LA LAKERS Specialty:
When you play as Kobey Bryant keep passing the ball to him and take him all
the way to the opposing team's 3-Point Line. Shoot from the centre part. You
will score at least 93% of how many you take.
When you play as Chaq pass the ball to him and make him dunk. He will never miss
and never be fouled while dunking.
Easy free throws:
Pause game play, then change the controller setting to the CPU. Resume game
and after the CPU has shot the free-throw, 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.
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% of the 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 traveling.
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 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. Note: This
trick only works if you turn out of bounds on when the CPU is out of bounds,
with the ball in hand.
Hold the Right "Freestyle" and your player with raise his hands. This works
better with tall players. Hold the Right Analog-stick Up and run into the
player. It should be a foul, and he will usually lose the ball for you to pick
up.
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.
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.
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 (for example, socks, armbands, etc.)
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 slam dunks such as Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant.
Dunk from the free-throw line Michael 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 free-throw line and dunk. Note: This will not work during a
one-on-one game.
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.
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 Chamberlain (96), and
Scottie Pippen (95).
Note: These players will only sign for three years; save your money for them.
Older players in franchise mode:
Be careful when signing players over the age of 37. Those players usually
retire after one or two years.
Signing free agents:
If a player refuses to sign with your team, try offering him a longer
contract.
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.
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.
