Basketball Legends: arcade hoops with nothing slowing you down
Basketball Legends throws out everything that makes real basketball slow. There are no fouls to wait through, no free throws and no set plays — just a short court, two baskets, a one-minute clock in a quick match and big-headed players who jump twice their height. You move, jump and press one key to shoot or steal. Get close enough and the shot turns into a dunk; press block at the right moment against an opponent's shot and you swat it away. Every made basket sets off a shout across the screen: three-pointers are 'from downtown', blocks are 'denied', a shot that beats the clock is a 'buzzer beater'.
The twist is the super move, which the game calls the supershot. Every team is a city with three players, and each player carries one of three supers — Fast Break, Mega Dunk or Defence — shown under his picture on the selection screen. A bar fills as the match goes on, and when it is full one key unleashes it. A well-timed super can swing a close game, and saving it for the last few seconds is half the tactics.
There are several ways to play. Quick Match on the main menu puts you straight on court against the computer. Under 1 Player you find Tournament, Random Match and Training. Tournament is a bracket of eight — quarterfinal, semifinal, final — and the game remembers where you got to, so you can continue later. Training is a practice court with no clock. And 2 Players puts a friend on the same keyboard: one on one, two on two, or both of you on the same team against two CPU players. Pick your city, your players and, for the computer, Normal or Hard.
Controls & mechanics
| Action | Control | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Move | Arrow keys or A / D | Double-tap left or right to dash past a defender |
| Jump shot | Up arrow or W | Jump and shoot over a defender; also how you go up for rebounds |
| Shoot / steal | X or L (2P: B and L) | The action key: with the ball it shoots or dunks, without it it steals |
| Pump fake / block | Down arrow or S | With the ball it fakes a shot; on defence it is the block |
| Super move | Z or K (2P: V and K) | Only when the super bar is full: Fast Break, Mega Dunk or Defence |
| Pause | Pause button on screen | Resume, restart or go back to the menu |
Winning more games of Basketball Legends
- Drive for the dunk: Shots close to the rim go in far more often than long jumpers. Dash in and dunk when the lane is open.
- Pump fake, then shoot: The CPU loves to jump at a fake. Fake, wait for it to land, then shoot over it.
- Block on the release: Blocks come from timing. Press Down (or S) just as the shooter goes up, not before.
- Steal from behind: Press shoot next to the ball handler to poke the ball loose, especially as they turn.
- Save the super: A full super bar is worth most in the last seconds of a close game or in overtime.
- Try Hard after Normal: Hard CPUs block far more. Win a Normal tournament first to learn the timing.
