On‐Ball Defense
This attribute affects the player’s ability to guard the ballhandler. When the ballhandler uses
isomotion, this ability is used to determine how well your player reacts to isomotion moves.
Injury Severity
This controls the severity of the injury that happens on the player when an injury takes place
(i.e. out for 1 day, out for 30 days, etc). The higher the slider is, the higher the likelihood of
worse injuries occurring.
Tendencies
Take Close Shots ‐ This slider controls how often your CPU teammates will take Close shots.
Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will take less. This affect the
individual player’s Close Tendency.
Take Mid‐Range Shots ‐ This slider controls how often your CPU teammates will take Mid‐Range
shots. Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will take less. This affect
the individual player’s Midrange Tendency.
Take 3PT Shots ‐ This slider controls how often your CPU teammates will take 3PT shots.
Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will take less. This affects the
individual player’s 3PT Tendency.
Attack the Basket – This slider dictates how often your CPU teammates will attack the basket
for either a layup or dunk. Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will
take less. This affects the individual player’s Drive Tendency.
Finish Strong Inside
This increases or decreases each individual player’s Dunk Tendency rating. Increasing it means
they will try to dunk the ball more often when near the basket.
Look for Post Players
This increases or decreases each individual player’s Back To Basket Tendency. This tendency
tells the player to utilize the post and back down their opponent and use post moves to create
shots.
Use Triple Threat
This slider control each individual player’s Triple Threat Tendency. It affects how often a player
will utilize triple threat moves when they have the ball.
Use Fadeaways
This slider affect each player’s Fadeaway Tendency. Increasing the slider tells the player to take
more fadeaway shots. Online Manual – NBA 2K9
Dunk Contest
How to Dunk
Use the [Left Analog Stick] to move your player around the court.
There are three parts to dunking:
1 ‐ Dunk Gather
2 ‐ In‐Air Style
3 ‐ Dunk Release
Dunk Gather
Begin moving your player towards the basket by using the [Left Analog Stick]. As the
player gets within takeoff distance, move the [Right Analog Stick] in any direction to
begin your gather. The player will then begin to take off towards the basket.
*Dunk gathers require the player to be a certain distance from the rim. If you are too
close or too far when performing a gather, the player will not jump up for the dunk. Pay
attention to the bar at the bottom of the screen for feedback when you fail to perform a
gather and adjust accordingly for your next dunk attempt. Some dunk gathers require
you begin the move farther out from the basket than normal. Play around with
distances to find the best takeoff spot.
In‐Air Style
As soon as the player is performing the gather, quickly move the [Right Analog Stick]
again to perform the In‐Air Style. The In‐Air Style dictates the type of dunk the player
will perform. Simple dunks can be pulled off by just moving the [Right Analog Stick] in a
direction, while other more complex dunks are done by rotating the [Right Analog Stick]
in half or full‐circle motions.
*View the Dunk List to see the different dunk commands available
Dunk Release
To finish off the dunk, you must now time your dunk release. After you have
successfully pulled off the In‐Air Style, you will see a meter appear next to your player
while he is performing the dunk. As the meter begins to fill up, press [RT] to stop it
within the shaded window. If you time it right, the dunk will be successful. If you are
early or late, the dunk will fail.
*The harder the dunks, the smaller the timing window will be. Alley‐oops
For a flashier dunk, you can throw an alley‐oop to yourself. To do so, move your player away
from the basket so that you have enough space to catch the alley‐oop and perform the dunk.
Press [A] to lob the ball for the alley‐oop. As the ball is released, move the [Left Analog Stick] to
run after the ball. Perform the same command for the Gather and In‐Air Style normally to
complete the dunk.
There are various alley‐oop styles available. Move the [Left Analog Stick] in different directions
as you press [A].

Double / Pressure
This screen allows you to set defensive strategies against each player on the opposing team. You can set
the double team strategy and the defensive pressure:
Double Team
Auto – Let the CPU decide when to double team.
Never – Never double team the opposing player at any point in the game.
In the Post – Only double team when the opposing player is in the post.
Always – Opposing player will always be double teamed whenever he has the ball.
Pressure
Auto – Let the CPU decide defensive pressure
Sag Off – Opposing player is given more space by the defender. This is generally used against a
poor outside shooter or a good penetrating guard.
Play Tight – Opposing player is defended closely to prevent easy shots from outside.
Deny Ball – The main goal of the defender is to prevent easy passes from reaching the opposing
player.
Settings Coach Mode – Turn this setting ON to allow the CPU to control all of your players and play the
role of the coach. Using On‐The‐Fly‐Coaching, you can call plays, change strategies, and perform
substitutions.
Timeout – When set to Auto, the CPU will call a timeout for you when needed. Change this
setting to Manual if you would timeouts to be user‐controlled.
Substitution ‐ When set to Auto, the CPU will perform substitutions when needed. Change this
setting to Manual if you would timeouts to be user‐controlled.
