Anybody using it and what are some of the thing you do with it?

I think its great; used to use it on PS1 NBA Live which I preferred to PS2.

I think it's a great innovation, much better than the old hold-pass-to-retain-control (though you can still do that) system. Off-Ball Freestyle is great too. (Y)

What's this you guys are talking about?

If you hold R3, you can switch to any other player leaving the CPU to control the player with the ball. You can then get into position and call for the pass, or call for the player with the ball to attempt a shot. There's also off-ball freestyle that allows you to set picks or spin around defenders before calling for a pass.

Oh, wow, thanks for telling me Andrew.

No problem. It's quite a handy feature.

I've never tried to use it. Does it make it easier for users to score against the computer?

It can. You still have to get into good position and call for the pass at the right time.

with the right analog stick push it in and down--then the icons come up and you choose which player to pick--then control him.

It's a nice little feature, i like playing around with it. try it. :wink:

One of the great adantages is calling a play after you have switched to a man without the ball. It can be a play to put you in position for a pass, or you can call a Pick play and move in position for the rebound, causing the computer ballhandler to shoot when you are in position.

There are so many variation you can do with this feature, I hope you guys will list what you discover and create with this feature.

Another feature I use is a double pick. Call a pick play and bring the man you are controlling over to throw another pick freeing up the computer ballhandler for a open jumpshot or drive to the basket for a dunk or layup :cool:
