Note: Sega SportsTM NBA 2K is a one-to four-player game. Purchase additional controllers (sold separately) to play with two or more people. Before turning the Dreamcast power ON, connect the controller(s) or other peripheral equipment into the control ports of the Dreamcast. To return to the title screen at any point during game play, simultaneously press and hold the A , B, X , Y and Start Buttons. Power Button Port A Port B Port C Port D Open Button This will cause the Dreamcast to soft-reset the software and display the title screen. When using a Jump PackTM (sold separately), insert it into Expansion Socket 2 of the Dreamcast controller. When the Jump Pack is inserted into Expansion Socket 1 of the controller, the Jump Pack does not lock into place and may fall out during game play or otherwise inhibit game operation. Radial Menus SEGA Sports NBA 2K uses "radial menus." This new, innovative menu system will allow you quicker overall navigation. What used to be tedious is now effortless. Press and hold your analog stick in the direction of any option you want, then press A to select the highlighted option. 3 The crowd is deafening, but you block it out, because quite simply - it's crunchtime, and you want the rock. 6 seconds left in the game, and you're down 1.

IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD!!! 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:46 AM Page 4 CONTROL SUMMARY NBA 2K is designed with analog Directional Pad (D-Pad) functionality in mind. Analog not only gives you a much fuller range of motion, but also adds to the overall depth of the game due to the level of precision control it provides. Note that the controls and tips offered below refer to NBA 2K's default controls, but alternate control schemes are available as well - in particular, one with D-Pad as the primary control for all you old-schoolers. 4 Analog Thumb Pad Offense with Offense with Ball Offense with Ball Ball Offense with Ball X Button Y Button B Button A B X Y L A Button Pass Crossover Shoot/Rebound Pass Icons Backdown Turbo Playcall/Shift Call Play Call for Pick Alley Oop 5 NOTE: Never touch the Analog Pad or R/L Triggers while turning the Dreamcast power ON. Doing so may disrupt the controller initialization procedur e and result in malfunction. Expansion Socket 1 Expansion Socket 2 R D-PAD D+ A , B, X , Y Start Button D+ L D+ R Spend less time setting up the game and more time playing it. If at any time you need help navigating through the menus, press Y and a Help Screen will help you find your way. NOTE: An alternate D-Pad scheme may be chosen off the Controller screen. TIPS TIPS L / R Triggers TIPS TIPS If you press B you will execute a crossover, however if you are pressing Turbo R at the same time, you will do a spin move. 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:46 AM Page 6 Basic Offense Basic Offense Basic Offense Basic Offense Shooting X The way to shoot is to press and hold the X button. When you have reached the top of your jump, release the button to release your shot. Here are brief descriptions of all your fundamental offensive functions. Directional Passing A You can pass to any of your teammates by pressing the analog stick in the direction of the intended player, and then pressing A . Icon Passing L Use icon passing to guarantee that your pass goes to the intended receiver. If you hold down the L trigger, pass icons will appear above each of your teammates. When you've located the player you want to pass to, press the corresponding button. It's worth noting that the following buttons will always pass to the following player positions: A Point Guard (1 spot) B Shooting Guard (2 spot) X Small Forward (3 spot) Y Power Forward (4 spot) R Center (5 spot) NOTE: If you do not let go of the shoot button, you will land with the ball and receive a traveling violation. TIP TIP For maximum shot percentage, hold down the X button and release it at the peak of your jump ­ the better the shooter you're controlling, the more forgiving the timing. 6 Layups and Dunks X Both layups and dunks are also on the "shoot button", and it takes a little practice getting used to knowing what kind of shot will be triggered when pressing X . The basic rule is that if you are moving to the basket you will dunk or layup. If you are standing, you will perform a jumpshot. The exception is if you find yourself directly under the basket. In this case, players who are able to jump right up and dunk the ball, will do so. Others will put in a layup off the glass. Each NBA player has unique dunk and layup skills. Therefore different players will be able to perform different driving moves (dunks/layups) depending on where on the court they are. Also, the better dunkers will be able to dunk from farther away than other players. In NBA2K, players DUNK first and LAYUP later. Meaning, if they CAN dunk from a particular spot on the floor they will. Otherwise they'll drive in for the layup. 