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.
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.
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.
Go to the settings menu. Then choose "Gameplay" and change the fouls to "0". Then, go to "User" and make everything "100" except "Substitution". Go to "CPU" and set everything to "0". Then, go to "Rules" and make "Foul Outs" "0" and no fouls.
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.
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.
Dunk off backboard
This is best done in practice mode. Line up with the basket and press "Dunk" above or directly below the 3 point line to make the ball bounce off the backboard. Then, run to the basket and press [Y] to jump and dunk the ball. This may require a few attempts.
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.
Player ratings
These are the appropriate labels for players within these ranges:
90-99: Superb. An extremely talented player above the All-Star level.
80-89: Great. A player that can definitely play strong but not considered as superior as others.
70-79: Good. A player who is not too high up in the ranks but can play proficient games.
60-69: Fair. A player just above the average who can usually rack up decent stats.
50-59: Mediocre. An average type of player who has the ability to obtain ordinary stats.
40-49: Poor. A player who can sometimes give an average performance but lacks intensity.
30-39: Bad. An inferior player that cannot contribute excessively.
1-29: Terrible. A player who competes at a horrible level.
Glitch: Ball on top of the backboard
Sometimes when the ball bounces to the top of backboard and goes out of bounds, the team will receive 2 points.
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 created players.
Glitch: Skating effect
Players are usually seen having a "skating" effect on the court while running or walking.
Glitch: Generic shoes
Desmond Mason can only wear generic shoes.
Shaq O'Neal also cannot wear shoes other than generic because Generic 17 and 18 are his signature shoes.
Glitch: Skinny Shaq
Enter edit player mode and adjust any of Shaq's clothing (shoe's, gear, etc.). When you accept to change his gear, he will turn skinny. This is because the maximum weight for a created player is 235 lbs. And his weight is in the 300 column.
