Lineups
Hot and Cold Streaks
Don’t like the starting five on your favorite team? Think the coach is
crazy for playing the veteran power forward when the rookie on the
bench is twice as good? Now you can edit the lineups
before
you hit
the hardwood.
To set the starting lineup for a single game
1. On the
Team Select
screen before the game begins,
press
X
to view the
Coaching
menu, and then select
Edit Lineups
.
2. Use
l
or
r
to cycle through the preset lineups
(Defensive, Quick, Big, 3-Point, Rebounding).
3. Press
A
to select the highlighted player, move
L
up or
down to highlight his replacement, and then press
A
again
to make the switch. Repeat as necessary.
4. To set one of these lineups as your starting lineup,
press
>
START.
To set the starting lineup permanently
1. From the
Main Menu
, select
General Manager
, and then
select
Edit Rosters
.
2. Use
l
or
r
to select the team you want to edit.
3. Press
A
to select the highlighted player, move up or down
to highlight his replacement, and then press
A
again to
make the switch. Repeat as necessary.
If you want a better chance of scoring points—or shutting down your
opponent—you need to get momentum on your side.
To get on a hot streak, string together a series of successful shots,
blocks, or steals. But, be forewarned. If you put up several bricks in
a row, you’re headed for a cold streak instead.
If you notice that your opponent is on a hot streak, try calling a
timeout to cool him off. If one of your own guys can’t buy a bucket,
bench him.