7 NOTE: Memorizing each button/position assignment will help you get the ball to the player you are looking for, even if he is not immediately visible. Crossover Dribbles B Some people use these simply for style points, while others who know how to use them can effectively "fake out" their defender, by faking one direction and going another. Crossovers also give the ball handler the opportunity to change the ball from one hand to the other as a protection technique. TIP TIP Experiment with your favorite players in Practice Mode to find out just exactly what they are made of. Turbo R Turbo is just like it sounds - it makes you go faster. When the turbo button R is pressed, your player will pick up the speed and his momentum will carry an effect into select, subsequent moves. 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:46 AM Page 8 Advanced Offense Advanced Offense Advanced Offense Advanced Offense Alley-Oops D-Pad + R Press D-Pad then the right trigger button R to throw your teammate an alley-oop. Two things are certain with alley-oops: 1. You will ALWAYS throw an alley-oop pass regardless of whether or not your player is in position to finish the play. 2. An alley-oop pass will always be passed to your teammate that is closest to the basket ­ so check to see who it is and if he has an open lane. Backing Down L Are you a fan of the post up game? Well NBA2K will let you bang it in just like the pros. To muscle your way into the paint, hold down the L button, while you move your player toward the basket. Of course, there needs to be a defender there, or you won't have anyone to post up with. When in a post up battle your players physical size, strength and post up skill, versus the defenders, will determine whether you'll get the defender moving backwards or if you'll find yourself banging against a brick wall. Once you work your way close enough to the basket, press the Shoot button to put up a classic low post hook. 8 For an extra advantage while backing down your player L , try pumping the Turbo button R each time your player lunges back - this will give you extra effectiveness. Pumping turbo also works for the post defender. To keep the poster out of the paint, pump the Turbo button when the poster "throws" his weight at you. TIP TIP 9 Don't forget the new NBA post up rule. You can only have your back to the basket for 5 seconds. Bang it in quick and get the shot off or the ref will blow the whistle. If your player wants you to throw an alley-oop pass, you will see him wave his hand while running toward the basket. However, it is not necessary for him to wave his hand for you to complete the play. TIP TIP Spin out of Backdown Mode When in Backdown Mode, release the L button and press the analog toward the basket to perform a spin out of backdown move. NOTE: The success of your spin move will be based on how favorably the ballhandler's speed compares to the defensive player's. Pivot Mode If you do not move your player upon receiving a pass, he will be in Pivot Mode. He will automatically attempt to protect the ball, by shielding it with his body while your stick is in neutral. Don't wait too long however, because he won't be able to shield them off all day! 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:46 AM Page 10 Pump Fakes To get an open shot, tap the Shoot button X and pump fake the defender into the air. An "uncontested" shot has a much higher probability of going in, so if you wait until your defender is on his way back down before you initiate your shot, your odds of making the shot will greatly improve. To perform a "Show and Go", try doing a pump fake, then when your defender has gone for the fake, you can quickly drive around him to the basket. TIP TIP Playcalling Each team has 16 plays in their playbook. You can select from (4) plays via the in-game playcall menu, which is brought up by pressing the D-Pad . From there you call the play you want with the corresponding button. If you want to assign different plays to the playcall menu, you do so in the coach/playbook menu. While in the game press D-Pad and then A , B, X or Y to activate a particular play. Y X A B 10 NOTE: A show and go is only possible, if you have not already used your dribble. Calling for Pick Try having a teammate set a pick for you to get that pesky defender off. To do this, hit the D-Pad , and then the L trigger button ­ your nearest teammate will create a wall for you to go around to shed your defender. 