2.01 (5/27/17):
Near address $0778AA, using TileMolester, changed the two Rookies graphics (player select screen and end-of-game box score) to read U.S.A. (U.S.A. 92 for select screen).

At address $1D684B, revised the first <> head sprite tile to look like <>.  Did this for the next 15 tiles (each address is +0xB0 or 139 bytes from the last).

$51B1A; $51B37; $51B91; $51BAE; $51C19; $51C36; $51C90; $51CAD.
(6/3/17) Revised Bulls roster to add back B.J. Armstrong.  <> removed from roster.
Revised Suns roster to add Barkley and Ainge.
Note: When I did this, the pointer for the head graphic in the Acclaim logo changed to the bald player, as the pointer is to the head graphic at $1FC83D and E (player $65) section.
The pointer comes from whoever the first player on the Suns is... via address $B1F0F.  Taking the 2.01 ROM and changing that value to 37 caused the Vlade Divac head to generate on the Acclaim logo.
Taking the original JAM TE ROM and changing this value to 37 placed Luc Longley's head on the Acclaim logo player's body but did not adjust the body's skin tone.
Need the pointer to point to $B19D9.

Head graphic pointer ($1FC739 and 40) is currently at A7 B8 (#B8A7 is not otherwise used in the game).  Changed to 5F B7.
[6/6/17] Using name editor, changed name of character 7A from Tyler to Yao.  Also edited All-Stars Roster to replace Olajuwon/Mutombo with Barkley/Yao.
[6/7/17] Added Yao portrait, based upon NBA Jam 2k17.  Secret character complete.
[6/8/17] The name editor appears to be corrupting the ROM when trying to change Tyler to Yao, such that the attract mode will crash.  
Using TileMolester, and at address $0B624A, manually edited the name tile.

2.08:
At address $148A7F, reset initials for all secret characters such that the button presses are Start/Y, * (any button), Start/Y.

Since player value stats were removed from the game, his head graphic and height will (and must) point to Mookie Blaylock.  To change one could change both.
This would be the same for Clifford Rozier (other unused player in the ROM) if he were added back as well.  So... I just made Mookie tall...

2.10 (6/21/17):
Additional revisions to features screens.
Replaced <> in roll call screen with Steve Kerr.  1996 Bulls roster to come.

Using Lunar Expand, increased ROM size from 24 megabit (3MB) to 32 megabit (4MB). 
This will allow for additional space for future ASM hacks, tile/sprite/portrait/screen additions, etc.
Assembled and applied revised ASM code for extended rosters.  Now, only the Konami Code (with no initials) is required, and it works for all players (1-4)!  And in Practice Mode!

3.2 [6/12 & 6/13/18]:
Using xkas and ASM, resorted the order of the 27 teams based more closely on the 1992-93 NBA standings.
Top 16 teams are ordered based on their playoff records. 
Bottom 11 teams are ordered based on their season records.
Pulled New Jersey from the order in favor of the Dream Team (set as final "boss" team).
(Jersey is restored in 3.3.1, due to pointer issues with respect to the "Last Opponent" input.
Flipped 1st and 2nd Dream Team selections, so Magic and Bird are first and will thus show up in the attract mode screen.
Changed AI difficulty for Bulls and Rockets players, since the order of play is swapped.  Leaving the rest as is.
Added feature to the attract mode screen.

