II. CONTROLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn how to play the game here, in this section. Learn what each
button does and how to do what.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Offense
----------------------------------------------------------------------

\ | / The joystick is used to control your player with precision
-- 0 -- control. Run around, open up lanes, and cause havoc using
/ | \ this. The way you press is the way you will go, meaning up
will move you up the court.
_
_| |_ The directional pad is used for calling your plays. You press
|_ _| this and then press what play you would like to put into
|_| action.

To run a play, you press the corresponding button. To learn more about
running plays, see the play section of this FAQ.

You can also call for a pick using the D-Pad. After pressing it, press
the left trigger button, and viola, a teammate will come to your
rescue, and get a pick, opening the shot.

Another feature of this is the alley-oop. Pressing the D-Pad, and then
the right trigger button, you have the chance for a alley-oop. Make
sure you have a tall, physical teammate in the area, or you will miss
the dunk, or have the ball fly out of bounds, giving up the turnover.

( A ) The A button is used pretty much just for directional passing,
and to pass to the point guard in icon passing.

To directional pass, you have to do a couple of things. First, you have
to find who you want to pass it to. After doing that, you have to move
your player so he is looking at your target. Press A to send the ball
towards him. A couple of flaws in directional passing are noticeable.
You cannot pass behind the back, or pass to someone not in your line of
sight. If two players line up, it will go to the closest player,
meaning if you wanted it to go to the farther player, you will not be
able to get it to him.

It is very good in 2on2 street ball though, since there is only one
person to pass it to, just use it to pass to your teammate, you don't
even have to think about where the player is.

( B ) The B button is a very good button. You can do crossovers,
jukes, and spins with this button. These moves can open up the
lane, stun your opponent, or get you some space for a shot.

To perform a crossover, press the B button. Depending on your player,
you will either perform a slow, or a fast spin. A player like Shaq will
make a very slow move, while a player like Kobe will spin really fast.

Doing a spin is a little more advanced. You must hold down the left
trigger, and press B. This will do a lot more damage to your defender
though. Most of the time he is stunned for a couple of seconds, so if
you do not get past him the first time, you can easily maneuver pass
him.

Be warned. Doing this moves opens you up greatly for a steal. If you do
it wrong and do not get past your defender, chances are he will snatch
it out of your hands.

( Y ) The Y button is used for icon passing. In my opinion, using
this is a very good idea. Although it takes some time to get
used to which buttons are assigned to which player, you can become a
very skilled player.

The following key will help you learn what pass goes to whom.

A Point Guard
B Shooting Guard
X Small Forward
Y Power Forward
R Center

( X ) The X button is for shooting. The key to shooting is to time
it just right. Depending on your shooter, the timing gets
wider. For Shaq, the timing must be exactly perfect, but if you have
Kobe, you can be lazy and not get it exact.

To shoot, press X and hold it down. As soon as you get it to the right
release point, release X and your player will shoot the ball.

You can also dunk and lay-up with the X button. All you need to do is
be moving towards the basket, and press the X button. Depending on your
player and position, you will either dunk or lay-up or shoot it.

To pump fake, instead of holding down the X button, tap it. You will
pump fake it. If you have already dribbled, you will not be able to do
it again, but if you haven't yet, you can pump, cause your defender to
jump, and then move, and shoot for the wide-open shot.

[ L ] The left trigger button is used to back down. Usually you need
a stronger player to back down a defender, but sometimes you
can get lucky and back down with a weaker guy.

To do a drop step shot, press and hold the left trigger to turn around,
and back your defender down. Now, hold left or right with the joystick
and shoot. Your player will spin the way you held, and shoot it. Very
effective against taller opponents.

[ R ] This button enhances some of your simple moves, and is
officially called turbo. The moves it enhances are your
running, your spin move, and your dunks. Press this button for faster
running, a spin move, and harder, in your face dunks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Free Throws
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you get fouled while taking a shot, or when the other team has
reached their limit for team fouls, you will go to the free throw line.
To make a free throw, you must line the two green arrows up. They do
not have to be perfect, but it does help. The key is to press the same
amount of pressure on each of the trigger buttons.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Defense
----------------------------------------------------------------------

\ | / The joystick is used the same way for offense as for defense.
-- 0 -- You use it to control your man, and that is all it does.
/ | \

_
_| |_ Again, same as the offense, except this is used for calling
|_ _| defensive plays. You can call defensive sets, as well as
|_| double team, and intentional fouls.

To call a double team, press the D-Pad, then press the left trigger.
This will call one of your teammates over to help you out. This is
useful when you are being post-upped and you need someone to come help
defend.

To call an intentional foul, you press the D-Pad, then press the right
trigger. This is very good to use when down in the last seconds by a
couple of points, and you need a turnover.

( A ) The A button is used to switch players, from the closest, to
the second closest player. Doing this will give you the chance
to defend, instead of risking the chance of having the CPU control it.

Defending a player yourself has it advantages, as well as its
disadvantages. One advantage is that you are doing it yourself, and you
will not have to depend on your teammates to make a mistake. Another
advantage is that you can predict the CPU's shots more, and what they
will do.

Disadvantages are just as many. You are a human, and humans make
mistakes. You cannot predict all the movements of the CPU, and if you
make a small mistake, or take your eyes of the game for a split second,
you can get burned quickly.

