On Fire: In NBA Live 97, players can be On Fire in both offensive
and defensive play.

     When a player is hot in offensive play, the filled control circle
begins  to  fade  from  the  normal color to black and back again. The
player  will  get  On  Fire in offensive play if you shoot consecutive
baskets  with  this player, and if he's On Fire, he'll shoot, jump and
dunk much better.
     When  a  player  is  hot  in defensive play, the unfilled control
circle  begins  to fade from the normal color to black and back again.
The  player will get On Fire in defensive play if you make consecutive
blocks  and  steals with this player, and if he's On Fire, he'll block
and steal much better.

     Fatigue:  When  you  have  the  Fatigue Option turned on, you can
determine  the  players' current fatigue status during gameplay by the
color  of the control circle. The darker the color, the more tired the
player. By monitoring this, you can easily determine when it's time to
substitute a player.