3.3 [6/18 and 6/19/18]:
Having previously performed a cheat search in the ROM using Geiger?s Snes9X Debugger, and having determined that the following RAM values store injuries:
1) Player 1 = $7E1677 (SNES LoROM Address)
2) Player 2 = $7E1679
3) Player 3 = $7E167B
4) Player 4 = $7E167D
Conducted a search in the hex code for a byte-swapped string "AD 77 16" (translates to LDA $1677).
Looked for a CMP, BCC, or BCS function near that code, with a value of #$19 (25 in decimal).  Located such at PC address $0005E6.
Using an opcode/hex code table from assembler.it/portale/5/65816_guide/opcode_reference.asp, translated by hand the hex codes to opcodes near that address. 
(I didn't have my tools at the time...)
Based on the above, replaced 8 instances of #$19 (hex code 19; decimal 25) with #$63 (decimal 99).  
Effectively replaced the value in the compare function and the store function to increase the max injury value allowed from 25 (decimal) to 99.
Playtest was successful!
[6/21 and 6/22] Determined that a separate pointer table determined the last opponent played; table is at $267DE8.
Revised the strings for the teams in the hex file ($151CF0) to match the new order, and placed New Jersey back into play, instead of the Dream Team.
Resorted table at $267DE8 to point to the revised strings:
Was:		Is:		Team: 
0D		06		Golden State
0A		0D		L.A. Clippers
10		0C		L.A. Lakers
18		19		Phoenix
15		12		Portland
17		18		Seattle
05		03		Sacramento
00		00		Dallas
06		08		Denver
1A		16		Houston
01		01		Minnesota
13		15		San Antonio
16		10		Utah
09		0B		Atlanta
0F		14		Charlotte
19		1A		Chicago
12		13		Cleveland
0C		0A		Detroit
08		0E		Indiana
07		05		Milwaukee
0E		11		Boston
02		07		Miami
11		0F		New Jersey
14		17		New York
0B		09		Orlando
04		04		Philadelphia
03		02		Washington
[6/23 and 6/24] Revised end credits.

3.4 [6/24 and 6/25/18]:
Replaced the Joe Kleine secret player (player value $65) with the Terminator.  
Head sprite AF B8 used (white male with sunglasses).
Edits included name (TERMINATOR), portrait (from T2 poster), and stats (mimics Bo Jackson stats).
Initials code changed to 20 11 2E (CPU).

3.5 [6/25/18]:
Using TileMolester, swapped player names for $65 Terminator and $9A D. Darhk.
Swapped the stats and visual stats for $65 and $9A via hex editor.  
Increased the stats for $9A to match Bo Jackson. 
Swapped portraits for $65 and $9A.
Swapped the initials values for $65 and $9A.
At this point, the special player requiring a code at the first screen is now the Terminator, which will also be the most OP player in the game.
Reduced the attributes for $A6, Bo Jackson, to make him second best.  Best player now requires that L+R+Left code.
[6/27 and 6/28/18]: Located palettes for uniforms and swapped out the pointers for the Dream Team (formerly Rookies) and the All-Stars.
Dream Team now points to Pistons uniform palette, and All-Stars points to a Black/Red one (likely Blazers.)

3.6 [7/3/18]:
Added 1992 Team USA to the expanded ROM, arranged the tiles to line up properly, and set the palette, logo, and sprite table pointers for Rookies to point to these in expanded ROM.  The Dream Team now has its logo!

Used the Denver Nuggets logo as a tile sorting template (since the tiles appear easier to sort). Started with the palette and changed the pointer over to a red/white/blue one (palette is based on the Team USA logo and imported into Impaled, same as for portraits, but logos are 4bpp).  Copied sprite table and logo for the Nuggets into expanded ROM and reset the Rookies pointer to it for proof in concept.  

Using TileMolester, copied the Team USA logo into expanded ROM next to a second Denver logo. Mapped the Team USA tiles based on Denver's mapping, since the same sprite table data is initially being used.  Half way in, observed that Denver does not use some of the tiles at the top; sacrificed the bottom part of my logo ("Basketball") and kept the rest ("USA").

For one tile that would not sort properly, using vSNES, Labels tab, pulled the X and Y positions and compared them to where the tile should sit.  Corrected the X and Y coordinates in the hex code, via the sprite table.  End result... a truncated USA logo (with basketball also edited out)!

