A: A game mode in ESPN NBA BASKETBALL where you create your own character and build up his skills.

Q: What different grades are there and how can you get them? A: If you score 21 points in a game, then S=0, A=1-5, B=6-11, C=12-18 D=19+ F=Lose, if you make 22 points in a game, then itÕs one lower for each. Q: What happens when you beat it? A: You really understand the basketball game so much more. It also lets you stay away for a long time and you don't lose your stats. Q: What is the highest rank points you can achieve?

Where the players guard you very well, start at the top of the 3pt line and run to the left to the top left corner of the key as you yourself look at it, then run straight across the free throw line to the other side of the line, and once there run straight down the key line, once you complete that you are right there running to get an easy dunk or lay-up. -Bomb Ball Tips- If they ever score on you wait till the timer is exactly 4.0 seconds and launch a three. If you do it right, they will catch the rebound and it will explode soon after causing them to lose a point. Another tip is to never get a rebound unless itÕs absolutely necessary. -Open Shots- In the beginning game places, you can fake most ballers out with the pump fake, and get a wide open three, by slightly tapping the Square button, then while they coming down shoot the three. Be careful while doing this to often or against the harder ballers, as they can steal it from you. -Once you beat the final Boss, your attributes will never deteriorate, you can play him once you reach 2900 rank points. -----------C-R-E-D-I-T-S-------------- Special Thanks: To the VC crew for making the best looking Basketball game out there, the Sega Crew for publishing it, and all the great nba stars who without them there would just be people with numbers running around.
