Cheat
menu: Enter the options menu and select "Gameplay". Hold D-pad
Left + LeftAnalog-stick Right and press Start. The
"Codes" selection will now be unlocked at the options menu.
Bonus
teams: Enter MEGASTARS as a case-sensitive code to unlock the
Sega Sports, Visual Concepts, and Team 2K2 in exhibition and street modes.
Quicker
instant replay: Hold R1 + R2 + L1 + L2 to do an
instant replay without going to the menu.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Turn off fouls and goaltending
then just keep blocking them and there will be no foul.
Set the difficulty to rookie
then steal the ball and keep shooting three pointers.
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.
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.
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.
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: Go to the active players section and find the 80's All-Stars. The
West 80's team will have two players who are not active. They are Bernard
King and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Take out any player(s) and trade them in for
one or both of them.
