Cheat Codes: Hints and Tips for ESPN NBA Basketball for PS2

Easy Assists
When you are playing a game, and you want to get one of your players a lot of assists, or even just a couple do this: When you know who you want to get an assist pass it to him, but when you pass it, hold down on the pass button, he will then become green(his icon) which will represent him as a computer player. Then, with the person you passed him to with will still be you, but you wont have the ball. So get open and press the pass button, the computer will pass to you, and before you start dribbling, shoot. Your player just got an assist if you made it.

1 On 1 Easy Buckets
To get an easy bucket in a game of 1 on 1, (or a 24/7 1 on 1 game) you have to make a bucket the hard way first. Then,when you get the ball back, keep pump faking until your opponent jumps then you can shoot from almost anywhere (BUT BE QUICK TO GET THERE) and make it. You can do this in a regular game as well, but it's harder.

Easy Assist #2
Another way to get an easy assist is have the player you want to get the assist have the ball, then pass to the player you want to get the bucket, but when you pass remember to hold onto the pass button when you do it. So your "Bucket Boy" will be green (his icon under his name) then with the person you passed it to him with, run to the hoop, keep pressing the shoot button to make your "bucket boy" pump fake until his defender jumps, then make him shoot for real, then if he misses, you have your "Assist Man" standing near the hoop to get the rebound, but don't stay in the paint to long, or you'll get a turnover.
