- A - Pass
- B - Steal
- X - Shoot
- Y - Block
- L / R - Switch characters
Characters[]
All characters are split up into premade teams each with their own team name and rival team. While the player can mix and match characters from different teams, the computer players will never do so. In addition, all characters will display these statistics:
- Movement: How quickly the character can move.
- Stealing: How easily the character can steal the ball from other characters.
- Passing: How accurately the character can pass the ball to their teammates.
- Shooting: How accurately the character can shoot the ball.
Using these statistics characters will be grouped into one of five categories based on their strongest stat:
- All-Around: This character character group excels at all stats relatively equally.
- Speedy: Movement
- Tricky: Stealing
- Team Player: Passing
- Offensive: Shooting
