Help with playbook/strategy and spin moves

[crazydiamond]

Hey all,

I just got NBA Live 08 for PS2 used, without the manual. The last time I played an NBA live game was 99 back when it first came out...I am guessing that the plays, strategies, sets, etc. were at one time explained in an earlier version, but there's no diagrams or animations or anything to explain how they work, and I'm a player who likes to play games strategically and use plays in sports games. I know what some are like obvious things like a pick n roll (although I don't know how to control who will do the pick n roll with me, or who I will man-up in a box-and-one defense), but some plays have esoteric names like Rocket Fuel and I can't even imagine.

On a simpler note, I don't know how to do a spin move on offense either.

Can anybody help out?? Thanks!!

~~Peace, Rob

You can execute a spin move by pressing up on the right analog stick.

I believe some play diagrams have been posted before, failing that your best bet might be to look them up on YouTube for a demonstration of how to run them. The lack of animated play diagrams is definitely a disappointment in the more recent releases.
