I just bought this game for my 12 year old son. Unfortunately, the manual did not come with the game. Can someone please point me a site where the manual is in PDF form so that I may learn the controls? Or, just list me the basic controls in this forum. Thanks!

Re: Help a Newbie Out
I made some community tips for NBA Live 09. This should help you out with the basic controls and moves.
Hey guys and girls what's up, Part 1 of my blog will be about hints and tips for NBA Live 09. Lets start with the basics of Quick-Strike Ball Handling.
Quick Strike Stationary Moves:
Without Holding Right Trigger:
-Flick Up = Crossover
-Flick Right = Inside Out Move to the Right
-Flick Left = Inside Out Move to the Left
-Flick Down = Behind The Back Move
-Flick Up to Right or Up to Left in Continued Motion = Half Spin
-Flick Right to Left or Left to Right = Crossover Between the Legs
-Hold Up = Spin Move
-Hold Right = Hesitation Move to the Right
-Hold Left = Hesitation Move to the Left
-Hold Down = Step Back Move
Holding Right Trigger:
-Flick Up = Crossover in Front Big Hesitation Set-Up Move
-Flick Right = Inside Out Big Hesitation Set-Up Move to the Right
-Flick Left = Inside Out Big Hesitation Set-Up Move to the Left
-Flick Down = Behind the Back Big Hesitation Set-Up Move
-Hold Up = Spin
-Hold Right = Big Hesitation Set-Up Move to the Right
-Hold Left = Big Hesitation Set-Up Move to the Left
-Hold Down = Step Back Big Hesitation Set-Up Move
Now that you have learned the basic moves go out and break some ankles.
Lets go to the Pick and Roll Control and how to use it.
Pick and Roll Control:
-First to Activate Pick and Roll Control Hold the Left Trigger
Now the options of Pick and Roll Control:
Slipping to the Basket:
-Before you move the ball-carrier deactivate Pick and Roll Control, then the screener will slip to the basket.
Rolling to the Basket:
-Start moving your ball-carrier around the screen and deactivate Pick and Roll Control before the meter fills up to the half way line to have the screener roll to the hoop.
Popping High For A Jump Shot:
-Start moving your ball-carrier around the screen and deactivate Pick and Roll Control after the meter fills up past the half way line to have the screener pop high for a jump shot.
Now that you learn some basic moves and options for your
offense, here are some tips when you are playing the game.
Control The Tempo:
-Control the tempo, play the way you want to play and know what team uses your kind of tempo. Also you want to use your team's strength to help you.
Shot the Mid-Range Shot:
-Use the mid-range shot, it is going to help you out. Don't just fire up tons of three's and don't try to drive in all the time. It can help you balance out your offense and confuse the defense because you will have different shots available to you.
Play Calling:
-Use the play calling system, you have eight different plays that you can use to set-up your offense and if you do not want to look through the plays, press the Y button, it will call a quick play for you.
Well that's it for now, until next time.
