Hint: Cruel push:
If you are playing the CPU or a human player, you canpush them down when they do a super dunk. For example, when youropponent jumps very high to do a dunk, wait for him to come downabout near the rim, then push them. If done correctly, you willpush him down and he will cough up the ball. The CPU will playharder after this is done. If your opponent tries this on you,just do lay-ups instead of super dunks. When you create a playerset your dunk attributes to at least 5 so you will do basic dunksand not risk getting pushed. For greater effect, enable the "Nofouls" code.
