Half-court and Fastbreak

Okay, I am not sure if this has already been asked, but is there an easy way to determine how a player you sign as a free agent or trade from another team will benefit your team? I keep trying to get players that have 3-point abilities, but unfortunately I am still stuck only with a fastbreak strategy. It's getting quite old not being able to do half court, so if any of you know if there is a certain stat or whatever that shows how they will benefit a certain way it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Sorry, this was meant for NBA Live 2004, not 2005. Even still, answers are appreciated.

simple solution: edit your players.dbf file to make them have the ratings you want