Substitution Method ‐ When set to Rotation, substitutions will be made so that players receive
the correct amount of minutes based on the team’s rotation. Fatigue means that players will be
subbed out when their energy drops below a certain limit.
PlayVision – When set to Show All, you will always see court diagrams when a play is called.
Change this to User Plays Only if you only wish to see court diagrams for user‐called plays. Set it
to OFF if you do not wish to see PlayVision.
Who To Guard – The Who To Guard indicator lets you know which opposing player you are
supposed to be guarding on defense. Change this setting to OFF if you do not want to see the
indicator.
Playcall Messages – When set to Show All, an overlay will appear on screen that displays the
name of the play (offense and defense) your team is running. Change this to User Plays Only if
you only wish to see the overlay for user‐called plays.
Offense Playcalling – When set to Manual, the user calls all of the plays on offense. Change this
setting to Auto if you wish to allow the CPU to call plays for you.
Defense Playcalling – When set to Manual, the user calls all of the plays on defense. Change
this setting to Auto if you wish to allow the CPU to call plays for you.
Late Game Fouling – When the game comes down to the wire your team might need to
intentional foul to keep the game within reach. When set to Auto, the CPU will call for an
intentional foul for you when necessary. Change this setting to Manual if you prefer to have
control on intentional fouls.
Coach Profiles
Use the Coach Profile screen to change your team strategy. You can modify the following sliders by
move the [Left Analog Stick] left or right: Offensive Tempo – The slider determines how much time the offense takes before taking a
shot. Some teams for example play in a more up‐tempo where they take more shots per game
and do not use most of the shot clock before shooting (high tempo). Others, on the other hand,
like to set up their plays and take their time (low tempo).
Defensive Pressure – Defensive Pressure dictates how loose or how tight your players should
play their man on defense. 100 means they are playing Tight (as close to their assigned man as
possible) while closer to 0 means they are Sagging Off (creating more space between the player
and their assigned man). When a player is assigned an Auto setting on defense (Coaching ‐>
Double/Pressure), they will use the Defensive Pressure slider setting. Otherwise, the manual
setting will be used instead.
Help Defense – This slider controls how often you want your players to commit to leaving their
man to assist a teammate when the ballhandler clearly has beaten the defender. Increasing this
slider means that you always want your players to help out (downside: leaves their man wide
open for a pass). By decreasing the slider, your players will not provide help and stay with their
man.
Fast Break ‐ Increasing the slider means that you want players running down the court for a
fastbreak. The drawback here is that you will not have as many players to grab the defensive
rebound or box out. Decreasing the slider means that players remain on the same side of the
court (still on defense), and box out if possible to try to get the defensive rebound.
Crash Boards ‐ When the slider is increased, you are telling your players to collapse and attempt
to get the offensive rebound. The more players you have close to the basket when the shot is
taken, the greater your chance in getting an offensive rebound. Decreasing the slider does the
opposite. Your players will immediately take off and get back on defense (not worrying about
grabbing an offensive rebound), preventing the opposing team from fast breaking.
Run Plays ‐ This slider controls how often the team will run a play. Increase the slider if you
would like to run more plays.
Zone Usage – This slider controls how often the team uses zone defense. Increasing the slider
will cause the team to use zone more often. Decreasing the slider means that they will use man‐
to‐man defense more.
Take Close Shots ‐ This slider controls how often your CPU teammates will take Close shots.
Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will take less. This affect the
individual player’s Close Tendency.
Take Mid‐Range Shots ‐ This slider controls how often your CPU teammates will take Mid‐Range
shots. Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will take less. This affect
the individual player’s Midrange Tendency. Take 3PT Shots ‐ This slider controls how often your CPU teammates will take 3PT shots.
Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will take less. This affects the
individual player’s 3PT Tendency.
Attack the Basket – This slider dictates how often your CPU teammates will attack the basket
for either a layup or dunk. Increasing it means they will take more, decreasing means they will
take less. This affects the individual player’s Drive Tendency.
Game Sliders
Game Sliders are global sliders that affect all teams in the game.
Offense
Close Shot Success
This controls the probability of shots going in taken from close range.
*Setting this to 100 does not guarantee that all shots will go in.
Mid‐Range Success
This controls the probability of shots going in taken from mid‐range.
*Setting this to 100 does not guarantee that all shots will go in.
3PT Success
This controls the probability of shots going in taken from 3PT.
*Setting this to 100 does not guarantee that all shots will go in.
Layup Success
This controls the likelihood of layups going in. Increasing the slider increases the chance,
decreasing it lowers the chance.
Dunk Success
This controls the likelihood of dunks going in. Increasing the slider will result in more dunks
being successful. Decreasing lessens the chance.
Dunks in Traffic
A dunk is considered to be ‘in traffic’ if there are defenders nearby. When a dunk is considered
to be in traffic, this slider is used to determine its chance of going in.
* If Dunk Success is set to 0, Dunks in Traffic will be useless. You will not make any dunks at all.
