NBA Fastbreak pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
NBA Fastbreak uses six Trophy tasks to qualify Trophy Multiball and a Championship Ring. Complete baskets, combos, Stadium Goodies, both named Multiballs, and every Power Hoops mode, then start Trophy and prioritize the basket route that wins the required games rather than ordinary points.
The goal
Complete the six Trophy tasks through baskets, combos, concession modes, and the two multiballs. Start Trophy Multiball, win the required games, and value Rings above ordinary points.
Start the opening Tip-Off combo and finish it at the center ramp.
Take clean two- and three-point basket feeds while completing the remaining ramp and orbit combos.
Start each Stadium Goodies mode at the left saucer; finish Pizza, Hot Dog, and Trivia when their feeds are controlled.
Start Shoot Around and Around the World when qualified, using the extra balls to finish their required shots.
- Both multiballs need to be started, but repeated low-value play can wait until the six-task set is close.: Both multiballs need to be started, but repeated low-value play can wait until the six-task set is close.
