playing solo game
Focus on Team game rather than on solo game:
This version of NBA has come with penalties for playing solo game like annoying player penalty for the one who holds ball for unreasonable duration. Thus, it is better to play the game with a team spirit and not just like an individual. Don’t forget that a good team player grade is always better than a bad grade with highest of scores.
