set order. Due to the arcade nature of the game, certain aspects of momentum and physics were ignored to encourage faster pace. As a result, an entirely different metagame rose from exploiting those deficits to pull off and defend against spectacular and illogical moves The game has an experience-based leveling system. When a player reaches a certain experience requirement, they will level up and be rewarded with Attribute points. Attribute points are used to improve the character's skills such as running, jumping, dribbling, stealing and passing. During character creation, the three main positions are presented. They are the Center (C), the Forward (F) and the Guard (G). This classification is from level 1 to 15 with different skills depending on player position. At level 15, Guards and Forwards further specialize their position by selecting between Point Guard/Shooting Guard and Small Forward/Power Forward, respectively. Upon position choice, the player is then prompted to choose the name, gender, face type, body type and height of their character. Position, gender and height are the only non-cosmetic factors of character creation. After the player's character is successfully created, the player is immediately taken to the game's basic tutorial.