More specifics:
1) The Team USA logo is at $300C7E; converted to SNES LoRom and byte-swapped as 7E 8C E0, E0 being the bank.
2) Sprite table for Team USA is at $300BFE, or FE 8B E0.
3) The second half of the sprite table is at $300C4E, or 4E 0C 30.
4) The sprite table pointer then becomes: 7E 8C (logo) 00 02 (size) FE 8B (sprite table) E0 00 (bank).
5) Be sure to place the sprite table right before the logo.
6) The palette is at $3000A0 (3,145,888 in decimal, for purposes of TileMolester), or A0 80 E0 00.
7) Team USA tile positions and coordinates match those of the Denver Nuggets, with the exception of tile #13, an 8x8 tile.  Its position needed to be changed from 10 0B to 04 13 to correct for X and Y position.

3.7:
Via addresses (approximately) $BE300, $777EA, and $77A7E in TileMolester, changed All-Stars team name to Underdogs.  Also revised height of Dream Team name in final box score.
[7/5/18]: Revised sprite tables to split Team USA into halves.  First half is already set up in 3.6.  Sorted tiles for bottom half of logo and reset the pointers, plus changed Y coordinates to fit the full logo.

3.8 [7/8/18]:
Using injury values, plus location of timer and likely quarter designator in RAM, developed and injected assembly code that will fix the injury stat bug.
Code will reset injuries to zero for every player if the timer is at 3:00 and the quarter is the first.
[7/13/18] Added NOP code to remove "WIN!" from the U.S.A. team (formerly Rookies), and ensure when the team wins, "WINS!" displays.

lorom

org $BFAB57		;placeholder for the Rookies "WIN!" comparison
	NOP #5

3.9 [7/14/18]:
Added a Double Z splash screen to the very beginning of the ROM, using a tutorial from DackR / PunchaYoBuns.
Wish list is to get it moved to after the Iguana screen.
Edits made to acknowledgements screen [7/18], as well as Attention Ballplayers attracts mode screen and Congratulations screen [7/15 & 7/16].
[7/20] Swapped splash screen to after Iguana screen.
[7/21] Revised splash screen placement, acknowledgements, and end credits.
Revised Acclaim player palette via locations $01EA83 thru 8A (stripes) and $01EA99 thru 9F (uniform).
[7/30] Via ASM, and as provided by phonymike, replaced one byte to force the code to read the proper SRAM routine for Grand Champions, sorted based on most wins.  So, if teams AAA, BBB, CCC, and DDD have 30, 29, 28, and 27 wins apiece, but only AAA, CCC, and DDD beat all 27 teams, the Grand Champions screen will show:
#1 - AAA
#2 - ...
#3 - CCC
Meaning BBB will need to beat those 27 teams, and DDD will need to play more!

*****KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES*****
BUG 1: 5/11/17: As of 1.05, the game will freeze at the Greatest Players or Grand Champions screen if A or Start isn't pressed within a few seconds of these screens' appearances.  
This does not otherwise seem to impact gameplay.  Because roll call and copyright screens were not modified during this version, cause could be from roster swapping,
stats/name changes, or portrait/palette swapping.  

Checked 1.04; the ROM checksum was bad, but this freezing issue was not present.  Seems like the problem occurred when I created the first secret character?

Reverted to 1.04.  Added back the names in the roll call and the mod number.  No issues.  Changed the initials for Facime.  No issues.
It's the stats.  Changing the stats on a secret character crashes the game, probably because most secret characters use one set of stats, and the editor is causing a conflict in trying to manipulate them.
Attempting to change them back won't work either.  Reverted to 1.04 and used this readme to revise the ROM to match 1.10.

Addendum - I think player stats can't be changed via the Player Editor application because that application tries to apply the ratings to both the stats themselves and the discplayed stats 
(in the code, the actual attributes and the displayed ones are in two places, so they should be changed in both places).

But... secret characters are coded to display ? as stats regardless, which would cause a conflict if the application tries to change those ?s to numbers. 

Going to try going into the hex code itself and modifying the stats data for Facime to see if a crash results and verify in the app that the stats did change.  

