Logitech dual action contoller

My control is calibrated and the game recognized it, but i cannot choose teams. i cant even choose sides using the keyboard. can someone please help me.

these are my specs:

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) Windows XP/2000

System Memory 367.9

Processor Speed 3333.4

DirectX Version 9.0c

Display Device ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series

Display Memory 256.0

Display Driver 6.14.10.6698

Sound Device Realtek HD Audio output

Sound Driver 5.10.00.5242

Controller- Logitech Dual Action USB

Use the mouse. Click the arrow to the left or the right of the controller on the screen to control the away or the home team.

I have the same joystick and I played a lot of NBA lives and it never worked, I allways had to use the mouse. It's strange cause when I'm playing other EASPORT games like Fifa or NHL the joystick works fine in the menu.
