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 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.

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.

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.

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 [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.

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.

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.