Tests (5/12/17):
1) Went to address $1FC7CD for Facime (player value address).  Modified the bytes for block rating ($1FC7C7 now 0A), steal rating ($1FC7C9 now 0A), pass rating ($1FC7CD now 0A), power rating ($1FC7CF now 0A), and clutch rating ($1FC7D1 now 0A).

Ran the ROM in SuperGNES.  No crash in attract mode (the demo screens).  Full game ran. 

Checked stats in the Player Editor app.  Result: All 10s, as plugged into the hex editor.

ISSUE SOLVED.  USE THE HEX TO EDIT ATTRIBUTES DIRECTLY, NOT AN EDITING TOOL.
NO BUG/CRASH REMAINS.


2) Using a different clean ROM (no crashes), need to access Turmell via the Player Editor app and adjust the stats all to 10.  Then, run the ROM and see what happens.
Result: ROM crashed at the Greatest Players screen, as expected.  Secret characters are like Wu Tang Clan...


BUG 2: Replaced Danny Manning's portrait with Charles Barkley's.
Modified player name and stats to agree to Mattrizzle's NBA Jam TE - Old School Ed.
Changed address $1FC28D from B3 to AF to create a bald player.
The dext3r name editing app would not change Danny Manning's name.  
So, in 1.10, Barkley will have all his stats and likeness, but Manning's name.  
Reverted to a previous copy (i.e., put Manning back). 
As another test, attempted to switch slot 1 on the roster so Kevin Johnson is first and Manning second.  The ROM will not take the change.  

Oddly enough this is the same problem when trying to swap out Anthony Peeler for Magic Johnson.  Making Magic a secret character instead.
ISSUE SOLVED VIA WORKAROUND.  SWAPPING OUT STANDARD CHARACTERS SHOULD BE MINIMZED.  START BY CHANGING THE NAME AND TESTING IF THE ROM SAVES BEFORE GOING FURTHER.
NO BUG REMAINS.

Update (5/28/2017): This can also be resolved by using TileMolester (Byte Fwd/Back buttons, codec 4bpp planar, composite) to go into the tiles for the names and edit them at the proper addresses.  


BUG 3:
(5/14/17) When placing secret characters in the All-Stars roster, their stats display incorrectly.  
(6/2/17) Added pointers to open area within the code and manually entered each player's data (used JCE3000GT's mod for guidance).
RESOLVED.


BUG 4: 
(5/14/17) By changing A.C. Green's portrait to get Shaq, Shaq's portrait now shows up in the roll call with A.C. Green's name.
The actual game code as initially published incorrectly points to Shaq versus Green, since Green's portrait shows up correctly on the Suns.
Went into the roll call text in hex and changed the A.C. Green text to Shaq.
RESOLVED.


BUG 5:
[This is a bug in the original game.]  Upon defeating all 27 teams, a player's name will not display in the Grand Champions screen.
An ASM hack (i.e., disassembling and editing the source code) would be needed to fix this.
(Update 7/30/18) Fixed in 3.9!!!  RESOLVED.


BUG 6:
[This is a bug in the original game.]  If two games are played back to back, and the same combination of players are used on a team in the fourth quarter of the first game and first quarter of the second game, all the injuries sustained in the final quarter of the last game will carry forward to the next.
An ASM hack (i.e., disassembling and editing the source code) would be needed to fix this.
(Update 7/8/18) Fixed in 3.8!!!  RESOLVED.


BUG 7:
The Double Z splash screen generates in a few places beyond just after the Iguana screen, such as after exiting Practice Mode and after the Game Over screen. This is due to the placement of the ASM for hijacking the original code and inserting the splash screen.  Currently it's the best place to generate the splash screen without having it appear in even more places or worse, crash the game.  Have fun with it!  Cowabunga!

BEFORE YOU LACE UP THE SHOES

LOADING:

1. Make sure the power switch is OFF.

2. Insert the NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION Game Pak as described in your
SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM instruction manual. If you wish to
play a three or four-player game, plug in a Super Multitap or a Super
Link (sold separately) at this time as described in its instruction
manual. NOTE: NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION supports only the Super
Multitap or the Super Link.

