Cheat Mode
Enter one of the following codes at the vs. screen where there are three basketballs before a game begins to activate the corresponding cheat function. The first number represents how many times [X] is pressed. The second number represents how many times [B] is pressed. The third number represents how many times [Y] is pressed. End the code by pressing the D-Pad in any direction. For example, press [X], [B]x2, [Y]x3 and any D-Pad direction to activate code 1 2 3. A message will confirm correct code entry. Note: The codes must be entered quickly and most will not work online. Also, the "Alternate Gear" code will only work after you have unlocked the alternate gear for the player you have selected. Finally, some codes require agreement from both players.
