During your many Campaign games, you’re bound to come out with double the enemy’s score eventually. Just do your best to steal and block as much as possible. As your score gets ahead of the opposing team, they will become more aggressive.

Like ‘Buzzer beater,’ this one’s easier with two minute quarters. Unlocks: Brad Dougherty, Nick Anderson, Mitch Redmond Double Up - Beat the CPU in a game by doubling their score or better. If he does score some baskets, you’ll just need to score an extra shot to make up for each one. Always have him pass to you or set you up for alley oops. For the points to count, you must personally score the baskets, not your partner. To get 100 points, you really need the quarter length set to five minutes. Century scorer – Score 100 Points in 1 Game. If it makes it through the hoop and causes you to win, you’re all set! Also, you can still get a buzzer beater if the game goes into overtime. Once the last 15-30 seconds of the final quarter nears, hold the ball and avoid the enemy until the timer reaches one second, then throw the ball. To keep your AI partner from scoring points, have him pass you the ball (blue button) whenever he gets it. Every time they score a goal, you need to score your own, and vice versa. The key to setting up a buzzer beater is keeping your score tied or only one point below the opponent's score throughout the entire match. Picking a character with high 2PT and 3PT stats will help too. But this is Achievement takes eight minutes to attempt (four quarters at two minutes each) and is easy to fail, so you might want to hold off until your second Campaign playthrough (when you’ll have mastered the ropes of the game) before you try for it. The ideal time to go for ‘Buzzer beater’ is during the very first Classic Campaign game because the difficulty rises incrementally in subsequent games. Not only that, but the shot must actually cause you to win the game if your score was high enough to win before throwing the ball, it won’t count. A ‘buzzer beater’ is a thrown shot (not a dunk) that goes through the hoop at the end of the fourth quarter after the clock has already hit zero. This is probably the hardest Achievement in the game, but it’s not that bad.

Unlocks: Beastie Boys team, George Gervin, Mark Price Buzzer beater - Hit a Buzzer beater shot to win the game. A character with high DNK, STL, 2PT, and 3PT stats such as the Boston Celtics’ Kevin Garnett will make several Achievements easier. Most of the single-game Achievements are easier to get with Quarter Time set to five minutes, but you can get all but ‘Century Scorer’ with two minute quarters.īecause you’ll have to play a whopping 222 Classic Campaign games to get all of the Classic Campaign Achievements, I recommend going for the single-game Achievements in Classic Campaign mode, not Play Now. For all of the Achievements in this guide, you’ll want the difficulty set to Rookie and Controls to Arcade. These eight Achievements can be earned during single games in either Play Now or Classic Campaign modes.
