In practice mode, remember when you could press Select and view the moves list on the bottom of the screen? 2K decided to replace that with Hot Zones. Now, it is a pain in the rear to go back and forth from the pause menu to the game. I know there is a pictorial control list already on here, but I decided to make them a lot more legible without having to load pictures and go through all the hassle. I am pretty much finished, but let me start with what I have and I will organize it with edits. Lets make this easy.