It is your decision, and I recommend doing it yourself, maybe you will
have a different opinion.

( B ) The B button is used to try to steal. You must be near the
person with the ball to even have a chance. The way to steal
is to hold down the left trigger, and then press the B button. This
raises your chance to get the ball.

Be careful about doing this in excess. If you do it a lot, you will be
called on the foul, reaching in. If you get called on too much, you can
send your opponents to the free throw line, or you can eventually get
fouled out.

( X ) The most important factor of defense is blocking shots. What
better way to stop the offense by denying the basket to them?
The most effective way to block a shot is to be near the shooter. When
he goes up to shoot, you go up to block, when he releases, you release
the X button. It is harder then it sounds, and will take lots of
practice.

[ L ] The left trigger button is used to face up against the offense
trying to back down, or to protect against the drive.

When the player with the ball is doing a post up, press this button to
apply pressure to his back, and to stop him from coming in.

You can also make it difficult for players to drive to the hole. You
spread your arms out and pretty much put up an invisible wall. You also
hold this button when trying to steal to increase your chances of
stealing the ball.

[ R ] The right trigger button is used for turbo. You can catch up
to defenders that have blown you by, and also blow harder, and
face up harder. This is an essential to defense.

III. GAME PLAY MODES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn everything you can about game play modes and how they work. Also
learn about the menus that each mode presents to you out of the game
and in the game.

To get the most out of this part of the FAQ, you have to read all the
way through it, because I don't want to have to repeat myself, and look
like I tried to run up the size of the FAQ.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exhibition
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The exhibition game play mode is just one game, two teams, and after
the game is over, all you get is the satisfaction of beating someone.
There is nothing else, but it is good if you want to play beat your
friends skull in.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Season is probably the in-between a franchise and an exhibition game.
You do not have to put the work that you would have to put into a
franchise, but it is a little more advanced then exhibition. You make
trades, play games, and hopefully get to the championship.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Practice
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Practice makes perfect, so make sure to head over to the practice
courts and practice your jumper. You can find out many things about
your team when you practice, like who can shoot, and who can dunk. It
is a very good court to practice your shots on, because the CPU tells
you how well you released the ball.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tourney
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tourney is the in-between of season and exhibition. You only play a
couple of games, but there is a championship, and you get to play for
it, if you get that far. This is fun if you have a bunch of friends
over, and you want to have a tournament.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Franchise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The most in-depth part of the game, franchise lets you take over as a
general manager of a team. You get to make trades, scout draft picks,
and pretty much manage a team. You also get to play the games. Very
fun, and you get the satisfaction of building a team.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Street
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another aspect of NBA 2K1 is the ability to play on some famous street
courts, like Rucker Park. All rules go down the drain when you come to
the streets. You can choose from 2on2 to 5on5. Again, there are no
fouls, just out of bounds.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Network
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While playing over the internet can be fun, it can get really boring.
The strategies change because of the lag, and you must adapt to them. I
will talk about the strategies later.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
IV. TEAMS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Find out how each team stacks up against each other, their strengths
and weaknesses, and how well they play with each other.

-*--------------------------------------------------------------------
Current
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The teams of now are listed here. Find out how Kobe lines up against
Iverson, and how the Wizards are doing with their dismal team. As I was
not that big of a fan of basketball until this year, I am not sure how
much insight I can give you.

V. STRATEGIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Find out what is the best way to play the game, and how to play it, and
how to take the best shots in this section. You will defiantly learn
something that will make you better.

Passing the ball is the best way to score. Learn how to pass quickly
and you will be able to make the defense cry like babies away from
their mommies.

Always look for the inside shot before going out to your three pointer
jumpers. With a good center or power forward, you can always get into
the paint and score.

Get turnovers. The more turnovers you get, the less chances they have
to score.

Always double team centers and power forwards when they are posting you
up. You will get a steal 90 percent of the time.

Foul as least as you can. If you foul twenty times a game, chances are
your opponents will make 75 percent of the free throws, probably giving
them 15-30 more points then they would have had with no fouls.

When shooting for a three point, always bring a screen over. Even if it
does not work, your chances to make the shot are raised, just because
of the screen.

When you drive with your power forward or center, your opponents will
usually double-team you, giving you an open player. This means more
points if you did not already know.

First rule, defense means absolutely nothing in this mode. You cannot
defend a player if you are the one controlling him. Try to stay as far
away from the ball as possible.

Second rule, defense means absolutely nothing, so that means you get
easy three points. This is the cheapest part of the game. All you have
to do is fake someone out, and their lag will carry them far away,
leaving you for the open shot.

Pick a team with a great three-point shooter.

Compensate for your lag by timing your shots, instead of relying on
your visual senses.

What to find some weird stuff that is going on in the world of NBA 2k1?
Look here to find it.

The camera bobbles up and down sometimes.

You can be fouled by your own teammates, and get free throws, and get
fouled out by doing this.

Commentary issues, like saying wrong names, not recognizing a blowout
late in the game.

You can get pushed out of bounds.

Once saw the CPU dunk a rebound by dunking to the left of the basket,
and hitting the backboard, and it counted.

Counts points as fast break points even if you pull back and wait until
the shot clock runs down.
