PUT YOURSELF IN
THE GAME
So, you say it’s not enough just to control the guys running up
and down the court. And, you’re not satisfied with the power to
hire, fire, or trade players at whim. What you really want is to
see yourself on the hardwood. Done.
To create a player and add him to a team
1. On the Main Menu, select General Manager.
(A player created this way is available in Practice,
Single Game, and Playoffs modes. Note that your
player does not earn additional skill points in
Playoffs mode.)
-or-
On the Main Menu, select Season. Follow the prompts
until you reach the Off Season menu or the League
Home menu, and then select Front Office. (A player
created this way is available only in the season in
which he was created.)
2. Select Create Player.
3. Use the Left or Right Trigger to cycle through the
available options.
4. Press the Black or White button to change the
color of accessories.
5. Save your player, and add him to a team.
6. On the General Manager menu,
select Edit Rosters.
7. Select your created player (who
currently is inactive), and then
select the active player with
whom you want to switch.
Setting a Skill Level
In addition to customizing your player’s background info and
physical appearance, you also can determine his ball-playing
skills. If you set the player’s style to Custom, you can use a
point bank to improve his attributes however you like.
If you change your player’s style, his attributes are
adjusted accordingly.
When adjusting custom
attributes, notice that not
all skills are equal. The
number of basketballs
and the color associated
with a skill indicate
how important—and
expensive—that skill is.
Be sure to watch the
point bank at the top of
the screen to see how
many points you have to distribute.
Note that when you leave this screen, your
player’s attributes are fixed. You are
able to increase these settings
after you earn additional
skill points.
