Shooting and Free Throws

On the Controller Settings Menu, you can adjust Shooting Control and

Free-Throw Control. To access the Controller Settings Menu, press Y on

the Controller Select Menu before the game begins, or select

Controllers from the Pause Menu during a game, and then press Y.

Normal Shooting (default):

If Shooting Control is set to Normal, you must press and hold X,

and then release it to make the player release the ball. Release the

ball at the top of the jump for the best chance to score. Watch the

shooting meter that appears under the shooter. For the best possible

shot, the meter should be half red and half green.

Easy Shooting:

When Shooting Control is set to Easy, simply press X to take a shot.

The shooter's accuracy will be based solely on his shooting-skill

ratings (see pg. 24). Note that you will not be able to perform a

Pump Fake if Shooting Control is set to Easy.

Normal Free Throws (default):

If you choose the Normal setting, the accuracy of the shot will

depend on you. A ball will appear at the bottom of the screen.

1. Press X to make the ball start

moving across the bar.

2. Press X again when the ball fills

the Power circle.

3. Press X one more time when the ball fills the Accuracy circle.

The speed at which the ball moves will depend on the player's free-

throw ability. The better the free-throw shooter, the slower the ball.

Also, the closer you get to completely filling the circles, the better

the free throw will be. A better free-throw shooter may still make the

shot, even if you don't fill the circles perfectly.

Easy Free Throws:

When Free-Throw Control is set to Easy, simply press X when your

player is at the line. His accuracy will be based solely on his free-

throw skill rating (see pg. 24).

A deke is a special move, like a spin or crossover, that allows you to

fake out a defender to get an open shot or drive to the basket. The

exact type of deke move performed will depend on the player's ability.

* The default Right Thumbstick setting is Pass. To change it, access the Controller

Settings Menu by pressing Y on the Controller Select Menu before the game begins,

or by selecting Controllers from the Pause Menu during a game, and then pressing Y.

Note: This chart shows the direction to move the thumbstick in relation to

the basket. For example,

means to move the left thumbstick toward

the basket,

means to move it away from the basket, and so on.
