Instructions
Welcome to WoodyWare's Big League BasketBall! Below is a few
instructions and hints that will hopefully make your playing time enjoyable.
Big League Basketball (BLB) attempts to simulate as closely as
possible a 'standard' basketball game. In the game you will find such things
as shot rejections, technical fouls, 3-pointers, various offensive and
defensive fouls, Ansi sound effects, and more surprises.
At the beginning of the game it will send you a ansi music string.
If you heard it over your modem select Y (note: telecommunications programs
such as Qmodem and Telix support AnsiMusic). If not be SURE to select N .
Next is the main menu. Here you will be able to read these
instructions, See current scores (if your sysop has registered this program),
Play a game of basketball or Quit back to the BBS.
BLB is divided into 2 halves of play. Each half is 8 minutes long;
or if you have between 6 and 19 minutes online the program will adjust your
halves by the amount of time you have left. Less than 9 minutes remaining and
you'll have to play later! The score is displayed after all major play.
The main part of the program when playing is represented by:
[Press ? for Help] Selection:
Here, you will be able to select what shot to attempt, change defense or other
functions. Briefly, they are:
? - Online help. This should be the FIRST thing you do!
1-4 - Type of shot you want to attempt
D - New defensive alingment
1-4 - New Defense selection
Q - Quit Back to BBS. IF YOU QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME YOU LOSE!
S - See Scoreboard
I - Read these instructions.
The above are pretty much self explanatory. I hope you enjoy your
game of BIG LEAGUE BASKETBALL!
HINTS
* Don't get discouraged if you find yourself 10-15 points down. Don't
panic and go for the Tres. I've been 20 points down and come back and
won by 10. Conversely, I've been 15 points ahead and lost by 5 so don't
get too cockey :)
* Your team has better field and foul shooting. Your opponent has better
rebounding and an 'ill tempered' coach and players that get them into
technical fouls more than you.
* 3-pointers are harder to hit. Going for the layups will draw lots of fouls
which is to your advantage since you have a good free throwing team.
* Take time to think what you want to do; don't just start hitting numbers
randomly.
* If you're getting too far behind be sure to switch your defense by pressing
D then selecting your new defense.
* If the opposing team is behind near the end of the game it will do
everything possible to win :)