11 If you have memorized which plays are on which button, it is not necessary to even view the menu. Hit the D-pad and the corresponding button immediately afterwards, before the menu comes up. TIP TIP 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:47 AM Page 12 Defense Defense Defense Touch Passing Pass A the ball to your teammate. Then before he receives the ball, tap the pass button again to execute a touch pass to the next player you want to pass to. Touch passing is a useful technique for those who can quickly anticipate where they want the ball to go to next. Clearing Out After you grab a rebound, if you repeatedly press the B button BEFORE YOU LAND, you will "clear out" defenders around you. This is a good way of protecting the ball from defenders trying to swipe at the ball as you land. 12 Pass Out of Shot Try passing out of your shot by pressing the shoot X button, then pressing the pass A button while on your way up. NOTE You MUST roll your finger from the shoot button over to the pass button to execute this move ­ if you release your finger from the shoot button, the shot will be released before you can pass the ball. Defense A B X Y L R D-PAD D+ A , B, X , Y Swap Steal Block/Rebound Last Defender Face Up Turbo Defense Set/Shift Call Set Call for Double Team Call for Intentional Foul 13 If you can draw an extra defender to you by initiating a jump shot, passing out of your shot to the open man is extremely effective way of exploiting the defense. TIP TIP D+ L D+ R NOTE: An alternate D-Pad scheme may be chosen off the Controller screen. 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:47 AM Page 14 Basic Defense Basic Defense Basic Defense Basic Defense Advanced Defense Advanced Defense Advanced Defense Advanced Defense The following are general descriptions of the basic defensive controls. Swapping A Swapping allows you to switch into the player closest to the ball handler. The purpose of swap is to always give you a chance at making the defensive play by selecting the player with the best chance of stopping the offense. Stealing B Press B to execute a steal ­ you must get you hand on the ball to knock it away, or else you'll be called for a reach-in foul. 14 For the best chance at getting a steal, try facing up the ball L , and then Steal B and get ready to hit your outlet man for the fastbreak. You can also attempt running steals, which knock the ball loose. The following are general descriptions of the advanced defensive controls. Facing Up This is the best position you can be in to stop a player from driving past you by essentially making you a "bigger" object to get around. The disadvantage is that you have slower movement in this lateral position, however you can compensate for this by simultaneously pressing Turbo R . Defending Passes You can actually jump in front of passes to deflect them away from their target and into your own possession ­ however, you need to be quick to get the loose balls. TIP 15 TIP handler by pressing the Left trigger TIP TIP To pick up a loose ball, simply guide your player to the ball and he will automatically pick it up. Blocking X Blocking is an effective way of stopping a ballhandler's shot from going in the basket. If you are in front of an opponent that is attempting a shot, pressing Block X will either knock the ball down, or diminish the probability of the shot's success. Last Defender Y This will give you the player closest to your opponent's basket. This is a particularly useful button when you need to defend against a breakaway basket, and you only have 1 man back. It is also useful, if you simply want to gain control of one of your low post players in the half court. Defensive Sets Options available are: Full Court Press, Half Court Press, Half Court Trap, and intentional foul. Defensive sets works in the same way the offensive playcall menu work. Press D-Pad to bring up the menu and press A , B , X , Y to select the defensive set. Á Full Court Press. Defenders pick up their man AT THE INBOUND. Á Half Court Press. Defenders pick up their man at the half court line. Á Half Court Trap. Defenders try to TRAP the ballhandler at the half court line. Á Intentional Foul. Instructs players on your team to try to foul the ball handler quickly, to stop the clock. 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:47 AM Page 16 Offense Without Ball Offense Without Ball Offense Without Ball Intentional Foul Whether your opponent is going to make an easy, uncontested basket, or you just need to stop the clock, you can do so by executing an intentional foul ­ this is done by first holding down the R button, and then pressing the L button while making contact with the ball handler. Offense Without Ball NOTE: The difference between calling for an I.F. and committing one, is that by calling for one, you've told the rest of your teammates to commit one as well, so whoever is most able will do so. All teammates will be in I.F. mode until either a foul is committed or there is a dead ball situation, in which case you would have to call for I.F. again to reinstate the order. 16 Calling for Double Team You can call for a double team at any time, by pressing the D-pad, and then the L button. The nearest teammate will switch from his man over to yours and help tighten the defense on the ballhandler.

To keep a posting player from backing you in, try pumping turbo at the same time the poster is throwing his weight at you. 2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:47 AM Page 18 Game Set Up Main Menu Free Throws NBA 2K has developed an innovative, new Free Throw system. The trick to successful FT shooting is to press both trigger buttons L and R simultaneously and also at the same level for each.
