Bonus teams:
Enter MEGASTARS as a case-sensitive code to unlock the Sega Sports, Visual Concepts, and Team 2K2 in exhibition and street modes.
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.
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.
Free throw interference:
When the visiting team has a free throw, press Square before the player shoots to have the crowd wave balloons.
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.
