Cheat Codes/Hints
Cause Human Opponent to Miss a Free Throw
When you are playing a real-life opponent, and they are about to shoot a free throw, rapidly tap [] and your opponent's controller will vibrate. If you time this well they may be caught off guard and press X at a wrong time. Keep in mind that your opponent will probably catch on after a couple of tries and no longer miss. Also, this may not be very successful on easier difficulties, where a free throw is extremely easy to make.

Hint: 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.
Hint: Change players ratings
You can change player ratings in regular season or franchise mode at any time while your team is in the playoffs. Just go to "Team Management", then "Edit Player". Select a player on your team and you will be able to choose the "Ratings" option. You can now change that player's ratings in any way desired. You cannot do this during the regular season. You can also change a player's gear any time you desire (for example, socks, armbands, etc.)
Hint: Custom start menu
Switch players from team to team, then save the roster. Restart the game then load the roster. At the start menu, on the right hand side you will see the players like Jordon, Kidd, etc. Watch closely when they appear. You will see that they have changed uniforms from what they were to the team that you have traded them to.
