Some questions from a newbie

Hello everybody,

I just got the PS2 and the NBA2k9 for virtually no money (I use to play on PC) and I started playing this game this weekend. Could anybody help with the following?:

1. I can't save the modes season or association. Is it the Memory Card (not the official Sony, but another 16Mb one) or a problem that someone has faced before with their games? It saves around 72kb and then says "damaged". In any case, there is no way to save those modes, which kills part of the fun of this game..

2. Is there any way to change players look? Gasol looks like 5 years ago and so do Marquis Daniels, Chris Bosh...

3. Seattle Sonics? Any way to change them into the Thunder?

4. Anybody has a link with the best links for cheats or codes?


Thanks a lot in advance, any help would be awesome...in particular for question #1
