Easy fouls
When your opponent is backing you down, press Taking Charge to get the CPU to foul you.

Easy freethrows
Pause game play, then change the controller setting to the CPU. Resume game and after the CPU has shot the freethrow, pause game play again and change the controller setting back to its original value.

Easy ball possession
Play a game with all penalties off. As the CPU has the ball out of bounds, quickly press Start, and turn "Out Of Bounds" on. Press Start again to resume. The CPU will be called out of bounds, and you will get the ball. Note: This trick only works if you turn out of bounds on when the CPU is out of bounds, with the ball in hand.

Bypassing tough defenders
If you are trying to shoot and have a top defender on your player (for example, Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Kevin Garnett, Kobe, Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan, etc.) and he will not go for a head fake, take a few dribbles. After that, do another fake and he will usually go flying. This also can help you draw easy fouls. Slower speed: Change the game type to "Arcade" and select the desired rules for the game. It has a much slower game speed and easier control
