Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — Screenshot taken in the pre-rotating cylinder era In the US version of the game, the player can choose a three-player team from a selection of ten city-based teams in the United States. In the European and Japanese versions of the game, the cities are replaced with countries around the world. The selection screens, player skin colours and costumes also change between the versions. The teams have 18 points in several characteristics (dunk, 3pts, speed, and defense), and 8pts max for each. Every team has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, New York (USA in the JP/EU version) is good in dunks and bad in 3-pointers. On the other hand, Philadelphia (Taiwan in JP/EU version) is good in 3-pointers and bad in dunks.
