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. 

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 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.

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. 

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.

Change players ratings
----------------------
You can change player ratings in 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.

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.

Glitch: Extra time
------------------
Start a game and at the end of the quarter, keep the ball. You will have four or 
five more seconds to play around or shoot.