3. Turn the power switch ON.

When the NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION title screen appears, press the START
BUTTON. [NOTE: There are four different player positions in NBA JAM
TOURNAMENT EDITION. Players 1 and 2 are teammates, and players 3 and 4 are
teammates who oppose them.]

HEAD TO HEAD mode places two human players on opposite teams. The person
with controller 1 is player 1, but the person with controller 2 is player 3.
You can play one-on-one, two-on-two, or two-on-one competitive games.

----------------------------------

(5)

TEAM GAME mode puts both players on the same team (2 players vs. computer),
making the person with controller 1 player 1, and the person with controller
2 player 2. It's you and a friend against the computer!

PRACTICE mode, exclusive to NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION, enables you to work
extensively on perfecting your passing and Jamming skills before you take them
into HEAD TO HEAD or TEAM GAME competition! Workable with one player plus a
CPU teammate or with two human players, PRACTICE mode allows you to set up
specialty drills, and to review and refine your dunks before you team up
against the NBA's best!

OPTIONS mode lets you customize your NBA JAM Tournament Edition game play
in a wide variety of ways! (For additional details on this mode, see
CUSTOMIZE THE GAME on page 8)

If you are using a multi-player adaptor, you will be asked to select the
controller
number corresponding to the player you wish to control: controller 1 is player
1, controller 2 is player 2, and so on. Everyone who wishes to participate
should then press the START BUTTON on their respective controllers.

Whether you are using a multi-player adaptor or not, you will then be asked
if you wish to enter your initials for record-keeping. Use the CONTROL PAD
and the A, B, X, Y, or START BUTTON to choose.

----------------------------------

(6)

This decision affects all players; no player can enter initials if "no" is
selected. If "yes" is selected, each player will then be asked to enter
his/her initials. Use the CONTROL PAD to move the cursor to the desired
letter, then press the A, B, X, or Y BUTTON to select. If the initials
entered are one of the sixteen in memory, your record will be immediately
recalled. NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION's record-keeping feature stores each
player's record, ranking, winning percentage, and more!

In all but the OPTIONS mode, you will then be asked to choose your NBA
team. Use the CONTROL PAD to highlight the team you want. Both players
can pick the same team. Each team is comprised of two players from a
roster of three or more NBA teammates. In addition to the 27 NBA teams,
NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION features a rookie team made up entirely of
NBA newcomers. As with regular teams, both players can select rookie teams.
Rookie team games do NOT count towards a season.

Notice that for every player featured in NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION, a
field of statistical ability rankings appears at the bottom of the screen
below the player's portrait. These figures rate each player on a scale of
0 to 9 in eight important playing categories.

----------------------------------

(7)

Attributes rated are:

[LABELED SCREENSHOT OF PLAYERS WITH RATINGS]

Speed: How peppy the player is.

3 Pt: Rates how well the player hits the hoop from "downtown".

Dunk: A ranking of what kind of Jammer the player is.

Pass: How accurate a player's passing game is.

Power: The power of a player is important in terms of both his strength and
his ability to withstand injury.

Steal: Rates a player's ability to strip the ball from opponents.

Block: How good is the player at rejecting and deflecting attempted shots?
The block rating tells no lie!

Clutch: Tells you whether this player comes through when you need him most,
or if El Foldo is more his style.

----------------------------------

(8)

Once you've highlighted your team, use the A, B, X, or Y BUTTON to scroll
through the available player combinations on that team, then press the START
BUTTON to lock in your choice.

CUSTOMIZE THE GAME!

The options screen provides you with a wide variety of ways to affect game play:

TIMER SPEED: The speed of the clock may be set from 1 (very slow) to 5 (very
fast).

DRONE DIFFICULTY: The competitive intelligence of your computer controlled
opponents may be set from 1 (not so smart) to 5 (very smart).

