Since there were only 2 FAQs for this game at GameFAQs, and actually only 1 that was solely dedicated to the Genesis version I decided to throw this together. I remember playing this game when I was in the fifth grade and I thought it was the coolest thing, but now we have Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, etc. so it's not really all that great..... But still the best basketball game for the Genesis with the exception of the sequel (NBA Jam: Tournament Edition) so it's worth a FAQ. Please send any comments, additions (things I forgot) or questions to me so I can add them to this FAQ or help you out with an answer. The Crippler cripplerx@hotmail.com ----------------- 2) Updates ----------------- Version 1.7 (1/7/00) No actual update or changes to the FAQ... I just changed my alias and e-mail address and replaced it everywhere in this FAQ. Please note that cripplerx@hotmail.com is no longer my e-mail address! Outkast outkast325@hotmail.com P.S. - If you want the reason for the name change, mail me and let me know and I'll tell you (this isn't the place to explain). Version 1.0 (11/22/99) Everything has obviously been added. This FAQ will be updated in the future, but not that much. ----------------- 3) Controls ----------------- Offense: Tap A - Head Fake Hold A - Jump Shot Press A + Turbo - Dunk Tap C - Swipe/Steal Hold C - Pass Hold C + Turbo - Hard Pass Tap B - Swing Elbows Hold B - Turbo Defense: Tap A - Block Hold A - Block Press A + Turbo - Super Block Tap C - Swipe/Steal Hold C - Swipe/Steal Press C + Turbo - Push/Shove Hold B - Turbo Start - Pause Game ----------------- 4) General Info ----------------- The different types of dunks you can do: - Arms and legs not extended dunk - Super high one-handed dunk - Super high backwards dunk - Backward dunk - Leaning forward dunk - Super height spinning dunk - 360 degree spinning dunk - Soaring dunk - Tomahawk jam - One-handed power dunk - On fire super high flip dunk The dunking concept is rather easy; just go up to dunk and the one that you get is random. If you dunk enough times during a game with a good dunker, the backboard glass will shatter toware the end of the game. ----------------- 5) Players/Teams ----------------- There are 27 teams with 2 players to each. They all come rated with speed, three point shooting ability, dunks and defense.

All Power-Ups For power-up defense, shot percentage, unlimited turbo, half court dunks, and to stay on fire the whole game, when it asks if you would like to enter your initials, press yes. At the initials screen, go to S and press C+Start, go to N and press B+ Start, and then go to K and press C + Start. Then at tip-off, when the anouncer says something, press C + Start! Submitted by Daniel Greene (d_baseball12@hotmail.com) Ball Advantage To have the advantage of getting the ball at the beginning of the second and fourth quarter instead of just the second, plug your controller into the second player port and play like you usually would. Submitted by Tim Moysey (moysey@recorder.ca) Juice Mode At the Tonight's Matchup screen, press A 13 times, and then hold B + C until the court appears. Powered-Up Defense For a better defense, wait for the "Tonight's Match-up" screen to appear, then press any button five times. On the fifth tap, press and hold the button until the tipoff. Powered-Up Dunks At the "Tonight's Matchup" screen rotate the D-pad 360 degrees and press B 13 times. Powered-Up Fire To be "On Fire" for the entire game, wait until the "Tonight's Match-up" screen appears, then hit any button seven times. Then, press and hold B + C + Up until the tipoff. Submitted by Neil Uppal (luppal@ica.net) Powered-Up Interceptions Steal the easy way with this code, especially if your team has speed or defense problems. Wait until the "Tonight's Match-up" screen appears, then hit any button 15 times while rotating the directional pad clockwise. On the fifteenth tap, hold the button until the tipoff. Powered-Up Turbo At the "Tonight's Matchup" screen press A 13 times, then press and hold A + B + C until tip-off. Shot Percentage Display This code rates the likelihood that you'll make a shot, excluding dunks. It's not very accurate however, as shot likelihood is largely determined by your player's attributes and whether computer assistance is on. To get this display, press any button once at the "Tonight's Match-up" screen, then hold A + B + DOWN until the tipoff. Smash the Backboard First, you have to do alot of dunks, and get most of your points in the 4th period. When you have around 48 points, dunk the ball with a player with full dunk power and the backboard will break. Submitted by bambam8658@aol.com Super Code At the Tonight's Match-up screen press B 7 times then hold B + C + Up untill the tip off. If you did it correctly, you'll be "on fire", immune to goal tending calls, and will never run out of Turbo. Submitted by Trevor Fields (trevorfields@hotmail.com) ----------------- 8) Records ----------------- Well, I've had this game for six years now, and I'll admit that I lost a few times when I first got it and lost a few times after that, but here are my three best records and the initials I use. Initials: SFO Wins: 749 Losses: 12 Initials: JR Wins: 478 Losses: 3 Initials: DMX Wins: 125 Losses: 0 It takes years and years to play as many games as I have; my goal is to hit the 1000 mark and I'm getting there with SFO. ----------------- 9) FAQ ----------------- Q: Which teams do you prefer? A: I like the well-balanced teams like the Sonics, Bulls and Spurs. I don't like having one good player. Q: How do I get rid of that annoying computer player? A: Go to options before the game and turn tage mode on. Q: What's the best team in the game, who's the best player, and which attribute is most important? A: I think that the Knicks and Bulls are the two best because of how well-rouned they are. There's lots of good players such as Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Shawn Kemp and plenty more. I think that the most important attribute is the 3-point one because if you're down by a lot and you have a good 3-point shooter (like Chris Mullin or Ronny Seikaly) you can sink a few three's and you're back in the game.
