NBA 2K2 TIPS & TRICKS
Do intentional fouls
When you are down by a few points, press L1 + R2 to call the defense to create an intentional foul. Use this as a strategy to try and tie the score to go to overtime, assuming the opponent will miss the free throws.
Free throw interference
When the visiting team has a free throw, push Square before the player shoots to have the crowd wave balloons.
Better crossovers
Throw the ball to your SG, SF, or PG and push Circle. Wait for the dribble to end and then push D-pad + Circle. If the lane is clear, lay it up or do the highlighting dunk.
Play as a Legends team in season mode
Go to season mode and edit the season. Take out any team and put in the Legends team.
