Hi, I'm EG. I'm a 20-year-old college student who has been playing the Live series since 95. Anyway, I've been posting at the nba-live.com boards for a few years and I've decided to start posting here. Here's an updated version of the Freestyle guide that I posted over there.
FACE-UP TRIPLE THREAT
Switch to post-up position: Tap up
Fake to left: Tap left
Fake to right: Tap right
Palm ball away from defender: Hold Down
Hold ball between legs: Hold diagonal up-left OR diagonal up-right
Circle ball down across legs: Roll right to up OR left to up
Circle ball down and hold in front of legs: Roll right to up OR left to up and hold.
Step back and hold ball down: Roll left to down and hold
Step in and hold ball up: Roll right to down and hold
Step-back and dribble: Tap down
(You can drive out of most any of these positions by using the left stick)
POST-UP POSITION
Switch to face-up position: Tap up
Protect ball overhead (hold with two hands): Hold up
Palm ball out away from defender (hold with one hand)r: Hold down
Turn to left shoulder: Hold right
Turn to right shoulder: Hold left
(You can drive out of most of these positions by holding the left analog stick. Except for the two hand hold, for some reason you cannot drive out of it.)
STANDING DRIBBLING (assuming ball is in right hand)
Fake drive: Tap up
Cradle: Tap right
Step back: Tap down
Dribble between legs: Tap left
(By immediately tapping in the other direction you can do this again the other direction)
Dribble between legs to left hand cradle: Hold left
Cradle to dribble between legs to left hand cradle: Tap right, hold left
Normal crossover: Roll up to left
Cradle to normal crossover: Roll right to up to left
Cradle to normal crossover to left hand cradle: Roll right to up to left and hold
Behind-the-back dribble: Roll down to left
Behind-the-back to left hand dribble: Roll down to left (this can also be repeated by rolling the opposite direction immediately)
Behind-the-back to left hand cradle: Roll down to left and hold
Cradle to behind-the-back to left hand dribble: Roll right to down to left
Cradle to behind-the-back to left hand cradle: Roll right to down to left and hold
RUNNING DRIBBLING (Assuming ball is in right hand)
Normal Spin: Tap up
Cradle to Spin: Hold up
Same-hand tight spin: Roll up to right
(Note: This move can only be performed by certain players, I'm not sure what determines it but for the most part it seems like the Dribbling Rating has to be in the 90's and quickness has to be high)
Step back: Tap down
Cradle ball: Right
Cradle to fake crossover: Tap right, right
Normal crossover: Roll up to left
Cradle to normal crossover: Roll right to up to left
Between-the-legs crossover: Left
Cradle to between the legs crossover: Tap right, left
Behind-the-back crossover: Roll down to left
Cradle to behind-the-back crossover: Roll right to down to left
I think that's everything...if anybody notices anything else just say so. Especially any player-specific special moves as I have yet to find any.

EDIT - Changed the note about the tight spin and added an additional spin move that was mentioned below by BlueDevilsFan, thanks.
