Easy 100% Team Shooting Percentage
Use the following trick for an easy 100-percent team shooting percentage (minimum 20 shots) for 2,500 NBA Store Points. First, create a player with maxed-out stats (Height, Weight, Skills) and make him a PG. Sign him to your team, re-order your roster so he starts, and choose to play the Charlotte Bobcats in an exhibition game, on the Rookie difficulty setting. Use the Double Team play on defense to steal the ball and create easy fast break dunks or have your maxed out PG back down the opposing teams PG for easy buckets in the paint. Make a minimum of 20 consecutive baskets and end the game without missing a shot. You will then receive 2,500 points toward items in the NBA Store.

Easy Dynasty Mode Points
Before you start 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.

Increasing Player Rating in Dynasty Mode
This trick requires at least 300 dynasty points to buy a one-game coach that helps the centers, forwards, or guards. This may not work for coaches who coach an entire team. Then, switch every player on your team to that position. For example, switch all your players to centers first; then, buy the big man coach who will raise your players inside scoring by four. Then, go back and edit your players again to their correct position, except for the centers. Make them a power forward or something else. Then, re-order your line-up to your liking and simulate one game (since you bought a one-game coach). Go back and edit your centers to their correct positions. Look at the ratings, and your players should all have had their inside scoring increased by four. If you have at least 10,000 dynasty points, you can buy a team plane or new team locker room, which raises your field-goal shooting by four each home road or home game. To take advantage of this, buy a plane or locker room, start a game, and look at the rating to see if it went up. Then, quit the game. If you go to Player Stats and look at the ratings, you should notice that your players' field-goal shooting is up by four.
Dunk Packages

Each player is given a dunk package that determines what types of dunks and lay-ups they will do. For example, Shaquille O'Neal will do hard dunks, while Vince Carter will do aerial dunks.
