Hint: Easy 3 pointers:
Do a pump fake. When the CPU player jumps, drive the ball in for a basket. You can also drive to the basket and pass it out for a well lined up 3 pointer. The CPU players should all scramble to the paint.

Take control the player that you want to use to make a 3 pointer. Once he has the ball, walk in front 3-point line then lightly press Control-stick Down. If your player walks backward behind the 3-point line, shoot the ball and it should go in. This works 90% of the time. If your player has a higher 3-point accuracy, he should make it almost all the time. Note: This requires some practice.

Hint: Easy points:
Do a pump fake. When the CPU player jumps, drive the ball in for a basket. You can also drive to the basket and pass it out for a well lined up 3 pointer. The CPU players should all scramble to the paint.

Hint: Easy blocks:
Switch to the player who is guarding the player who has the ball. Do not use R when guarding. Guard as close as you can. When the CPU (or player) jumps to make the shot, press L + R + A. Your player should jump forward and block the ball. This works about 70% to 80% of the time. Note: This requires timing.

Hint: Slam dunk:
Select arcade mode and choose a team. When playing, get close to the basket -- not under but slightly off to the side or front. Press A + Analog-stick Up. If done correctly, you should go around any defenders and make an awesome slam dunk.

Get enough speed to go to the net, then press A to slam dunk. If you get the rebound from the other side, you can get enough speed to slam dunk. You can also see if somebody is on the other side of the court and hold L for a long range pass to the person at the net. This will allow you to do a Alley-oop. Your player will go high in the air.

Hint: Hang on the rim:
Hold X after dunking the ball to hang on the rim. Note: If you hang for too long you will get a technical foul.

Hint: Alley-oop or slam dunk:
When you are in your own zone and you see a player from your team under the net with his hand up, press B to pass to him. Then, immediately and rapidly press A (Shoot) and the player under the net will either do a alley-oop or slam dunk the ball.

Hint: Spin move:
When you have the ball on offense, press L then Y. Your player will dribble the ball and do a spin move at the same time.

Hint: Dribble behind back:
When you have the ball on offense lightly press L then Y. Your player will dribble the ball behind his back.

Hint: More points for created player:
Start a game on the 12 minute setting. Allow the CPU to play, then at the end switch over to your created person's team. You will get all the points.
