NBA Live Demo Controls Thread

[Pared]

Just thought I'd throw this up here for now. We can change it once the game drops.

Let's share all the moves you've been able to pull off.

The right thumbstick controls your dribble. Here's a template of how we can discuss this:

Pressing ______ (all moves are absolute; down is always down) will make your player ______.

Off the top of my head:

Hold Up on Right Stick will make your player spin (while moving).
Pressing down will make your player crossover behind the back (stationary).

Feel free to add to the list as you find things out. Player specific moves are welcome.

All of these quickstrike moves (and the post moves) are included in the "What's New?" section of the demo, FYI.

The only things that I didn't see listed are the fast AI-style dribbles which you do by just tapping up, lef/right, or down repeatedly.. your player will get low and do quick dribbles (up is front cross, left/right is regular, and down is behind the back). You can chain these with the other moves... kind of lull the defender with the quick taps and then RT + RS and blow past them on an anklebreaker.

OOOOO the dribble moves are absolute... well that explains a lot.

I believe holding up to start a spin and then quickly doing a half circle to down does the half spin

[Stumbleweed]

Just tap down on the R-stick in a rhythmic fashion... there are 3 speeds I think... If you do the regular one, he'll be standing upright, but the other 2 speeds he hunches down. Just stand around with Pierce in the practice gym and tap down (or up) repeatedly and you'll see it start. You have to time it fairly right to make it look smoother and continuous, but it's not too hard. The right-to-left-to-right motion is tougher to keep up at that speed for me.

Yes the game manual said that a quarter-circle (from up to left or right) does the half-spin. It's all in the manual... someone should load up the demo and post the full list for those who can't look or haven't noticed the moves list... Post moves are in there also. I can do that tonight if nobody else does.
