A few questions

I am using the PC version of NBA Live 2008 and i just had a few questions...

first thing... how do you control your shot?

I set W as shoot and whenever i press it i have the same exact shot all the times. It takes forever to shoot and i miss a majority of them... how do i quick shoot or take my time shooting?

Also how do you use your players attributes? I saw they got rid of the superstar but i do see some signature shots by the CPU at times... how do i control that?

Also i remember using PPjoy last year but uninstalled it afterwards as i thought Nba Live 2008 would be different. Do they still use the same exact keys for it and if so can someone tell me where i can redownload PPJoy and what the keys were?

Also how do i make quick passes in this one? Whenever i hold onto the button i just lop it...

Please and thank you!

regarding controlling your shot
Hmm I'm using a controller and I don't know if it makes a difference but...
In one of the settings pages (probably gameplay settings) set the shot control setting to user.

regarding quick passes
I think there are different kinds of passes depending on wether you tap or hold the pass button. The hold button usually does a lob pass so i think that's what happens.

Although as I said im using a generic usb gamepad with analog controls so perhaps a keyboard and a controller could have different err input settings

thanks that did work...

now i have a few more questions:

1. how do you do special passes and stuff? I see Kidd do it but i can't do it w/ Marbury
2. when trading, is there a way to check the salaries while your already in the trade block thing?

I did that superstar passing move from 07 with Iverson in 08 but i really don't know how i did it. I still couldn't get used to the controllers. I think CPU does all superstar moves whenever it decides to. I've stolen the ball like a superstar couple of times also but again i don't know how I did it. No superstar blocking or 3 point shots. Does any one have tutorial or something? 07 had tutorials in the game menu.

yeah i know what ya mean... and they also had the salaries stuff making trade possible

I believe all the special moves such as the fancy passes are automatic/contextual this year.

It doesn't look like we're able to toggle between salaries and the interest bars.

thanks for the response Andrew... i do see the interest bars but i don't see salary

Previously we've been able to toggle between the two but there's no function for that this year. It's gone in the PC issues list.