TAG MODE: In a one-player or one human per team game, NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION
allows you to select how you wish to control your teammate. OFF is the default.
As in the arcade version, you control one player the entire game, and the
computer controls your teammate (unless a human player should "jump in" with
his START BUTTON). ON enables you to control both the ball-handling and the
movement of whichever player on your team has the ball. The "tag" occurs when
your teammate gains possession, so if a pass is intercepted, you retain control
of the player who passed.

----------------------------------

(9)

COMPUTER ASSISTANCE: Set on or off. When on, this option button will cause
the computer to make sure that games remain close by cooling off any team
that gets too big a lead! Turn off to give both teams a "fair shake".

CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION: This mode offers you six different ways of setting
up the BUTTONS on your controller for various pass, shoot, and turbo options.

VIEW/DELETE RECORDS: Activating this option will take you to the record screen.
NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION stores records and stats for up to 16 different
players! At some point, however, you may wish to make room for a new one. To
erase a record, use the CONTROL PAD to highlight the desired record and press
the A BUTTON. You will then be asked to confirm whether you truly wish to
delete this record. Press the START BUTTON to abort your deletion, or the Y
BUTTON to erase the record. Press the START BUTTON to return to the OPTIONS
screen.

SPECIAL FEATURES allows you to make additional adjustments to six game features:

1. TOURNAMENT MODE. When on, this disallows all power-ups and cheats, and turns
computer assistance off. Notice that when Tournament Mode is on, all other
options in the special features menu are not available, and that Computer
Assistance is automatically turned off on the regular options screen.

----------------------------------

(10)

2. SHOT CLOCK. May be adjusted from 5 seconds to 24 seconds.

3. OVERTIME. May be adjusted from 1 minute to 3 minutes.

4. HOT SPOTS. When on, will create visible hot spots with different point
values. Shoot or Jam from a hot spot and score bonus points! When your
player lands on one, you'll hear a sound and the color of the spot will
change.

5. POWER-UP ICONS. These will enable a player to instantaneously (and
temporarily) increase his dunking ability, cause a player to remain
temporarily "on fire", increase his ability to intercept a pass...and more!
Available to be picked up by a human player or the CPU, they appear on screen
at random intervals. Here's a directory of available icons you'll find in

TIME TO HIT THE BOARDS!

An NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION game is divided into 4 quarters of three minutes
each. A game begins with a tipoff, as two players leap for the ball in order
to gain control. Possession of the ball at the beginning of the second and
fourth quarters goes to the home team (team two), and to the visiting team
(team one) at the start of the third quarter, regardless of who wins the
initial tip or who possesses the ball when the previous quarter ended. The
home team defends the basket at the right side of the screen and scores
against the visiting team's basket at the left side of the screen.

(---------------------HOME TEAM

The object of the game is to have outscored your opponents when the final
buzzer sounds. A basket counts for two points when it is shot from inside
the three-point line, and three points when shot from behind it. A
defensive player can block a shot, but only when the ball is on the
upward part of its arc. If it is touched by a defender on its downward
flight, a goaltending call is made, and points are awarded whether or
not the basket was going to go in. Once the ball touches the rim however,
it can be grabbed by any player, either offensive or defensive.

----------------------------------

(14)

To make identifying the ball-handler easy, whenever a player has possession
of the ball, an orange basketball indicator will appear behind his name
at the top of the screen. If nobody has possession - the ball is in the air
or has been knocked away - there is no indicator.

If a player scores three baskets in a row, he is "on fire!" During this time,
he has unlimited turbo, and a much better chance of sinking shots from
anywhere on the floor! Only one player can be "on fire" at a time. Being
"on fire" lasts for four baskets by the "on fire" player or until the
next opposing basket goes in, meaning that a teammate can score without
disrupting the fire. The ball glows when the player on fire holds it and
smokes when he shoots it!

