How to Play

Welcome to NBA AirPlay Live! An exciting new game that allows you to play along while watching your favorite NBA games.

There are 3 easy steps to getting started:

  1. Select the game you wish to play from the game menu.
  2. Select the players you want in your 5 man roster to start the game.
  3. Turn on the TV to watch the game you selected and to play along with NBA AirPlay Live!
Starting the Game

To begin, enter the schedule by selecting 'Play Live' and select the game you wish to play. You can enter a game anytime after the scheduled start time. To start playing you must setup your roster consisting of one franchise player and four other players.

  • First, select 'Play' on the Game Menu.
  • Next, select a franchise player from the two available players. A franchise player is typically the best all-around player for each team.
  • Now select four other players by selecting a player slot and then choosing any player from the player list.
  • Once your players are selected, submit your roster to make it live and begin play.
  • Once a roster is submitted, substitutions will have a 30 second processing period.
  • Don't forget to set your PLUS1 player!
Your roster is now set and you are ready to play. At the beginning of each quarter your roster will be automatically set with the roster you finished with in the previous quarter. Overtime quarters will be treated as part of the 4th quarter.

Scoring

Once your roster is live and the NBA game has begun, the players in your roster will begin receiving points for the following actions in the live game:

Shot Made:+2
Free Throw:+1
Rebound:+1
3 Pointer:+3
Assist+1
Missed Shot:-1

Bonus Moves:

Dunk:+5
Blocks:+3
Steals:+3

Setting your PLUS1 player

Get more bonus points by picking someone to be a PLUS1 player. In your My Roster screen simply highlight a player and then press the 'PLUS1' button. It will take 30 seconds for your player to become the active PLUS1 player, shown by a solid red total score box. The PLUS1 feature is reset each quarter.

You can only choose each player once per quarter, but you may choose as many different players as you'd like.

Once selected, this player will receive an extra 1 point bonus whenever he scores a point.

Making Substitutions

Substitutions can be made at any time during the game, but will take at least 30 seconds to process and be in effect. To make a substitution simply select the player on your roster that you want to sub out with the center/OK button on your directional pad (D-pad).

Once you have made your selection, you will be brought to a Player List screen that displays the other available players you can choose from. The Player List screen lists the available players in descending order of their average points per game (apg) each player earns in the NBA AirPlay Live game.

To choose a sub, highlight a player and hit either the D-pad center button or the Select button to select that player and begin the substitution process. The substitution will take effect in 30 seconds.

Leaderboard (Game Ranking) features

In the game score header your opponent's score is defaulted to show your group leader's score. If you are the leader in your group, then the 2nd place player's score will be displayed. You may change the view of the opponent to target anyone in your leaderboard by simply highlighting an opponent and then selecting the 'Target' button. You may change your 'Target' as often as you wish. To go back to the default select your currently targeted opponent and select the 'Reset' soft key.

When you select to target another player, they will see an eyeball icon next to your name on the leaderboard. If someone has selected you as their opponent, an eyeball icon will appear next to their name in your leaderboard.

Win the Game

While each quarter is a distinct competition, you will also be competing with everyone that is in your group in the 4th quarter for the overall game title. Top 3 finishers for the quarter and total game will win AirPlay bonus points bonuses. During the end of a quarter or game, you will be able to view your ranking against everyone in all the different groups watching your NBA game.

AirPlay Points

Your points during the game help you gain AirPlay Points which increase your ranking and status within the AirPlay community. Visit www.airplay.com to see your current AirPlay Points balance and check the leaderboards to see where you stack up!
