Bypassing tough defenders - If you are trying to shoot
and have a top defender on your player [for example, Ben
Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Kobe, Jason Kidd,
Tim Duncan, etc.] and he will not go for a head fake,
take a few dribbles. After that, do another fake and he
will usually go flying. This also can help you draw easy
fouls.
Change players ratings - You can change player ratings
in regular season or franchise mode at any time while
your team is in the playoffs. Just go to Team
Management, then Edit Player. Select a player on 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 change a player's gear any time you desire.
Distract opponent's free throw - When a human opponent
is shooting a free throw, press Square + Left. Your
opponent's controller will begin to vibrate.
Easy fouls - When your opponent is backing you down,
press Taking Charge to get the CPU to foul you.
Easy freethrows - Pause game play, then change the
controller setting to the CPU. Resume game and after the
CPU has shot the freethrow, pause game play again and
change the controller setting back to its original
value.
Easy 3 pointers - On defense, get a good 3 pointer or
even someone that cannot make that many. Then do not
move until it is your ball. In other words, let the
other players do the work. When you get the 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.
Easy dunks - When you get possession of the ball, pass
it to someone who is known to have good dunking
abilities. You can usually tell if they are good dunkers
when they have the icon with a shoe and lightning.
Players such as Jerry Stackhouse, Vince Carter, Kobe
Bryant, and Tracy McGrady are good choices. You also
need to make sure that your player has good dribbling
skills. Move around near the three point line. Do a few
crossovers and spins on your opponent, and he will
usually trip slightly. Then, press Turbo to make a drive
into the basket. Hold Shoot until your player is ready
to dunk the ball.
Easy ball possession - Play a game with all penalties
off. As the CPU has the ball out of bounds, quickly
press Start, and turn Out Of Bounds on. Press Start
again to resume. The CPU will be called out of bounds,
and you will get the ball.
Slower speed - Change the game type to Arcade and select
the desired rules for the game. It has a much slower
game speed and easier control.
Iverson's tattoos - Take the sleeve off his right hand
to see more tattoos that the NBA has banned Iverson from
showing because they consider them inappropriate.
Make Iverson bald with no headband to see two tattoos of
girls kissing.
Dunk from the freethrow line Michael:
Franchise mode All-Star game - In franchise mode, no
player less than 85 in overall rating can be chosen as
an All-Star player in the All-Star game during February.
The CPU randomly picks players who have high ratings and
are on the League Leaders list.
Franchise mode trading - If you want trade for a player
but the team that has him does not want to accept your
offer, simply change the player you want to trade to the
other player's position. Most of the time the team will
accept. For example, if you have a Lakers franchise and
are willing to trade Robert Horry for Ben Wallace but
the Pistons will not accept your offer, change Robert
Horry's position to Center and the Pistons will most
likely accept. Try to do this trick as often as possible
for better trading.
Jordan or Julius Irving - During practice or exhibition
mode select either 90's All-Star Michael Jordan or 80's
All-Star Julius Irving anytime during a game. Get clear
enough to jump from the freethrow line and dunk. Note:
This will not work during a one-on-one game.

Legends - At the main menu, select Team Management and
go to Sign/Release Players. Note: You may have to
release some players before you do this. Press Circle to
get to the free agents side. Press Left or Right and you
will get all the legends. The best rated are Michael
Jordan [99], Wilt Chamberlin [96], and Scottie Pippen
[95].
More players want to sign - If you want more or better
players on your team, win the championship. Players will
ask for longer term deals, but for 300,000 points.
Older players in franchise mode - Be careful when
signing players over the age of 37. Those players
usually retire after one or two years.
Pump fakes - To do a pump fake, simply tap Shoot.
Usually when a defender is near you, he will jump and
try to block your fake. While he is in mid-air, shoot
the ball and about 80% ofthe time it will goes in
because there is no one interfering with your shot. Make
sure you do not try to move after doing a pump fake,
because you will get called for travelling.
Signing free agents - If a player refuses to sign with
your team, try offering him a longer contract.
Sign good free agents when over the salary cap - In the
off season of franchise mode, when you get to the option
to sign free agents, skip over it. Select the option to
trade players. The game will confirm that you want to
skip signing free agents. Answer Yes. If you leave at
least four roster spots open, the CPU will automatically
sign free agents for you on one year, 30,000 point
contracts. The better the year your team has had, the
better the players you will get. Also, the more roster
spots you leave open, the more players you will get.
Shaking the backboard - The backboard and the basket
will shake after doing a slam dunk.
Smaller crowds - If you are playing in franchise mode,
try to stay above .500 in winning percentage. If you go
under .500, most of the time fans will stop going to
your games.
Starting in franchise mode - The first thing you should
do when beginning franchise mode is to release all your
minimum salary [30,000 points] players that have ratings
below 73 to sign other players that have higher ones.
For example, if you have Jannero Pargo in your Lakers
franchise, he has a salary that is 30,000 points with an
overall rating of 72. Release him and sign Tim Hardaway
for the same 30,000 point value. You will get a better
deal because Tim Hardaway has an 80 rating. Try to make
a strong bench line so that when one of your starters
gets injured, a good replacement can fill in for that
person.
Tall dunkers - If a player is taller than seven feet
[for example, Shaq], they will usually dunk the ball
hard on the rim. Even though their dunk rating is 99,
they will not be able to do any slamdunks such as Vince
Carter and Kobe Bryant. |
