How to Play Jordan vs Bird
Quick start
Choose One on One to play Michael Jordan against Larry Bird, or practise their specialties in Slam Dunk and Three-Point contests. In the match, create space before shooting, use fakes to draw a defender, and watch the shot clock. In the contests, learn the timing of the jump and release rather than pressing through the animation.
Controls
D-pad: move the player and aim contest actions. The three face buttons perform context-sensitive basketball actions such as shooting, passing or changing control, and fakes; their function changes between One on One, Slam Dunk, and Three-Point modes. Start pauses. Check the mode’s on-screen prompts before the first attempt because dunk sequences use timed directional and button inputs.
