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.

Game Tips

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.

Cheat Mode:

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"
