Introduction --------------------------------- Welcome to my NBA 2K1 Strategy Guide for Sega Dreamcast. NBA 2K is currently the best basketball game on the market because of it's beautiful graphics, great sound, and fantastic gameplay. In this strategy guide of mine, I included all the basic information on the game plus a lot of personal tips. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions feel free to e-mail me at DreThug@hotmail.com --------------------------------- 2. Update History --------------------------------- July 22nd 2001 (version 2.0) - I decided to update a couple of sections to this strategy guide. First off, I added a Legal Information because I had an incident where someone ripped off a lot of my guide and didn't give me any credit. Another thing I added was a lot of more codes that a lot of people were asking for. Oh yeah, I made a NBA Hoopz strategy guide for Dreamcast if anyone is interested in it.

Personal Review --------------------------------- Overall Rating- 9.5 Graphics- 9.5 Sound- 9.7 Control- 9.1 Fresh Factor- 9.4 Game Life- 9.7 The Skinny- Being a huge basketball fan, I was looking forward to NBA 2K1. I was already impressed with what Sega Sports and Visual Concepts did with NBA 2K and I hoped that they would make NBA 2K1 just as good. Luckily, they did and now NBA 2K1 is my favorite basketball game ever. The graphics in NBA 2K1 are fantastic. Each player looks exactly like themselves in real life. Also, each stadium looks exactly like they are suppuse to. In the player introductions, you get to see each player up close. Unlike most sports game, in NBA 2K1 the players eyes move adding more realism to the game. Also, during the game, the bench players are on the bench and the coach is standing up making extremely funny facial expressions. If you thought the graphics in NBA 2K1 were good, wait until you actually play the game. As I listed above in my strategy guide, there are many modes of play. One mode that really appealed to me was the practice mode. I played over a hour with it (straight) just fooling around and practicing shooting threes. Another thing I really liked, was the amount on injuries in the game. If you play a 82 game season, your guys are likely to get injured a lot. In my first 82 game season with the Blazers, I almost never had my five starting players starting because one was always hurt. The only thing that I hate about NBA 2K1 is the glitches. Although they are brused up from the first version of NBA 2K there are still some glitches that need to be fixed. They are so many glitches in the game that can really piss you off. Miss-passes, free throws not even touching the rim and your team mate dunking on them, and deflected passes that hit the ceiling are just a few of the glitches that you will experience in NBA 2K1. Despite that, NBA 2K is still a great game to play. Control-wise, NBA 2K1 is almost flawless. Each player has their own kind of animations. For example, Damon Stoudamire has some sweet-ass layups while Allen Iverson has some beautiful dunks. Also, alley-oops are easy to pull off and are VERY key to win. The only thing I hated about the control was passing. At least three times in a game, your guy will pass it to the wrong guy and it will either be a back court violation or a out of bounds pass. That can really piss off anyone in close games. I never heard as many funny comments from two announcers in my game. The commenatry in NBA 2K1 is excellent. The two announcers make the best comments that I ever heard in my life. One comment that really makes me laugh out loud is "That guy is getting beat like he just stole something." There are many other funny comments but I can't remember exactly how they go. Also, during the game, you can hear your coaches yelling at your players. It's pretty entertaining. The only thing I didn't like about the sound was the game clock. Sometimes it doesn't beep making you look up to see how much time is on the clock. Other than that, the sound in NBA 2K1 is one of the finest, if not finest, in any basketball game. So should you buy NBA 2K1? Hell yeah, even if you don't like playing sports games you should give NBA 2K1 a rent. I got it the first day it came out and I still play it everyday. That means I've been playing NBA 2K for over 6 months straight. If you are looking for a basketball game that you'll fall in love with, go no where else than NBA 2K1. --------------------------------- 6. Offensive Strategy --------------------------------- So you want to play with the big boys? You don't want to get taken to school by your friend who plays this game everyday? Well, then you came to the right place. This strategy works almost 100 percent of the time. It doesn't matter if you're playing the computer or a friend, it works both ways. First off, make sure you pick a team that has a good center. For example, I use the Blazers a lot because they are a well rounded team. When you have the ball, always give it to your point guard. He's usually one of the fastest players and he has the best chance of making a wide open shot. Try not to pass the ball around a lot because if you pass it around a lot, it will soon go out of bounds (Big Glitch). Also, don't always go for dunks and alley oops. Start off the game with a couple of dunks or alley oops so your opponent thinks you're going to do that all game. They will have a lot of guys in the paint so you'll have a wide open