The first thing you'll notice after enduring the audio assault of the theme music is that the graphics are more refined than what we saw last year.

Before a game begins you pick eight offensive plays from a group of 30 scoring formations, including isolations, post plays, and three- point set-ups. These plays are called as you're dribbling down the court by pressing different directions on the Control Pad. It takes practice to become familiar with how these plays work, but it's worthwhile when you school a friend on the court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3 Point Shootout mode is an entertaining addition to the 1998 version, where you and three friends can compete to see who has the golden touch. Other modes include Exhibition, Season, Playoffs and All-Star Game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA faster game pace and the addition of offensive formations make NBA In The Zone '99 a much better Pak than its predecessor.
