Tips for Beginner Offenses and Defenses:
----------------------------------------
For any beginner, the basics are of utmost importance. As such, here are some simple 
tips for those wanting to get better at both aggressive and defensive play.

For offense, the most important thing to understand is that coverage can hamper your 
game play. Gone are the days of defenders just randomly flying up in your face and 
being able to randomly get a block. Instead, timing is key. Make sure to maximize the 
efficiency of your shots by trying to always find the open player. The more open the 
player is, the better chance their shot has of going in, whether it’s a 3pt shot, or 
a drive through an open lane.

For defense, the most important thing is understanding how to cover your opponent. 
Each player, at the start of the defensive phase, is assigned a man-to-man defense. As 
such, it is your job, depending on who you pick, to defend your man and not let them 
get any open space. Also, time your jumps and block attempts. If you jump, or attempt 
a steal, and miss, you have now given your opponent a large window of opportunity to 
make a play, as you need to recover from your unfortunate mistake.


Locker Codes:
-------------
How to enter Locker Codes?

Follow these simple steps;

* Go to “MyTeam” from the main menu.

* Select the “Locker Codes” option to enter the code.
* The code is not case sensitive, you can enter it all lower case.
* You must include the dashes.

Code: THANKYOUMYTEAMCOMMUNITY
Code: HZ84F-HG82V-WPD76-37AYT-921DW


Useful Tips & Tricks:
---------------------
-=Try Different Camera Perspectives=-
The game’s default camera perspective lets you view the action from the side but if you 
feel that this doesn’t suit you, you can opt for a different setting. You can go to the 
settings and try out different camera settings to find the one that you find most 
comfortable to play with.
 
-=Master The New Shot Meter=-
This game brings a new shot meter which wasn’t there in previous entries in the series. 
This time around, you will be able to see a meter next to the player and to ge tthe best
shot possible, you should let go of the ball when the meter is the highest.

-=Use Bounce Passes=-
There are lots of different kinds of passes in the game that will be of use in different 
situations. However, each of them carries some risks too. The best pass to use early on 
and which comes with low risk is the bounce pass, so make sure you use it when you need 
to pass the ball to a nearby player.

-=Wait For An Opening=-
Don’t always go for shots if it’s going to  end up with you losing possession for the ball. 
Sometimes, the best tactic will be to  just pass the ball to nearby teammates and then wait
for an opening  so that you can get an easier shot.

-=Be Careful With The Turbo Button=-
Don’t always use the Turbo button as it will leave your players exhausted and it also 
prevents you from making those subtle plays that are needed to score points. Use it only
when absolutely necessary and at other times, moving at normal speed is good enough.

-=Start With A Bad Team=-
Apart from the great feeling of bringing the underdog team to victory, it’s also great 
to start with a not-so-great team simply because it will guarantee you a greater amount
of play time which will lead to greater pay, and so on.

-=Indicators Show Whom To Defend Against=-
On most difficulties, the game will provide visual aides which will show you which 
player you’re supposed to focus on when playing defense. Pay attention to these 
indicators to play exactly what’s required of your player’s position in the team.



Getting A Good Teammate Grade:
------------------------------
When playing offense, you should focus on hitting the gym and also on getting a good 
teammate score. Try not to dominate the court, and stick to your  position. This is 
because messing up can lead to you getting a lower teammate  score. Try and learn the 
play style of each player and then only take open shots. You should also learn how to 
play as a part of the team and try to assist your teammates with  screens whenever 
possible. Another important thing to keep in mind is that you shouldn’t over-dribble as
this will lead to a turnover for sure. When a turnover is caused, you should immediately
run  back to defend against the opposing team.

When on defense, the goal is to keep the opposing team from scoring whenever possible. Make 
use of locking on as this will you to stick to a player. However, don’t always do this 
because it won’t be useful in some situations. Any good defensive move such as blocking a
shot or stealing the  ball will boost your  teammate  grade.


How to Scan Your Face:
----------------------
You need the MyNBA2K20 app downloaded onto a compatible iOS and Android device.