SUBSTITUTIONS

After the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters, NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION allows you
to make player substitutions from your team roster. Change the player
combination by pressing the A, B, X, or Y BUTTON. When you see the two
players on screen you want in the game, press the START BUTTON to begin
the next quarter. [NOTE: When a player completes a season by defeating all
27

----------------------------------

(15)

NBA teams, expanded rosters become available for some teams.]

Injury: A progressive assessment of a player's health, this ranking will
increase as a player sustains increased injury throughout a game. An
injured player will suffer degraded play in all attribute areas, so you
may wish to substitute a healthy player for an injured one. Sitting a
player out for a quarter will completely restore his health.

JAM CONTROLS

CONTROL PAD: Moves your player up and down the court. When any player is
off-screen, his position is marked by an arrow with his player number
and color, the height showing where he is vertically on the court, and
distance from the edge showing how far off-screen he is.

----------------------------------

(16)

SHOOT/BLOCK: When your team has the ball, the SHOOT button will cause you
(and on a one-human team, your computer teammate as well) to shoot for
the basket. Your player releases the ball when you release the button.
Releasing the ball at the apex of your leap gives your shot greater
accuracy, but releasing it quickly or very slowly can often prevent a
leaping defender from blocking or stealing the ball. Tapping SHOOT
quickly several times executes a head-fake which may trick the defense,
but it stops your dribble so you must either pass or shoot the ball
before you can move!

When your team does not have the ball, SHOOT/BLOCK causes your player to
jump up for a block. Timing is crucial to denying the shot. Jump too
early and the shooter can wait until you fall out of the way, jump
too late and the shooter can shoot it over you! Many times your defender
will get a piece of the ball without rejecting the shot completely. The
ball will flash white whenever your defensive player makes contact with
it.

----------------------------------

(17)

PASS/STEAL: When your team has the ball, the pass button will cause you
(and on a one-human team, your computer teammate) to pass the ball to his
teammate. But a passed ball is easily intercepted by a defender, so look
before you pass!

When your team does not have the ball, tapping this button causes your
player to swipe at the ball in the hopes of either stealing it or knocking
it out of an opponent's hands.

TURBO: TURBO causes your player to run much faster than he normally would
(determined by his attributes), whether on offense or defense, allowing
you to blow by a defender, or to step around a pick and block a shot!
Unfortunately, your player has only a limited amount of turbo power,
indicated by the meter under your player's name. As you use it, the meter
runs down, but when you release TURBO,

----------------------------------

(18)

it begins to regenerate. A player using Turbo can be spotted by his colored
shoes! When a player is "on fire," he has unlimited turbo until his fire
is put out, but to use the turbo, the button must still be held!

[SCREENSHOT WITH TURBO METER AND PLAYER USING TURBO LABELED]

Tapping TURBO several times quickly causes your player to grab and protect
the ball, a move which can often knock defenders away and give you a clean
shot at the basket.

----------------------------------

(19)

TURBO + SHOOT/BLOCK: When your player has the ball near the basket, pressing
these two buttons causes you (and on a one-human team, your computer teammate)
to go for the Jam, slam-dunking the ball into the basket. There are many
spectacular "Ultra-Jams" that can be executed, depending on a number of
factors such as the player's dunking ability and position. Your player will
only Jam if he is moving, however, so be sure to drive towards the hole
if you want to slam!

When your team doesn't have the ball, pressing these two buttons makes your
player go for a super block, jumping much higher than he ordinarily would!

----------------------------------

(20)

TURBO + PASS/STEAL: Pressing these buttons will cause the ball-handler to
execute a much harder and safer pass than the PASS button by itself. Often
these will take the forms of behind-the-back, or bounce passes.

When your player doesn't have the ball, pressing these buttons together
makes your player shove. When he connects, it knocks a player out of the
way. Be careful, because you can knock down your own player, too!
Defensively the shove is a useful tool for stealing the ball, bringing
down rebounds, and stopping "easy Jams"! Offensively, the shove is a
good way to clear an area so a teammate has a clear shot at the basket.

START: START pauses or resumes a game.

easy reference.
