Tips and tricks
- Timing beats power. Almost every sports game has a "sweet spot" input; find it in practice mode before you play for real.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
- Because this is a Basketball game, release at the top of the jump.