three point shot. Alley-oops work almost all the time, except if they have more than one guy guarding you. It's easier to pick up the shot and a foul by going for a layup. If i'm down by three, I will give it to my power foward. I will have his back to the basket and then tap turbo and the spin. That usually will beat the guy who is guarding you and leave you wide open for the layup. When you are shooting the layup, the center will probably foul you. (It works about 95 percent of the time) When this happens, the ball usually goes in the basketball and you get a 3 point opportunity. A cheap way to score, is by taking a good 3 point shooter and shooting for three. Usually, you can tell if the shot is going in or out. If it looks off, change to your center and have him jump up in the air. He will catch it in air, and do an alley oop. It may sound cheap, but it works. If you think the three pointer is going in, still have your center controlled just incase it bounces out. This works about 75 percent of the time. When on the line, always try to make the first free throw and then miss the second one. Try to miss the free throw to the right so you can get your center over there before your opponent does. Right when you shoot the free throw, switch over to your center and move him to the right of the basket and make him jump up. He will always get the rebound then. Well, that was a bit specific of what to do. To narrow it down for you, don't shoot a lot of threes (only when you wide open), go for a lot of layups and jump shots, and do dunks and alley-oops occasionally. If you mix all these elements together, you will win all the time. Trust me, I know, I've been playing this game for a LONG time. --------------------------------- 7. Defensive Strategy Guide --------------------------------- Defense is a key factor in any basketball game. If you're not shooting good in a game, you need to rely on your defense to make sure your opponent isn't shooting good. For my defense section, I have broken it down in to parts for you. --------------------------------- When you're in the backcourt --------------------------------- Say you just scored and you're opponent is taking the ball out. Run over with your point guard before your opponent passes it in. Press one of the back buttons so he's facing the guy with the ball. Get right in front of the player he's going to pass it to. (The guy who's closest to him) Remember there's only two guys in the backcourt and there's two of your guys guarding them. When you think he's going to pass in the ball jump up. This will defect the ball and give you a chance to steal it. Usually, it doesn't work and it goes out of bounds. But sometimes, like 20 percent of the time, your guy gets the ball off the deflect and you have a 1 on 1 opportunity to score. Also, when in the backcourt, try making them so they have to pass it to get pass half court. Have them guarded so they can't go forward. This will make them have to pass it to another player or run backwards. Usually, they will pass it to another player so try to anticipate when they are going to. If you guess correctly, then you will usually steal the ball and have an easy shot at the basket. --------------------------------- When they are going to shoot --------------------------------- Always keep at least one of your players in the paint. Usually, it will be your tallest player but sometimes it isn't. Never double team any player because that will leave another play wide open for the three. Have a good defense by the basket so they will be forced to take jump shots and three pointers. When I play, I usually out rebound my opponents 4 to 1. That's because I make them take long shots and when they miss the shot, I have 2 or 3 guys there to rebound. Don't worry if someone is open by the free throw line, just make sure no one is open behind the three point line. If you follow what I do, they will usually miss half their shots, and you will get rebounds all the time. Also, don't worry about using the coaches strategies like full court press and stuff like that. I found it easier just to set up your own defense. --------------------------------- 8. How To Do Alley-Oops --------------------------------- Alley-Oops are key in NBA 2K1. While they may seem hard to pull off in the beginning, they become very easy to do once you have practiced doing them. To do an alley-oop make sure there is someone near the basket that can dunk. Iy doesn't really matter if there's a person guarding him, but if there's two, don't do it because you'll be called for charging. To do an alley-oop all you need to do is press up on the d-pad and the back button R. They aren't hard to pull off at all, but make sure there's no one in front of you to block the alley-oop. When I'm in defense, and I think my opponent is going to do an alley-oop, I just jump up when I think they are going to throw it up. If I time it correctly, it's a turnover and an easy 2 for me at the other side. --------------------------------- 9. How To Shoot Free Throws --------------------------------- When I first played NBA 2K1 I was so excited that I didn't read the instruction booklet. When I got fouled, I had no idea what to do. I read the instruction book and found out what to do. I really sucked at shooting free throws. After a lot of practice, I mastered free throws and I can nail 90% of them. Here I have listed what you should do to shoot a