NPCS AND RANDOM EVENTS

IN THE WILD WORLD OF SPORTS, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. YOU MUST BE ALERT AND DO YOUR BEST WHEN NON PLAYER CHARACTERS GET INVOLVED IN THE GAME

REFEREE

AKA THE ZEBRA

HE TRIES TO MAKE THE GAME A FAIR MATCH, BUT HE CAN GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR SHOTS AND FIGHT MOVES. EASY TO OVERLOOK, THE REF IS A DYNAMIC ELEMENT IN THE GAME AT ALL TIMES.

THE STREAKER

AKA THE NAKED GUY

WHY IS THIS FAN SO CRAZY? HIS LOVE OF THE GAME COMPELS HIM TO RUN AROUND THE FIELD WITH NO CLOTHES ON. BEAT HIM UP OR HE WILL STEAL THE BALL! (COURT AND TURF ONLY)

SPORTS HAM ICE RESURFACER

AKA THE “HAMBO”

IT IS THE HAMBO DRIVER’S JOB TO CLEAN THE ICE. BUT SOMETIMES HE DRIVES ONTO THE ICE DURING THE MATCH BY MISTAKE. WHEN YOU HEAR HIS SPECIAL MUSIC, DON’T GET HAMBOWNED! (ICE ONLY)

THE MARCHING BAND

LET’S GO BAND!

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PLAY AT HALF TIME BUT SOMETIMES THEY GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT THE MUSIC. TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT AND DON’T RUN INTO THEM, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS CAN BE DANGEROUS. (TURF ONLY)

BANANA PEELS

BANANAS MAY BE HEALTHIER THAN HOTDOGS, BUT CARELESS FANS CAN MAKE A MESS. DON’T SLIP UP! (COURT AND TURF ONLY)

HATS

AFTER A HATTRICK, FANS WILL THROW HATS ON TO THE ICE. THEY MAY PRESENT A SLIGHT OBSTACLE TO PLAY. TRY TO COLLECT THEM INTO YOUR LOCKER ROOM.

STADIUM LIGHTS

I HOPE THEY ARE PROPERLY SECURED TO THE CEILING...

SCORING

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO SCORE. MASTER THEM ALL IF YOU CAN.

THE NET – 4 PTS

GUARDED BY THE GOALIE, THIS IS THE HIGHEST SCORING GOAL IN THE GAME. PLAYERS WHO SHOOT FOR THE NET MUST USE TEAMWORK, CUNNING AND SPEED TO SCORE BIG. AIMING SHOTS IS CRITICAL. DON’T FIGHT THE GOALIE!

THE HOOP (SHOOTING) – 3 PTS

PLAYERS WHO CAN SHOOT FOR THE FIELD GOAL HAVE A CHANCE TO SINK A BASKET, IF YOUR AIM IS TRUE AND YOU ARE THE RIGHT CHARGE AND DISTANCE FROM THE HOOP. BUT ONLY THE BASKETBALL PLAYER IS THE TRUE MASTER OF THE RIM.

WHEN USING THE BASKETBALL PLAYER, AIM CAREFULLY TOWARDS THE HOOP AND CHARGE UP THE SHOT FOR ACCURACY. CHARGE TOO LONG HOWEVER, AND HE WILL LOB IT FOR A FIELD GOAL.

THE HOOP (SLAM DUNKING) – 3 PTS

EVERYONE CAN SLAM DUNK! USE TURBO TO GET IN BETWEEN THE DUNK LINES BEFORE THE GOALIE, AND THEN TAP THE “A” (“SHOOT”) BUTTON TO START THE DUNK. ONCE IN THE AIR, TIME THE “A” (“SHOOT”) BUTTON AGAIN TO SINK THE BASKET. EACH PLAYER IS DIFFERENT!

THE UPRIGHTS – 2 PTS

FOR PLAYERS WHO SHOOT FOR THE FIELD GOAL, AIM AND CHARGE ENOUGH TO GET THE BALL BETWEEN THE POSTS FOR AN EASY 2 POINTER, ASSUMING THE OTHER TEAM DOESN’T GET YOU FIRST.

SMALLER ARENAS WILL BE HIGHER SCORING
THE TYPE OF FLOOR WILL ALTER THE PHYSICS. FOR EXAMPLE, ICE IS SLIPPERY.

SEASON MODE GAMEPLAY

MATCHES PLAY OUT SIMILARLY TO “QUICK MATCH” BUT THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES.

TEAM SIDES: YOUR TEAM ALWAYS PLAYS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, AND YOUR OPPONENT IS ALWAYS ON THE RIGHT, EVEN ON AWAY GAMES.
HOME/AWAY GAMES: HOME GAMES WILL BE ON THE STREET BY DEFAULT UNTIL YOU PURCHASE HOME ARENA CUSTOMIZATIONS IN THE SHOP. AWAY GAME ARENAS ARE DICTATED BY THE TEAM YOU PLAY AGAINST. FOR EXAMPLE, THE MOOSERS ALWAYS PLAY ON ICE.
BALL SELECT: ON HOME GAMES YOU CAN CHOOSE THE BALL, IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN ONE TYPE AT THE SHOP. FOR AWAY GAMES, THE ENEMY TEAM CHOOSES THE BALL.
FAN POINTS: AS YOU PLAY YOU WILL GAIN OR LOSE FAN POINTS. SCORING, WINNING FIGHTS, GETTING ASSISTS AND WINNING THE MATCH WILL GRANT POSITIVE FAN POINTS. LOSING POSSESSION OF THE BALL, LETTING THE ENEMY TEAM SCORE AND LOSING THE GAME WILL SUBTRACT FAN POINTS. FOR EVERY 10 FAN POINTS YOU GAIN A NEW FAN AT THE END OF THE MATCH. FOR EVERY -10 FAN POINTS, YOU LOSE A FAN.
GETTING PAID: AT THE END OF THE MATCH YOU GET A CUT OF THE TICKET SALES. THE MORE FANS YOU HAVE, THE MORE TICKETS YOU SELL. YOU CAN ALSO WIN PRIZES FOR EXHIBITION GAMES AND WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
SHADY DEALS: WHAT? THIS ISN’T A PART OF SPORTS!

SEASON ENDINGS

DEPENDING HOW YOU PLAY AND HOW MANY TROPHIES COACH HAS GIVEN YOU, ALONG WITH OTHER FACTORS WILL DETERMINE THE ENDING YOU SEE AFTER THE FINALS. CAN YOU FIND ALL THE ENDINGS? YOUR CHOICES MATTER. AFTER THE ENDING, YOU MAY START A NEW SEASON, KEEPING ALL YOUR MONEY, FANS AND TEAM CUSTOMIZATIONS. IN ORDER TO UNLOCK EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED TO PLAY FOR SEVERAL SEASONS...
