Extra points for created player:
Start a game on the 12 minute setting. Allow the CPU to play, then at the end switch over to your created person's team. You will get all the points.
Easy points: Do a pump fake. When the CPU player jumps, drive the ball in for a basket. You can also drive to the basket and pass it out for a well lined up 3 pointer. The CPU players should all scramble to the paint.
Easy blocks: Switch to the player who is guarding the player who has the ball. Do not use R when guarding. Guard as close as you can. When the CPU (or player) jumps to make the shot, press L + R + A. Your player should jump forward and block the ball. This works about 70% to 80% of the time. Note: This requires correct timing.
Slam dunk: Select arcade mode and choose a team. When playing, get close to the basket -- not under but slightly off to the side or front. Press A + Analog-stick Up. If done correctly, you should go around any defenders and make a nice slam dunk.
Alley-oop or slam dunk: When you are in your own zone and you see a player from your team under the net with his hand up, press B to pass to him. Then, immediately and rapidly press A (Shoot) and the player under the net will either do a alley-oop or slam dunk the ball.
Hang on the rim: After dunking the ball, hold X to hang on the rim. Note: If you hang for too long you will get a technical foul.
Spin move: When you have the ball on offense, press L then Y. Your player will dribble the ball and do a spin move at the same time.
Dribble behind back: When you have the ball on offense lightly press L then Y. Your player will dribble the ball behind his back.
