NBA Inside Drive 2000

Bonus teams:
------------
Move the pointer to the lower left corner of the main menu.
Click the hidden button at that location to view the credits.
The High Voltage Volts, Microsoft Testers, High Voltage 2 and
Microsoft 2 teams will be available after the credits have
completed. They may only be accessed by using the scroll bar
at the team selection screen.

GameTips
--------
If you role-play, you'll find the camera angles to be
restrictive at times (they tend to center on the ball
carrier). You'll get the widest view with the sideline
camera.

Role-playing works best if you play as a point guard,
because you'll be in control of the ball most of the
time and can direct the offense with your passes.

To knock the ball free from an opponent, make sure you're
on the side where he's dribbling; if you try to knock the
ball loose from the backside, you'll get called for a
reach-in foul more often than not.

The shoot button acts a little strange at times--sometimes
you have to release the button to shoot, and other times
you have to hold it. Head to the practice court and work
on a variety of shots to get the proper "touch."

If you're playing a good shooter, the fall-away jumper can
be money in the bank. Drive in close to the hoop, then move
away from the hoop as you shoot--you'll swish nearly every
time.

If the opposing team is in a situation where they need to
foul, take control of the ball and weave your way to the
three-point line--odds are, they'll foul you during the
shot and you'll get a chance to sink three free throws.

CheatMode:
----------
Start the game with one of the following command line
parameters to activate the cheat.

Effect Command line parameter
--------------------------------------------------
Easier alley oops - easyalleyoops
Hidden gym court - floor gym
Hidden High Voltage court - floor hvs
Hidden outdoor court - floor outside
Remove spotlights - nospotlights
Skip opening sequence - novideo
Big players - hugeplayers
Small players - miniplayers


No Intro Movie:
---------------
This command line option gets rid of the long movies
that play when ID2000 starts. To do this you will need
to click the Start button in Windows and then click the
run option. Then use the browse button and find your
nba2000.exe file. Then click on the nba2000.exe file
and click the open button. Then all you need to do is
type -novideo after the nba2000.exe in the run command
box. You can also do this through the ID2000 shortcut
on your desktop. To do this simply right-click on the
desktop icon and select properties. Then under the
shortcut tab you will see the full path to the game
and after nba2000.exe just add -novideo. It will
probably look something like c:\program files\microsoft
games\inside drive 2000\nba2000.exe -novideo

Hidden Courts:
--------------
To get the 3 hidden courts do the following. You have to
use the run command in windows and this is a command line
cheat just like the mini players and the alley oops. After
the NBA2000.exe put (-floor gym) without the parenthesis.
That will allow you to play on the gym court. You can also
access the High Voltage parking lot court and the outside
practice court with the -floor command. Simply put
(-floor hvs) or (-floor outside) to get them. So basically
there are 3 courts that you can access by using the -floor
command line option. There is also a construct court and a
software court but they're missing files so they won't work.

Hidden Teams:
-------------
To get to the hidden super teams in the game do the following.
From the main screen move you mouse to the bottom left hand
part of the screen until you mouse highlights. Click there
and you will be brought to the credits screen. Look at the
credits and when you go back in the team select screen you
will see 4 new teams at the end of the slider bar - 2 High
Voltage teams and 2 Microsoft teams. If you play HVS at home
you will play on a cool court in their parking lot!

Easy Alley Oops:
----------------
This relaxes the requirements for alley-oops to occur. It
does not make your receiver cut for the alley-oop, it simply
removes some of the checks to see if he's got a perfect lane
to the hoop open. The way to make this happen is to pass to
a guy who is breaking towards the hoop. To get this cheat to
work place the following command on the run command line right
after the inside drive executable without the quotes "-EasyAlleyOops"

Huge/Mini-Players:
------------------
For mini players or huge players use the following command
line arguments just like the one above without the quotes
"-HugePlayers" or "-MiniPlayers"