* Make sure you’ve set up your MyPLAYER account and connected it to both NBA 2K20 and 
  MyNBA2K20.
* In MyNBA2K20, select “Scan Your Face,” at the bottom of the Profile screen.
* Follow the on-screen prompts.
* Watch your face become one of the most popular in the NBA.


Tips for Scanning Your Face:
----------------------------
Make sure your face is in even lighting from the front with as few shadows as possible.

* This is the single biggest cause of bad scans.
* It can be hard to keep your eyes open in direct light.  If you need to blink, stop 
  moving your head so the app will not take any pictures at that moment.
* Hold the phone at eye level.
* Many people hold it a few inches too low and point it back up.
* Hold the phone around 18” from your face.
* You don’t necessarily need to make your face fill up the outline on the screen.
* Turn your head slowly to a max of 45 degrees.
* Look forward as you turn your head.
* Many people try to stay focused on the phone.
* As you turn your head, make sure you are not just pointing your chin from side to side.
* Many people do this because they are subconsciously trying to keep their eyes on the 
  phone.


MyTeam Mode Tips:
-----------------
Your go-to strategy for staring out with be to pick the starter pack with the most silver 
players. This will help you get an upper hand in matches early on. Secondly, you might want
to keep an eye on the heat check cards.

These are special packs of cards that will quickly rise in value over time, so get them 
as soon as possible. You can then choose to use them for yourself or sell these cards at 
tremendous profits at the Auction House.

Regarding the main currency of the MyTeam Mode, MT coins, they are hard to come by but if 
you get a hand on some, try to save up on it.

Eventually, you will come to a point where you can buy expensive and legendary player cards 
to build a near-perfect version of your team. Spending it quickly will not yield such good 
results, wait for something better.

Patience is key here. We are looking at around 10k MT coins before you can even think of 
spending anything.

Challenges within the MyTeam mode will allow you to get a decent amount of reward tokens 
for not that much of an effort. The difficulty level is not too much either and so it is 
a walk in the park.

You can also try to team up with your friends and carry out these challenges to put the 
fun factor into it as well!


How to Get more fans for the best endorsements (MyCareer):
----------------------------------------------------------
In NBA 2K20, reaching a certain amount of fans will net you some endorsements. The first 
few endorsements provide a one-time endorsement paycheck. Once you reach the upper endorsement 
tiers, you can partner with popular brands to earn a steady stream of VC through appearance 
events. For example, getting the Gatorade endorsement gives you the chance to earn over a 
few hundred or thousands of VC per match, a performance incentive based of your choice, and 
free Gatorade Boosts.

So, how do you get more fans to reach the better endorsements? Simply perform a few highlight 
plays, score some buzzer beaters, play to the fans, earn a triple-double, and get 50 points 
in a single game, among others. You should also consider spicing up your offensive moves so 
you can get over 1,000 fans for each highlight play.


How to Maximize your VC in The Neighborhood:
--------------------------------------------
NBA 2K20 has added a few extra ways you can earn VC fast in NBA 2K20, which actually feel 
like a free-to-play game in nature. For starters, there’s a Daily Spin in the Ante-Up building 
located in The Neighborhood. Spin the wheel on a daily basis for a chance to earn some 
cosmetic items, fans, VC, or others.

There are also Daily Rewards, which require you to accomplish the requirements for the day 
to get the prize. Daily Rewards oftentimes net you either VC or points for breaking your 
attribute cap. Other ways to earn quick VC in The Neighborhood include the trivia or 
dodgeball matches.



Contracts Tips:
---------------
Contracts are probably one of the most confusing and complex parts of the game. They can 
easily feel overwhelming, but a good practice, just like with anything with money, is to 
be frugal.

Really, you don’t have to worry about the cost of individual contracts too much, but it is 
something to keep in mind. What you really need to keep an eye on is your cap space. If you 
go over budget, you can end up losing a key player you didn’t want to lose.

What you really need to pay attention to is the contract length, contract options, and how 
it affects the cap. Sometimes giving a player a max contract can be worth it when they’re 
your franchise player. But, you have to keep in mind if you’re a small market team, you may 
not be able to afford another star player and you’d really have to focus on your system.
 
