Hint: Intentional fouls:
When you are down by a few points, press L1 + R2 to call the defense to create an intentional foul. Use this as a strategy to try and tie the score to go to overtime, assuming the opponent will miss the free throws.

Hint: Easy three pointers:
Choose Allen Iverson and go to the left side of the court near the corner. If a defender is checking you, upfake. When he flies away trying to block your shot, shoot the three pointer. The release must be excellent. After shooting two or three of them, he will become hot.

Get R. Miller (Pacers), Iverson (Sixers), Vince Carter or Glen Rice (NY) on your team. Three pointers should go in 95% of the time.

Choose N. Howard for your team. He is a free agent that is great three point shooter, especially from the center of the arc.
Demann777.

Some of the best three point shooters are free agents such as N. Howard, Q. Wood, and G. Grant. Some of the lowest rated players can shoot better than the highest.
Mightytoaster91.

Hint: Easy two points:
Select Allen Iverson as your starting point guard for the Philadelphia 76ers. Go to the top of the key, just below the 3-point line and above the free-throw line half circle. Make one crossover (no turbo) and shoot. It will always go n if you have perfect release.
Vinh Pham.

Hint: Easy win:
Turn off fouling in the NBA rules section of the options menu. Use the intentional foul to make the other team drop the ball, pick it up, score, and repeat as needed.
Paul Foreman.

Turn off fouls and goaltending then just keep blocking them and there will be no foul.
vincent pena.

Set the difficulty to rookie then steal the ball and keep shooting three pointers.
Mjshaq2334.

Hint: Easy dunk:
To do the Vince Carter dunk (under the legs) on a break away, control Stackhouse, Bryant, Carter, Macgrady, or any other good player. Hold R1 (Turbo) and go up for a dunk. You will make it most of the time.
David Forsmark.

When you have a good dribbler such as Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, and others, press Square to crossover a defender then hold the side you are crossing over from. Go to the goal for an easy dunk.

Hint: Free throw interference:
When the visiting team has a free throw, press Square before the player shoots to have the crowd wave balloons.

Hint: Better crossovers:
Throw the ball to your SG, SF, or PG and press Circle. Wait for the dribble to end and then press D-pad + Circle. If the lane is clear, lay it up or do a highlighting dunk.

Hint: Half or full court shot:
Have one player stand behind a basket, then take the ball and go farther than half court. Pass the ball to the player behind the basket and it will usually go in.
JoJoCrowley535.

Hint: Shooting excellent:
Give the ball to a fine shooter such as Iverson, Bryant, Mcgrady, etc. When you are shooting count to two and release Square. It will most likely go in, but you have to be open or you will get capped.
brandon leach.

Hint: Play as a Legends team in season mode:
Go to season mode and edit the season. Take out any team and put in the Legends team.

Hint: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bernard King:
