Hint: See Iverson's tattoos:
To see the tattoos on Iverson's right arm, go to "Edit Players". Then, go to
"Upper Body" and remove the sleeve on his arm.
Hint: Easy shots:
When you are playing one-on-one, you can always hold position of the ball .
When you are going to shoot for position, fake very fast for awhile.
You will start to scoot up to the net . Shoot from wherever desired.
Hint: Easy 100% shooting percentage for team:
Use the following trick for an easy 100% Shooting Percentage For Team
(minimum 20 shots) for 2,500 NBA Store Points. First, create a player
with maxed out stats (Height, Weight, Skills) and make him a PG. Sign
him to your team, re-order your roster so he starts, and choose to play
the Charlotte Bobcats in an exhibition game, under the rookie difficulty
setting.
Use the "Double team" play on defense to steal the ball and create easy
fast break dunks or have your maxed out PG back down the opposing teams
PG for easy buckets in the paint. Make a minimum of twenty consecutive
baskets and end the game without missing a shot. You will then receive
2,500 points towards items in the NBA Store.
Hint: Easy dynasty mode:
Go to the "Edit Players" option under "Team Management" and max out all
the stats of the players on the team that you want to use in dynasty mode.
Save the roster so that you can use it in your dynasty. Go to dynasty mode
and it will load your roster. Your team will have maxed out stats.
Hint: Easy dynasty mode points:
Before you start your dynasty mode, put all of the All-Star caliber players
in one team. Then, simulate through the entire season in dynasty mode to
earn points for unlocking items.
Hint: Increasing player rating in dynasty mode:
This trick requires at least 300 dynasty points to buy a one game coach that
helps the centers, forwards or guards. This may not work for coaches who coach
an entire team.
Then, switch every player on your team to that position. For example, switch
all your players to centers first then buy the big man coach who will raise
your players inside scoring by four. Then, go back and edit your players again
to their correct position except for the centers. Make them a power forward or
something else. Then, re-order your line-up to your liking and simulate one game
(since you bought a one game coach). Go back and edit your centers to their correct
positions. Look at the ratings, and your players should all have had their inside
scoring increased by four. If you have at least 10,000 dynasty points, you can buy
a team plane or new team locker room which raises your FG shooting by four each home
road or home game. To take advantage of this, buy a plane or locker room, start a
game, and look at the rating to see if it went up then quit the game. If you go
player stats and look at the ratings, you should notice your players FG shooting
is up by four.
Hint: Getting great players for low salaries:
When you are in "Sign Free Agents" in the off-season of your franchise and you
see a very good person at a very high price ($300,000), just skip the free agent
signing and get to the new season. When you are done with training camp go to
"Sign Free Agents". If the player that you want is still there, he will usually
ask for the minimum price.
Hint: Dunk packages:
Each player is given a dunk package that determines what types of dunks/lay-ups
they will do. For example, Shaquille O'Neal will do hard dunks while Vince Carter
does aerial dunks.
Hint: Improved gameplay:
Use the following slider settings to keep your gameplay more realistic.
Before the start of the game, switch sides and go in to "Settings", then
"Playbook", then "Team Strategy". Turn "Crash Boards" on, and switch back to
your original team.
This results in a lot less unrealistic amount of fastbreaks.

players might also get an "AAAAAAA" jersey name.
Glitch: No Free Extra Freethrow:
During times when you get fouled and convert a shot, the game will not give you
an extra freethrow when you are supposed to. Instead, you will have a chance to
inbound the ball.

the team will receive 2 points.
Glitch: Injured and a foul shot:
When a player drives to the basket, then gets fouled and injured at the same time, he
will be replaced by another player to shoot hisfreethrows. The player is allowed to
return. In a real NBA game, when another player shoots your freethrows you are not
permitted to re-enter the game.
Glitch: Substitution error:
When a player is about to shoot freethrows, the CPU will substitute players after the
last freethrow and not in-between freethrows.
Glitch: NBA headbands:
You can only give NBA headbands to createdplayers.
Glitch: Skating effect:
Players are usually seen having a "skating" effect on the court while running or walking.
Glitch: Four or five point plays:
Sometimes your player might get fouled and make the shot. Sometimes instead of
letting you shoot the extra free throw, the game will give you the ball back.
You will have another a chance to score another basket.
Glitch: Desmond Mason:
