1. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Scorpion Kid makes this FAQ possible! Check out my page:
http://members.tripod.com/~TheSting007, or email me here
syedatif@hotmail.com, I am currently working on a site for the new
system Sega Dreamcast. Although the PlayStation is my favorite system to
play on, but Sega's Dreamcast looks pretty interesting. This is my first
FAQ that I have written I hope it isn't done unprofessionally. Let's get
started with the FAQ, I don't like the FAQ's with useless writing to
bore their reader.
========================================================================
2. THE ABBREVIATIONS...
<- Left -> Right
UP Up DO Down
X= X O= Circle
S= Square T= Triangle
========================================================================
3. TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THE GAME...
...When shooting, press X before you release your shot to make a mid-
air pass.
...By creating a user name you can save a record of your stats and
your controller and menu options by regularly saving your settings to
the Memory Card.
...If you are playing 3-Point Shootout and you don't want to view the
CPU player's turn, enter the 3-Point Options screen and set CPU Players
to Simulate.
...When you are in Practice mode try to work the basket from different
distances and angles to get a feel for what your player can do when
there's no one between him and the hoop.
...Anytime while you are playing and want to do great dunks, start
running toward the hoop and then hold L2+S, O, or, T.
...If the opponent's good in stealing, try to do crossovers on them so
that they wouldn't be able to steal the ball. The crossover button is S
and only work when you have the ball.
...To get the ball easily when in Arcade mode just press the S button.
...Sometimes when you are playing the game you might start throwing
bricks, try to find the teams best player, then shoot from a close range
so that you can get the player on fire.
========================================================================
4. CHEATS...?
...FAKE OUT DEFENSE
When you inbound the ball, wait for a defender to come up to you. While
you still have your dribble, hold down R2 and press the direction pad as
if you were dribbling up court. After you let go of R2, quickly press
square, and then dribble up court the opposite way that you did at
first. The defender will be faked out, and you will have an open path to
the hoop!
...FAKE PASS
During game play press L2+X and you will execute a fake pass.
========================================================================
5. Q&A...
...This section is about the questions asked about the game, if you
have these questions then maybe you'll get the answers!
Q1. I just bought NBA LIVE '99, and it doesn't seem to work, is it
because my CD is green (or any other color)?
A1. Yes, it is because it must be a copied CD and you probably don't
have the MOD CHIP. So, try to go to a local video game store and ask
them if they install the Chip or just simply exchange it or return it.
Q2. How do I create a player?
A2. Just go to the Menu option by pressing O then go to players.
Q3. I don't have a memory card, how can I beat the game in Season mode?
A3. If you want to beat the game in Season mode without the memory card
you can't do anything else but go straight to the Playoffs. You can't
beat the playoffs without the memory card either, but set the playoffs
to 1-1-1-1 game for each round. Now, you won't have to play 3, 5, or 7
games!
Q4. When is the next version of this FAQ coming out?
A4. I don't know, but if people say I left something out then I would
have to make a newer version of the FAQ.
Q5. What would be in the next FAQ?
A5. Maybe more questions like these, because at this moment I can't
find any question to be answered. Please Help!
Q6. How long is this FAQ?
A6. This FAQ is 2 full pages.
