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.

Dunk from the freethrow 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 freethrow line and dunk. Note: This will not work during a one-on-one game.

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 ball possession

Play a game with all penalties off. As the CPU has the ball out of bounds, quickly press [Star, 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 "C-stick Up" and run into the player. It should be a foul, and he will usually lose the ball for you to pick up.

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 [Shoo 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.

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.
