The 5 best tips for NBA 2k14

In the new NBA 2k14, a lot of controls, options and features have changed. With the following tips, you will also become a top player in this NBA 2k version.

Tip 1: Execute alley-oop dunk in NBA 2k14

In a so-called alley-oop dunk, the player throws the ball towards the basket, lets it bounce back, jumps behind the ball and dunks it in.

• If possible, choose a player whose dunk skills are relatively high. Take a run and jump right after the free throw line.
• Hold both triggers of the controller pressed. If the player is behind the free throw line, hold down the button to darken (usually the X button).

Tip 2: perform 360 dunk

To perform a 360 degree dunk, you simply have to turn the left stick clockwise and press the dunk button during this movement. This is usually stored on "X".

Tip 3: Get money and experience in NBA 2k14

To be successful as quickly as possible, you need money and not too little of it.

• The easiest and fastest way to earn your money is in a quick match. Set the performance to "Maximum" and save the game when there are only a few seconds left to play. Exit the game and play a 1v1 match with one of your players.
• Reload the Quick Match game at a later time, for example after 30 minutes. After the game, your player's skills have improved significantly and your balance increases.
