PLAYER GUIDE
How to play Basketball Stars
Basketball Stars gives you movement, jumping, shooting and defending rather than a single jump button. Use Training to learn the range of a shot before entering a random match or tournament.
- Choose One Player, then Training, Random Match or Tournament. The main menu also offers a local two-player mode.
- Use the arrow keys to move and jump, X to shoot or steal, and Down to block or pump.
- Create space before shooting and get between your opponent and the basket when defending.
- Watch the supershot meter and use Z when the game shows that it is ready. Follow the controls screen for the selected mode.
A few useful tips
- Practise a few stationary shots so you can see how distance changes the attempt.
- Move into a useful defensive position instead of repeatedly jumping away from the ball.