Team options are always better than player options. Okay, in real life I want players to 
have that freedom, but in this game, I want to decide whether a player stays or leaves. 
The worst thing that can happen is a below average player accepting a player option that 
you didn’t want and as a result, you can’t afford the players you wanted in free agency.

Bird years is a pretty confusing concept, but basically it means you can sign a player 
for over your salary cap if they’ve played for you for over three consecutive years. It’s
 extremely useful if you have a young core and they all came in at the same time. If you 
can hold on to your young core for three years, you can resign them for over your budget 
and then sign some veterans for the minimum to fill out the rest of the roster.


How to Create a Crew:
---------------------
Follow these simple steps:

* After logging into your MyCareer select the “Nav” button (for Xbox this is the “Y” 
  button on your controller).
* Scroll down and select the “CREW” button.
* Once selected a secondary menu will appear. Select “CREATE CREW”.
* Enter a new CREW team name and select “Done”.
* Enter a City Name and select “Done”.
* Enter a CREW Abbreviation and select “Done”.
* Once you have entered a CREW Team Name, City Name, and Abbreviation select “CONTINUE”.
* Use the “CREW COLORS” and “CREW LOGO” options to set up the color and logo styles 
  for your new CREW team.
* Once you have finished setting up the branding of your CREW, exit the screen 
  (for Xbox this can be done by pressing “B” ) and you will be asked if you would 
  like to keep or remove your changes. 
* If you are happy with your CREW brand select “KEEP CHANGES AND EXIT”
* In the navigation menu you have the option to edit your crew jersey and branding 
  should you wish to make additional changes. Do this by following steps 1 and 2, 
  then selecting “EDIT CREW”. 
* Be sure to save all your changes.
 


How to Skip Cutscenes:
----------------------
All you have to do, when a cutscene starts playing that you simply don’t care about watching, 
is to press and hold X on PS4, and A on Xbox One. You’ll see a little X or A button icon 
appear at bottom center of the screen, and a red circle will start to fill around it. Once 
you’ve held down the button for long enough that the red circle is all the way around the 
button prompt, NBA 2K20 will skip the cutscene, and you can carry on playing, rather than 
watching and waiting.



How to Score Points Easily:
---------------------------
* Always remember to substitute players. You can call a timeout by pressing the middle 
button on the Dualshock 4, or the back button on the Xbox One controller, and from here you 
can swap out players that are worn out. Don’t be afraid to swap out one player for another, 
even if the player coming in has a worse overall rating.

* Remember: the pick and roll play is key to scoring reliably. No, it’s not exactly the 
most stylish move in the playbook, but pressing the left bumper and moving a player into 
position is always a great tactic to try and get a step on your defender.

* Release the Bar When the Meter Is Full. Although this may seem like common sense, the 
Shot Meter is a brand new addition to the series so many people may not know about it. 
Release your shot when the meter on the bar next to y our player is full.

* Manage Your Stamina. Remember that the more tired your player is, the more inaccurate 
he will be. Make sure that you do not tire your players out by constantly springing 
everywhere. You can easily just jog onto the opponent’s side of the court sometimes rather 
than waste your energy sprinting.

* Understand Your Team. Another thing that you really need to know about is who the best 
players on your team are. If you are not an avid NBA fan, then it might be good to look 
at the stats of each player to see how they stack up amongst themselves. You can also 
use the Practice Mode to get better at shooting and learn all of the button combinations 
for the moves.


How to Steal the Ball:
----------------------
Whenever you’re on your opponent, on defense, you’re going to first want to get in close 
to them if they have the ball. Then, you simply need to press Square on PS4 or X on Xbox 
One in order to attempt a steal. Keep in mind that your attributes will affect your success
rate at this.

Don’t go mashing the Square or X button, by the way. You’ll leave yourself vulnerable to 
be juked and dunked on. It gives a second of stun on your player and you’re not going to 
be able to do much else if you fail miserably.
