DEMO DEMO
------------
INTRODUCTION
------------
This is a demonstration copy of Nothing But Net! Pro League Basketball. This
demo allows you to play a basketball game between two teams only. One team
is computer controlled [c] and the other is controlled by you [h]. You can
make all coaching decisions that are available in the full game version. You
can not develop personnel, set up leagues, draft players, develop team play-
books, or use the stats compiler. These options are available only in the
full game version. If you enter the Pro Personnel, Pro Setup, Pro Draft, Pro
Playbook, or Pro Stats modules, you will be able to view a game screen of
each module as it may appear during play. To exit the module, press any key.
At the end of this demo is an order form that may be printed out for those
interested in ordering Nothing But Net! Pro League Basketball. Or call
Strategic Gaming Designs at 1-919-552-1807 to order by VISA or MasterCard.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
You need an IBM or compatible computer with at least 640 KB RAM (a 386SX or
greater is recommended). You also need a VGA display, a mouse, a high-
density floppy drive and a hard drive.
INSTALLATION
____________
To install the demo to your hard drive, place the diskette in your high
density floppy drive and at the C> prompt type: a:install [ENTER]. If you
are using the B drive type: b:install [ENTER]. Follow the on screen
instructions.
TO START
--------
To start the Nothing But Net! demo, type: nbn [ENTER] while in the directory
to which you installed the demo. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY LOADED YOUR
MOUSE DRIVER.
PRO BASKETBALL
--------------
This is the only functioning module in this demo. You may only choose two
teams to play a game. To start Pro Basketball click with the left mouse
button on the Pro Basktball box on the main screen. This will take you to the
Pre-Game Screen.
The Pre-Game screen is where you choose the teams to play a basketball game,
set starting lineups, and set starting offensive and defensive assignments.
Most of this information is pre-set from the Pro Playbook module, which you
do not have access to. But, you may make any adjustments you like at this
point and also during the game by either calling a time-out or by making a
coaching decision. As you will notice, the computer coach will set its
starting lineups and assignments also.
There are three types of input interfaces: buttons, pads, and scroll windows.
A button appears three dimensional or round. A pad appears flat. You may
click on either of these. Usually, these light up or become highlighted in
some way if they are active. Scroll windows are active when there is
information in the window.
After you complete setting your lineup and starting assignments, select the
COMPLETED button and then the PLAY GAME button. This will take you to the
Game screen. Here the options menu will appear and you may set game speed,
graphics, and sound. The FAST PLAY button allows for the fastest possible
game. When ready, select RETURN to start the basketball simulation.
During the game you may either call a time-out, substitute players or lineups,
or set assignments from the bench by selecting the appropriate buttons. The
table below lists the keystrokes necessary to select these coaching options.

You will run into many abbreviations during game play. Most are self
explanatory, but the most important are listed below. In regards to
ratings, most player ratings are from 1-7. The higher the rating the
better the player is at that skill.

The FF rating is used to determine when a player needs rest. When a player's
CM (consecutive minutes played) is equal to his FF then the player is getting
tired. The longer he plays beyond his CM, the more tired he will become.
At the end of the simulation, you will be taken to the post game screen where
you can view the game statistics. You may also print out these stats.
