I need help to play this game?

[simo]

I got this game, ive played about 10 matches so ive sought of got the hang of it, but about the only way I can score in the game is
by hitting the hop button then the dunk button pretty much every time I have the ball, also every time I try a jump shot I get blocked, I can never fake a guy out,
Im having trouble trying to get a decent shot off with my centre or power forward when they post up, they always do some retarded shot that missed, This game has very frustrating gameplay.
The guy defending me always bumbs me, I cant even dribble where I want to go, I cant get around guys with ease as the CPU seems to be able to do easily.
Can anyone offer some tips for better gameplay?

Sliders Thread

The reason you're getting blocked so often might be due to the sliders, it can drastically change the gameplay if you get the right slider set.

Hints, Tips and Strategies

That's a pretty useful thread aswell, both have a heap of replies so there's bound to be something in there that'll help. The pro-hop button is something that didn't really get fixed until Live 2005, so that's why it's so easy to score that way.