good free throws. First, you see those two green arrows right? If you press the L and R trigger very slowly at the same time they should move. When they cross over the basket, press X. You should use your two index fingers to control the L and R triggers because then you can tap X easy without shaking the controller by using your thumb. If you are having trouble lining them up you can always start over. You have plenty of time to shoot a free throw. For some good players it is really easy for them to shoot free throws so the arrows move real slow. For some crappy players, the arrows move really fast and its much harder to get the arrows lined up. All you really have to do is press L and R at the same time as slow as you can. Keep your fingers slowly pressed on them and they should line up. If one is off to the side a little that's usually ok. If you are still having trouble shooting free throws feel free to e-mail me. --------------------------------- 10. Did You Notice --------------------------------- After playing NBA 2K1 for countless hours (or make that days) I've noticed many weird things that go on. Here I have listed each, with a description. The African American Guy Did you guys notice the African American Guy that is sometimes in the crowd? For some strange reason, he is standing up in different places in each stadium. In the 76ers stadium, he's standing up and watching the game wearing his nice suit. In the Pistons stadium, it looks like he's blocking where the players go in. I'm wondering what he is. I'm thinking he's a fan but then again he may be a security guard. You never know... The Crowd From The Side Do you see how many people talk about how nice the crowd is? If you ever have the ball, look at them for an angle. You'll see that they are flat and look really crappy from the side. I thought that Dreamcast could fix that up, but I guess not. After the Game You know how the two coaches come and talk to each other at the end of the game? Well, why is one always shaking his head like his team got slaughtered. I think that Visual Concepts should have made it that they would be different facial expressions if the game was a blow-out or a very close game. That's just my opinion. --------------------------------- 11. Glitches --------------------------------- NBA 2K is filled with glitches. Here I have listed each glitch I've notice and a brief description. Bad Passes I bet all of you have noticed about the bad passes in NBA 2K. When you pick who to pass it to, it sometimes passes to another guy way down the court and always goes out of bounds. This happens to me many times in each game and pisses me off a lot. Well in NBA 2K1 this is fixed a little. Still there is a lot of long passes that go out of bounds. Deflections That Go Way Up in the Air Have you noticed when you deflect a ball, sometimes it bounces off the screen and lands on the other side of the court? I never saw that in a real basketball game. The Coolest Glitch Ever My brother was passing it in and I deflected the ball. The ball went in the basket. I got 2 points plus I got to take out the ball. Shaq Glitch (donated by: ksuehr@access995.com) hey i was reading your msg board, if you're looking for another good glitch, i was playing a friend and he had shaq standing out by the free throw line. He just jumped straight up in the air where he was at(still near the free throw line mind you) and slam dunked the ball there and it came out in thebasket. most f'd up thing ive seen in the game so far. If you have any other Real Big glitches please e-mail me at DreThug@hotmail.com --------------------------------- 12. Top 5 Teams --------------------------------- Here are the Top 5 Teams in my opinion for NBA 2K1. 5th Place - Suns Penny Hardaway, Jason Kidd, Tom Gugliotta and Cliff Robinson is a dangerous foursome. This team can basically beat you everywhere it counts. They have speed, three point shooting, rebounding, and everything else you can ask for. This is my favorite team to play with because there is a lot of different things you can do with this great team. 4th Place - Bucks What a surprising team in NBA2K1. Ray Allen is almost unstoppable from anywhere. Sam Cassel can make the shots when he needs to. Basically, the Bucks are a very balanced team that almost always gets the job done. 3rd Place - Lakers The Lakers are rated the best in the game but I feel that they are a bit weak. Yes, Shaquielle O'neal is dominate in the post game but that's about all the Lakers have. Kobe Bryant is underrated in the game by far and Rick Rox is overrated. Rick Fox can hit a few threes in the game but that's about it. Grant and Fisher are basically useless. 2nd Place - Pacers The Pacers are good for one reason and that reason is very key: Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller can hit almost every three pointer he takes if he doesn't have a man in his face. He is also very dominate in driving in. Rebounding for the Pacers is a bit weak but with an explosive player like Miller you don't really need a good rebounding team. 1st Place - Blazers The Blazers are the best team in NBA 2K1. Rasheed Wallace and Sabonis can rebound like crazy and Steve Smith, Scottie Pippen, and Damon Stoudamire are all deadly from behind the arch. Also, if you need some downlow power you can rely on Wallace to get the job done. With a great team like this, you rarely lose. --------------------------------- 13.

