setting plays in the PC version

When I assign plays to the dpad-buttons and then press the buttons ingame the default plays (isolation, box, pick&roll, basket cut) still come up in the game. I can't run playsets! Anybody else having this problem, anybody with an explanation/solution?

It's really annoying that we can't preview the plays. Can't run them all without knowing how the play works.

has nobody had any problems with setting plays in the pc version??

can somebody confirm being able to change the standard plays and using them in the game with the d-pad....

i use the d-pad for quickplays and am able to change them; take a look at some of my previous posts:

I figured it out... at least for my gamepad, which is a adapted PS2 for PC
I went to Control Panel » Gamepads » Properties and changed from 6-Axis mode to Left Stick mode.

That will make the D-Pad buttons 13,14,15,16 when the analog is turned on, so they will no longer be considered Axis buttons.

It's a whole new game now......
