Blood rushes to your headas you
get up from the final timeout.
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. You come off the pick and grab the inbound pass,
and immediately you’re double-teamed.
Fake left with a quick step, but spin right and sprint down the sideline.
You take a look at the clock and it’s down to 3.
There’s one man between you and the basket.
Like a ray of light, you notice the weight of his body shift ever so slightly to your
right, it’s your only chance so you crossover leftleaving
him on his heels, pull up with 1 on the clock and launch the trey... it’s up at
the buzzer, and... IT’S GOOD, IT’S GOOD!!!
Are you the heir apparent?

CONTROL SUMMARY
NBA 2K is designed with analog
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.

Turbo R
Turbo is just like it sounds - it makes you go faster. When the turbo button Ris pressed,
your player will pick up the speed and his momentum will carry an effect into select, sub-
sequent moves.
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
Shooting X
The way to shoot is to press and hold the Xbutton. When you have reached the top of
your jump, release the button to release your shot.
NOTE: If you do not let go of the shoot button, you will land with the ball and receive a traveling violation.
For maximum shot percentage, hold down the Xbutton and
release it at the peak of your jump – the better the shooter
you’re controlling, the more forgiving the timing.

Experiment with your favorite players in Practice Mode to find

Basic Offense
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 Ltrigger, 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: APoint Guard (1 spot)
BShooting Guard (2 spot)
XSmall Forward (3 spot)
YPower Forward (4 spot)
RCenter (5 spot)
NOTE: Memorizing each button/position assignment will help you get the ball to the player you are looking for,
evenifheisnotimmediatelyvisible.
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 anoth-
er. Crossovers also give the ball handler the opportunity to change the ball from one
hand to the other as a protection technique.

98 For an extra advantage while backing down your player L,
try pumping the Turbo button Reach 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.
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.
Advanced Offense
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 Lbutton, 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.
Spin out of Backdown Mode
When in Backdown Mode, release the Lbutton 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
defensiveplayer’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!
TIP
TIP
Alley-Oops D-Pad +R
Press D-Pad then the right trigger button Rto 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.
Advanced Offense
Advanced Offense
Advanced Offense
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.

Pump Fakes
To get an open shot, tap the Shoot button Xand 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.
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 Ltrigger button – your nearest teammate will create a wall
for you to go around to shed your defender.
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.
NOTE: A show and go is only possible, if you have not already used your dribble.
TIP
TIP
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.

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,Xor Yto
activate a particular play.
2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:46 AM Page 10

1312 Pass Out of Shot
Try passing out of your shot by pressing the shoot Xbutton, 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.
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.

Touch Passing
Pass Athe 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 Bbutton 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.
2KBasketball_Manual 2/25/00 11:47 AM Page 12

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,Yto select the defensive set.
➪Full Court Press. Defenders pick up their man AT THE INBOUND.
➪Half Court Press. Defenders pick up their man at the half court line.
➪Half Court Trap. Defenders try to TRAP the ballhandler at the half court line.
➪Intentional Foul. Instructs players on your team to try to foul the ball
handler quickly, to stop the clock.

The following are general descriptions of the advanced defensive controls.
Advanced Defense
Advanced Defense
Advanced Defense
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.
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 Xwill 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 use-
ful 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.
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.
Stealing B
Press Bto 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.
For the best chance at getting a steal, try facing up the ball
handler by pressing the Left trigger 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.
TIP
TIP To pick up a loose ball, simply guide your player to the ball
and he will automatically pick it up.

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 Rbutton, and then pressing the Lbutton while making contact with
the ball handler.
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
toreinstatetheorder.
Calling for Double Team
You can call for a double team at any time, by pressing the D-pad, and then the Lbutton.
The nearest teammate will switch from his man over to yours and help tighten the
defense on the ballhandler.
Defending the Post. To keep a posting player from backing
you in, try pumping turbo at the same time the poster is
throwing his weight at you.

Free Throws
NBA 2K has developed an innovative, new Free Throw system. The trick to successful
FT shooting is to press both trigger buttons Land Rsimultaneously and also at the
same level for each. When you have managed to line the arrows together over the bas-
ket, press Shoot Xto release your shot.
NOTE : Each player does their signature Free Throw routine, however, if you want to bypass this and go straight to
the shot, press your triggers to bring up the FT arrows.
If you don’t squeeze both triggers AT THE SAME TIME, your
shot will be off. You cannot press one down, then try to
compensate with the other trigger - the two must become one. Daniel-san!

In practice, all 5 of your starters are going to be on the sideline at the beginning, so that
you can practice with anyone (and it is easy to have more controllers come in). If players
want to change who they are practicing with, they can go to the substitutions menu.
Having a bunch of players in practice also lets people practice icon passing and touch
passing, and makes it a great place to practice pass out of shot.

NOTE: You also have 10 additional points to distribute where you want.
NBA Rules
Every rule in the game is adjustable, or is able to be turned OFF – so check them out,
