Substitution: You can substitute any player at anytime, without having to stop the clock. This suggests that the Tecmo programmers were retarded midgets.
Fast Break Time Out: When your opponant is about to ignite the crowd by slamming one home on a fast break, hit select and call time out. You can take a TO without having possession of the ball.
Warning: Wear brass knuckles when attempting this one against another human. Your opponent will immediatly try to beat the shit out of you because you're a fuckin' cheater.
Sir Charles: For some reason, Charles Barkley and his 275 pound tub beer gut is the fastest player in the game. I clocked him at 06.53 in the hundred meter dash. Call Robert Stack about this one.
Reverse Dunk: As your driving to the basket, don't press shoot until you get under the backboard. You will do a two handed reverse dunk. It dosen't help, but it looks pretty cool.
Shot Clock: Contrary to popuilar belief, the little white lines moving around on the top of the backboard is not a programming error, but the time left on the shot clock. I have no fucking clue how to tell how much time is left, until the buzzer sounds and you get a violation. However, if it takes you more than 5 seconds to find an open shot, you should stick to Big Bird's Hide and Seek because you're retarded.
Charlotte Hornets: The most underrated team in the game. Period. Mugsey is almost as quick as the "Round Mound," and rookie Larry Johnson is tough underneath. Kendall Gill and Kenny Gattison are pretty good. Start Rex Chapman at shooting guard and shoot 25 3's a game with him. There's no way you can lose.
Precautions:
1. Do not store this game in places that are very hot or very cold. Never hit it or take it apart.
2. Avoid touching the connectors, and do not get them wet or dirty. Doing so may damage the game.
3. Do not clean with benzine, paint thinner, alcohol, or other such solvents.
3 Point Shots: Here's another Unsolved Mystery. For some reason, certain players make just about every 3 point shot from the top corner. Larry Bird and Reggie Miller do this, which makes you wonder why it's a U.M, since Reggie and Larry are good at shooting 3's. But other players that do this include Glen Rivers (Clippers), Mark Macon (Nuggets), Rex Chapman (Hornets), and Mark Aguire (Pistons), among others. They each make about 75% from the top corner.
T' Wolves: Without a doubt, the shittiest team in all of pro sports (as of 1992). Gerald Glass, Felton Spencer, and Pooh Richardson lead this team of All-Star ass players to the botton of the league. Use this team and you are guaranteed to lose, even against the Nuggets, Mavs, and Magic. This roster so unbelievably crappy that the T' Wolves franchise didn't make the playoffs until 1998.
Pivot: Hold A when you have the ball. You can pivot and find the open man.
More 3 Point Shots: Only shoot 3's from the corners and top of the arc. The best players rarely make a 3 from either wing.
Playbook: Like Tecmo Super Bowl, this game has a playbook for each team. Before the game, you can select four plays from the book, and run them during the game by pressing Start and a direction on the D-Pad. Plays include pick and roll, give and go, high post, and low post. This game is just like the NBA, since no one ever uses the set plays.
20 Second TO: This feature was a fucking waste of space on the memory chip, since 20 second time outs and full time outs do the exact same thing in the game.
Free Throws: When shooting from the line, release the B button when the shooter is at the peak of his jump for best accuracy.
Steals: On defense, rapidly press B for the best chance to steal the ball.
Blocks: Some little shitty white guy is driving the lane. Instead of letting him go by, get in front of him and press B to swat that shit. Always stay on the guy with the ball and you can block alot of shots, even with smaller players.
Rodman: Fucking Dennis Rodman is one of the best offensive players? Trust me, he is.
Season rebounding Stats: I'm positive that during the regular season, the game does not properly keep track of each player's total number of rebounds. I'm telling you this for your own good. When you look at the stats they say you're team averages about 7 rebounds a game, don't get discouraged and smash the cartrige.
Reggie Lewis: This game was made before Reggie Lewis died.
Lenard Bias: This game was made after Lenard Bias died.
Quick 2: When inbounding the ball against the computer, pass it to the guy in the botton corner. Take the shot if he's open. If not, pass to the guy underneath the basket, because he will be open. He can dunk for an easy two points. Works every time.
