NBA In The Zone '98 — About this game
NBA In The Zone '98 links team basketball with starting-lineup decisions and trades. Exhibition sets up one matchup, while Season leads through a regular schedule into the playoffs; a separate playoff setup lets you choose teams and series length. On the court, passing, pivots, pass fakes and power dribbling with your back to the basket offer different ways to build an attack. Shooting separates the jump from the release, and rebounds require their own timing. Team setup lets you change starters, review player information and exchange players between clubs before taking those decisions onto the floor.
