Tips and Hints

Do not hold the ball too long on offense or there's a chance it will be stolen.
Make sure you have a clear path to the basket when dunking the ball to avoid charging.
Avoid shooting low percentage long three-pointers.
Watch the game clock to take last second shots.
When shooting, release the shot button (OK/5 key) at the top of the shooter's jump for the best shot results.
Release the shot button (OK/5 key) when the shot meter is displaying yellow or green. Releasing within the green area will guarantee about 90% success chance of making your shot.
The best player on any team is represented by a star icon for players with 90 or above ratings. Some teams have one or more star players.
Close up auto instant replays are executed after most dunks shot are made by the user.
Shooting the ball with less than 3 seconds on the game clock will reduce game speed significantly to dramatize the action on the final shot.
Shooting while in running motion will allow the shooter to execute a lunging shot.
When passing from out of bounds, you can pass to a specific player by pressing the right soft key to activate CVP passing. This technique is useful for passing down court for the final shot.
The shot meter speed will vary based on the shooter's attribute and distance from basket. As a result, the closer you are to the basket; the slower the shot meter will animate from bottom to top.
The ball handler icons color represents when to attempt a shot. The icons colors are: Red = will miss shot, Yellow = might make or miss the shot, and Green = best time to attempt a shot. Watch the icon color underneath the ball handler to determine the best time to shoot.
