shot. When the player connects, he or she

sends an explosive shot toward the net.

If you're saving up for a Killer Kick, lay off the Power Up moves. It is very difficult to fill up the Power Meter when you continue to use it up bit-by-bit.

Power Meter lights up as you score Power Points.

When Power Meter is

filled, you can perform

a Killer Kick.

SPOTLIGHT SHOTS

Every once in a while when you're on offense in your opponent's half of the field, a spotlight image of your team's logo flashes across the field. Get the ball handler into the spotlight and take a shot for a powerful kick that rivals a Killer Kick.

To take a Spotlight Shot:

1. Move the ball handler into the spotlight and press the X button. The player jumps into the air and takes a slow-motion swing at the ball.

2. Before your player connects with the ball, press the left thumbstick toward a corner of the goal to aim the shot. When the player connects, he or she sends a blistering shot toward the net.

The defenders are just as aware of the spotlight as you are, so they make it very difficult for you to run into it. You'll have more success if you pass to a teammate who's closer than you to the spotlight.

Pause Menu

You can pause the game by pressing the START button at any time to access the Pause menu or just take a break from the action. The following options are available from the Pause menu.

•To choose a menu item, press the left thumbstick *@ to highlight it, then press the A button to select. The appropriate screen appears.

HALFTIME/END OF THE GAME

At the end of the first half, play stops and the teams exchange sides of the field to line up for the second half kickoff. The Away team takes the kickoff to begin the second half.

The end of the second half is the end of the game. The winning team celebrates, the losers sulk, and the Match Summary screen appears displaying final stats.

•To exit the Match Summary screen, press the A button.

• If the game ends in a tie, play continues with a Sudden Death overtime period. The first team to score wins the match.

Note: If necessary, multiple Sudden Death periods are played until a team scores.
