Dynasty

Dynasty mode is similar to season mode but instead teams compete for the Dynasty trophy. In this mode however, points earned from gameplay in matches can be spent on individual and team training sessions to improve the skill level of your team. Points can also be spent in the 'NBA store' on shoes, jerseys, headbands and socks. These clothing items can then be applied to the players of the team and are seen during gameplay.

One on one

In this mode you go one on one with an opponent in either a gym or street court. Players can edit the number of baskets to win the game.

New Features

The new button layout now allows you to choose when to shoot and when to dunk/layup. The new system improves on previous frustrations with 3 foot jumpers and losing possessions because of unnecessary dunk attempts. The "pro hop" has finally been introduced into the game, and with it the ability to split defenders, or throw an opposing defender off rhythm. Not to be outdone, big men were given the ability to "power dribble," which creates space into the lane for an easier basket. Yet, with the newly improved defense and AI, coming by points is that much more difficult. In addition, freestyle dribbling is no longer an end- all to improving your game, and handling stats actually affect your player's ability to freestyle. Along with the game's new freestyle improvements, the game is bound to grab your attention.
