Trading
When in a tournament or franchise, do not trade in that trade in the home screen. The teams will not take your players, but in the home screen they will take anything.
Easy backcourt violations
After you have scored, stand in front of the man holding the ball and he will not move, or move very slowly. Keep standing in front of him and move along with him to make the other team get a backcourt violation.
