Hint: Easy fouls:
When your opponent is backing you down, press TakingCharge to get the CPU to foul you.

Hint: Easy freethrows:
Pause game play, then change the controller settingto the CPU. Resume game and after the CPU has shot the freethrow,pause game play again and change the controller setting back toits original value.

Hint: Easy 3 pointers:
On defense, get a good 3 pointer or even someone thatcannot make that many. Then do not move until it is your ball.In other words, let the other players do the work. When you getthe ball, pass it to that person. Do not use turbo or any tricks.Just shoot a 3 pointer close up and he will make it.

Hint: Easy dunks:
When you get possession of the ball, pass it to someonewho is known to have good dunking abilities. You can usually tellif they are good dunkers when they have the icon with a shoe andlightning. Players such as Jerry Stackhouse, Vince Carter, KobeBryant, and Tracy McGrady are good choices. You also need to makesure that your player has good dribbling skills. Move around nearthe three point line. Do a few crossovers and spins on your opponent,and he will usually trip slightly. Then, press Turbo tomake a drive into the basket. Hold Shoot until your playeris ready to dunk the ball.

Hint: Pump fakes:
To do a pump fake, simply tap Shoot. Usuallywhen a defender is near you, he will jump and try to block yourfake. While he is in mid-air, shoot the ball and about 80% ofthe time it will goes in because there is no one interfering withyour shot. Make sure you do not try to move after doing a pumpfake, because you will get called for traveling.

Hint: Easy ball possession:
Play a game with all penalties off. As the CPU hasthe ball out of bounds, quickly press Start, and turn "OutOf Bounds" on. Press Start again to resume. The CPUwill be called out of bounds, and you will get the ball. Note:This trick only works if you turn out of bounds on when the CPUis out of bounds, with the ball in hand.

Hint: Bypassing tough defenders:
If you are trying to shoot and have a top defenderon your player (for example, Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett,Kobe, Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan, etc.) and he will not go for a headfake, take a few dribbles. After that, do another fake and hewill usually go flying. This also can help you draw easy fouls.

Hint: Slower speed:
Change the game type to "Arcade" and selectthe desired rules for the game. It has a much slower game speedand easier control.

Hint: Iverson's tattoos:
Take the sleeve off his right hand to see more tattoosthat the NBA has banned Iverson from showing because they considerthem inappropriate.

Make Iverson bald with no headband to see two tattoos of girlskissing.

Hint: Change players ratings:
You can change player ratings in franchise mode atany time while your team is in the playoffs. Just go to "TeamManagement", then "Edit Player". Select a playeron your team and you will be able to choose the "Ratings"option. You can now change that player's ratings in any way desired.You cannot do this during the regular season. You can also changea player's gear any time you desire (for example, socks, armbands,etc.)

Hint: Tall dunkers:
If a player is taller than seven feet (for example,Shaq or Yao Ming), they will usually dunk the ball hard on therim. Even though their dunk rating is 99, they will not be ableto do any slam dunks such as Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant.

Hint: Dunk from the freethrow line MichaelJordan or Julius Irving:
During practice or exhibition mode select either 90'sAll-Star Michael Jordan or 80's All-Star Julius Irving anytimeduring a game. Get clear enough to jump from the freethrow lineand dunk. Note: This will not work during a one-on-one game.

Hint: Shaking the backboard:
The backboard and the basket will shake after doinga slam dunk.

Hint: Smaller crowds:
If you are playing in franchise mode, try to stay above.500 in winning percentage. If you go under .500, most of thetime fans will stop going to your games.

Hint: Older players in franchise mode:
Be careful when signing players over the age of 37.Those players usually retire after one or two years.

Hint: Signing free agents:
If a player refuses to sign with your team, try offeringhim a longer contract.

Hint: More players want to sign:
If you want more or better players on your team, winthe championship. Players will ask for longer term deals, butfor 300,000 points.