Frequently Asked Questions --------------------------------- Here are some questions a lot of people e-mailed me about. By reading this, hopefully it will answer your questions. Question: How old is NBA 2K1? Answer : NBA 2K1 came out in November of 2000. Question: Should I buy NBA 2K1 or NBA Live? Answer : I have both Dreamcast and Playstation 2 and I must say that NBA 2K1 is a lot better. Question: What is the best team to use? Answer : The Blazers Question: Can you play on the net with NBA 2K1? Answer : Yes, sadly the game lags a bit. Question: Basketball season is already over. Should I wait for NBA 2K2 to come out or buy this game? Answer : NBA 2K2 doesn't come out for a while. I would say buy NBA 2K1, finish a season and by that time, NBA 2K2 will probably be coming out. Question: I heard that there are coaches in the game. Is that true? Answer : Yes, each head coach is in the game. Question: I heard that there are retired players in the game. Is that true? Answer : Yes, you can play with a lot of different guys from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Charles Barkley anyone? Question: Are the rosters updated? Answer : Basically, you can download new rosters but I think that the default rosters are basically the same. The only thing that the 76ers are missing is Mutombo. Question: Why did this FAQ take you so long to make? Answer : I apologize for the long inconvience but I was busy with personal business. Questions: How can I contact you for questions? Answer : Feel free to e-mail me at DreThug@hotmail.com --------------------------------- 16. Changes From NBA2K to NBA 2K1 --------------------------------- There are a bit of changes that I have noticed that are in NBA 2K1 that wasn't in NBA 2K. Here I have listed each change with a description. If you know any other changes please e-mail me at: DreThug@hotmail.com. Online Mode The biggest change from the two versions of the game was that NBA 2K1 can go online. With NBA 2K1 not only can you play with your friends at your house and you can play with anyone in the US. There is a bit of lag in the game, but it's still better then nothing. Crossover/Spin The crossover in NBA 2K was the same for each player. In NBA 2K1, each player has a different crossover. The centers usually just do a real slow crossover or just a weird dribble. This also goes with the spin moves because some of the point guards have fast spin moves while a lot of the slower players don't really even spin. This addition was a great addition because it made the game a lot more realistic. Passes Going Out of Bounds Luckily, in NBA 2K1 the chances of throwing the ball out of bounds decreases significantly. It still happens a bit but not as much as it did in NBA 2K which was hampered with that problem. Updated Rosters This is basically a given, but NBA 2K1 features the new rosters. Old Teams In NBA 2K1, there are now Legend teams. You can play teams from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Larry Bird anyone? Allen Iverson In NBA 2K, Allen Iverson was basically unstoppable. Now in NBA 2K1 he's not as big as a threat. Don't get me wrong, he's still one of the best players in the game but he doesn't make all his shots like he did back in NBA 2K. Franchise Mode Now theres a franchise mode for the 2K series. In NBA 2K, there was only a season mode but now theres a franchise mode too. A great addition to a great game. Crowd Movement Now you can wave those little things when your opponent is shooting freethrows which is made to help distract the free throw shooter. A great addition to the game. --------------------------------- 17. Before You E-mail Me --------------------------------- Please don't e-mail me asking stupid questions or I won't respond.
