Tap the L Button to swap players when in offense and defense. This is useful for getting a selected character into the action quickly! Opponents Special Bar: This is how much special power the opponents have. Special Bar Player Arrow TIP OFF Press the A Button to start the game. When the referee throws the ball in the air, press the A Button again to pass the ball back to your teammate and get the match underway. Special Bar:The Special Bar indicates your current flair on the court. The bar fills up as you perform outrageous dunks and passes. When it's maxed out, it is time to show what The HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS® are all about! By filling up the bar, gravity defying dunks that have made the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS® a household name are unlocked. Stamina Bar: This indicates how much stamina the selected player has. By holding down the L Button, the player is able to get a temporary boost for their character. Over time this diminishes and then regenerates. Over the course of a match, however, it will degrade depending on the selected players stats. Make sure to use the substitutions wisely to ensure the squad is always at 100% fitness. PASSING By tapping the B Button, the player is able to perform a pass. The type of pass depends on the player's position on court and how much their special bar is filled up. Try experimenting with different combinations to see what zany passes are available! 14 15 1 -2 PASSING To perform a quick 1 -2 pass, tap the R Button just after releasing a pass. This is a good way of performing a quick break and linking lightning fast passes between teammates. SPRINTING Press and hold the L Button to sprint. This is useful for initiating a break or for getting out of a crowded situation. Just remember that your characters won't be able to sprint forever! BASKET HANG SHOOTING Press the A Button at any time to shoot when in offense. The button is pressed twice-the first time to initiate the shot and the second time to release the ball. With practice and timing you too can shoot like the superstars on the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS® roster! Depending on your distance from the basket, the type of shot will intuitively change. Try experimenting and seeing what awesome shot types you can find! As any decent basketball player will know, it's not just about getting the ball through the hoop. It's about doing it with style! After performing a dunk by holding down the A Button, you will be able to hang on the rim for a short period to try to fill up the special bar. 16 17 CREDITS HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
