Use the following trick if you are having problems because the CPU steals the ball too much, or fouls you to take the ball. To steal the ball easily, hold White (defensive side step) and stay with your opponent while repeatedly pressing X until you steal the ball. If you are tired of the CPU always pushing, set the fouls to "On" in the game rules menu. When the CPU fouls you, you can go to the line to shoot your foul shots.
