- 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 :)
