All Items In 24/7 Mode
This will allow you to use every item in 24/7 mode without having to go through all the tiers.Cheat Effect "HUNT" as first name and "4TREASURE" as last name All Items In 24/7 Choosing Alternate Jerseys In Season Mode
Although it's never really an option given while your team is in season mode to choose an alternate costume, I've found that it's possible to do so. For example, if I were to choose the Lakers, during the controller choosing screen (where you can set which controllers to play on either the away or home side), set your cursor on the Lakers (assuming that you're using them). Hit R2 twice to get their retro jerseys (it works in both home and away games). Hit L2 twice to get their home white jerseys. This should work for all teams, assuming that you've unlocked the team's retro jerseys.
Refer to the code section of this game to find out how to unlock the codes.
