their stats to the assigned player’s stats.

CONTROLLER
Access the Controller Assign screen to switch control from
one team to the other or to allow newcomers to join the
game in progress. This screen works similarly to the Team
Select screen. (See Team Select screen on p. 8.)
OPTIONS
(See Options on p. 44.)
TIMEOUT
Both teams begin the game with six Timeouts. Take a
Timeout when your team is fatigued, you need to strategize,
or when your opponent has too much momentum.
• You may take a Timeout only when your team has
possession of the ball. When you are on defense, this
option is not available.
SUBSTITUTIONS
You have five players in the game and seven on the bench
at all times. There are countless reasons to send in a
substitute: when your star player is in foul trouble, you’re
down late in the game and want your best shooters on the
floor, or simply to rest a tired player.
