- The character in the game suddenly starts clapping instead of passing the ball.
- Player Wrapping - A character in the game suddenly falls down on the floor, but gets up the same way he falls and is the first to lead.
- Dunks that are not counted - Some of the dunks that are undertaken by players are not counted.
- Loose balls warping - Sometimes while dribbling even if the player looses the ball it comes straight back to him.