Screen Success
When a teammate sets a screen for the ballhandler, the Screen Success slider determines how
often the defender will be able to get through. Either one of two things can happen: the defender will be screened and will bump into the screener, or the defender will go around the
screener.
Increasing the slider means that screens are successful more often. Decreasing the slider will
result in the defender being screened more often.
Defense
Steal Success
Steal attempts have a much more probability of success when the slider is increased. It will be
more difficult to steal if the slider is decreased.
Help Defense Strength
This slider is used for situations such as where a teammate’s man is driving to the hoop and has
beaten the defender. A nearby player must now leave their man and move to a position in front
of the ballhandler and stop the drive.
Increasing the slider means that help will come faster. Lowering the slider means reaction will
be delayed and help will take longer (defender stays with their man and does not help).
*The slider is also used in any part of the court, not just layups and drives.
Attributes
Attribute sliders are directly tied to the player’s individual attribute ratings. Increasing or decreasing
these sliders will affect the player’s ability in the respected attribute. For instance, if the Stealing
attribute was increased to 100, players will receive a positive boost to their Steal attribute.
Attribute sliders work by increasing/decreasing each player’s attribute rating by a certain amount based
on the value set by the user. When the slider is left at 50 (default), this means that players neither get a
boost or a reduction in their rating.
Stealing
This attribute determines how good the player is at stealing and how successful steal attempts
are with that player.
Blocking
This is the player’s ability at blocking shots.
Ball Handling
This attribute determines how successful the player can be when attempting to execute an
isomotion move. This also affects how well the player is at protecting the ball (i.e. chance of
getting the ball stolen).
Dunking Ability
This attribute is tied to dunk success and the player’s ability to dunk in traffic. Offensive Awareness
This attribute factors into player reaction during various events such as loose balls and double
teams.
Defensive Awareness
Used for help defense when the player picks up the ballhandler to help out a teammate.
Offensive Rebounding
This attribute determines the player’s ability to grab offensive rebounds.
Defensive Rebounding
This attribute determines the player’s ability to grab defensive rebounds.
Clutch Factor
Clutch Factor only kicks in during late game situations. It gives the player a boost in other
attributes late in the game if their Clutch Factor is high enough.
Speed
This attribute controls how fast the player can run at full speed (sprint).
Strength
Strength factors into post offense and post defense. It determines how successful the player
will be when backing someone down.
Stamina
This attribute affects player fatigue rate during a game. Players lose energy during the game
and their Stamina rating controls how fast they lose that energy. Increasing the slider will lower
the rate of fatigue (they don’t get tired as fast). Decreasing it will get them tired quicker.
Durability
This attribute controls the likelihood a player is to get injured during a game. Lowering the
slider makes the player more vulnerable to injury. Increasing the slider lowers or eliminates any
chance of injury.
Vertical
This is the player’s attribute for vertical leaping. It controls how high they can get off the ground
for rebounds, blocks, and jump balls.
Quickness
This affects the player’s agility when moving around the court.
Hustle
Higher Hustle attribute equates to the player more likely to dive for balls (loose balls).
Hands
This affects the player’s ability to catch the ball inside traffic. Use Hookshots
This slider affect each player’s Hook Shot Tendency. Increasing the slider tells the player to take
more hook shots.
Attempt Putbacks
This slider affect each player’s Putback Tendency. Increasing the slider tells the player to quickly
attempt to tip the ball, or a putback (dunk or layup), after getting an offensive rebound.
Throw Flashy Passes
This slider affect each player’s Flashy Pass Tendency. Increasing the slider means that players
will throw more flashy passes.
Commit Fouls
This slider affects how often you would see a foul in game (shooting, reaching, charge, etc.)
Increasing the slider will increase the chances of a foul being called is higher.
Play Passing Lanes
This slider affect each player’s Pass Interception Tendency. Increasing the slider means that the
player will take more chances in attempting a steal by playing the passing lane. They will jump
at the ball more often when they are near the passing lane.
Go For On‐Ball Steals
This slider affect each player’s On‐Ball Steal Tendency. Increasing the slider means that the
player will swipe at the ball more often. This has a downside, however, as you are more likely to
be called for reaching fouls.
Contest Shots
This slider affect each player’s Contested Shot Tendency. Increasing the slider means that the
player will jump up to challenge a shot more often. The downside to this is that you can get
called for more shooting fouls.
Use Sizeup Moves
This slider is mostly for CPU player. It controls how much in between the leg dribbles (fancy
dribbles) players will perform when standing idle. You might see this on user‐controlled players
as well, but not as often.
Game Controls
Double Teaming
While playing on‐ball defense, you can call a teammate to double team the ballhandler by pressing or
holding [LB]. When you press or hold [LB], a teammate will begin moving towards the ballhandler for
the double team. You can cancel out of the double team at any point by pressing [LB] again or releasing [LB] (if it was a
hold) ‐‐ this will cause the teammate to return back to his assigned man. Use this to your advantage by
faking to show a double team in certain situations. 作者: danfishes 时间: 2008-12-19 15:15:50
