Hold L1 and press Square for the gather and Circle for the dunk. For the best result, hold Circle until the ball is at its highest peak.

Before attempting a shot when you are closely guarded, try stepping back to clear space and increase your chances of making the basket. To step back, tap Right Analog-stick Down when you are standing and dribbling the ball. At any point during this move, you can press Shoot to launch your shot. This is also a great move if your player is standing just inside the arc and want to try a 3-pointer instead of a long-range 2.

Start from the half court line. Then, press L1 + R1 and tap Right Analog-stick Up to throw the ball off the shot clock. Then, do a Flip Gather (L1 + R1 + Circle), then tap X.

Toss an Alley Oop and hold L1 + R1 + Circle. This will result in the Flip Gather that appears on the video.

When playing defense, if you have trouble guarding the ball carrier try switching control to one of your big men down low in the paint and ?roam? the key while your CPU teammate does the work up top guarding the ball carrier. This puts you in position to stop penetration easily and force your opponent to shoot from outside. If the big man you choose to control is also a Big Blocker (as indicated by the Hand ICON) he should be able to turn away even the best offensive players with fearsome blocks and in-air collisions. Playing tough defense is your key to victory when playing against the toughest opponents.

When the screen shows the two teams practicing while their records show, press the Start button to have the Home Team be announced.

While you're on the court, playing the game.

When running up to the net, hold R1 then press Square as your gather, and then press Square again.

To do the gather that Darius Miles does in the Advanced video, hold L1 + R1, then rotate the Right Analog-stick clockwise, starting at the bottom.

Hold D-pad Left and press Right Analog-stick Left and rotate it clockwise 360 degrees.

Hold D-pad Left or Right (depending on which side you want to dunk from), then tap Right Analog-stick Up.

Depending on how well it is timed and how long you hold it, you can get your armpit in the rim; also do this with a lob for an automatic 50. Hold L1 and move toward the basket with Square. Then, tap Triangle.
