Automatic Freethrows:
If you are dying to practice your freethrows, then do the following: 
Push towards your opponent so you're running at the net and they're stopping you there. 
Now do a quick fade-away and you'll kick them over. 
If you do this correctly then 90% of the time you'll be awarded free-throws! 
NOTE: You will be awarded only one free-throw if you make the fade-away shot and two if you
miss it. 

Better Free Throws:
when shooting a free throw, press up on the control stick a few times to make the line move slower
and create an easy shot. 

Change Player Number:
While choosing your team's playing order, press L or R to change any player's number. 

Fadeaway Shot:
Hold the R button then press and hold the analog control stick away from the basket. Now press the
SHOOT button and release everything when the ball is in the air.
