NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION FAQ Revision 2.1 MAY 31, 2000 ATTRIBUTES Each player is rated numerically from 0 to 9 in eight categories. SPEED Overall speed of player DUNK Rates the ability to complete dunks and of what variety 3-POINT Rates the ability to hit from downtown STEAL How well the player strips the ball from opponents BLOCK How well the player block shots POWER Resistance to getting knocked down and ability to knock down other players. CLUTCH How well the player hits at crunch time PASS Speed of pass - the faster, the less chance of getting intercepted IF YOU BEAT ALL 27 TEAMS? After you beat all 27 teams, you will face computer opponents that put NBA ALL-STARS and SPECIAL GUESTS with regular players. You can turn this off and face 'normal' teams by turning the 'TOURNAMENT MODE' on. The difficulty will also increase as you go and the computer actually poses a threat to your precious winning streaks. Also of interest...after beating all 27 teams, ANY opposing team will receive 'QUICK HANDS' and 'MAX POWER'. This really makes things tough! This can also be nullified with the 'TOURNAMENT MODE' SPECIAL CHARACTERS As in the original, there are special characters that you can get by entering specified initials and birthday. When you select these characters, you do not see their attributes. This list has been maintained and updated by Jerry Cattell.

These are done with various Joystick/Button combos. If they do not work for you, keep trying for you may be uncoordinated like me. BIG HEAD Hold Joystick Up and Hold Turbo and Steal Gives you a larger head...and makes you a bit taller HUGE HEAD Hit Shoot 5 Times, then Hold Joystick Up, hold Turbo and Pass This gives you a really big head! TEAM SWAP Hold Pass and Hold Joystick right for 3 seconds- at half-time Allows you to change team at half-time TOURNAMENT MODE Hold Joystick Right and Hold All 3 buttons - At "TONIGHT'S..." Turns off all Special Characters and some powerups Turns off computer assistance. ALT Spin Joystick Clockwise and Tap All buttons - At "TONIGHT'S..." Same as above, but turns on "SHOT % MODE" EXTENDED ROSTER (do this at character selection screen OR at half-time) Hold Pass and spin joystick counterclockwise three times. Release Pass and then tap Pass three more times. Gives you a choice of an extra player on SOME teams. MAX POWER Hold Joystick Down and *simultaneously* press and hold all 3 buttons Down and START. Huge boost to the Power attribute. POWERUP GT (Goaltending that is!) Hit Shoot 24 times! (Very difficult!) Very few goaltending calls BABY-SIZED CHARACTERS Hold Joystick at DOWN/RIGHT Angle and Tap Turbo then Shoot, then Pass, then Turbo, Shoot, Pass, Turbo, Shoot Pass Makes characters really tiny....try it it is pretty weird. QUICK HANDS Hold Joystick down and hit Shoot 5 times and hold on 5th
