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

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.

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. |
