Throwing a ball [Slam Dunk Contest - PC] - HELP

[Bogusz_2003]

HELP!!

I have a little trouble with this analog sticks. I have the PC version, and I read, I must press crossover/spin button and the arrow. In the 1 on 1 or normal game it's all ok - freestyle is working, but when I play Slam Dunk Contest Mode, I can't throw a ball!! I press this crossover/spin button and... nothing happend... Maybe one of You have the same problem? Or maybe I press the wrong buttons?? I really want to try this alley-oop dunk but how can I toss a ball??????? Please, help!!!

Use the right analogue stick, mate. That'll lob the ball

[Bogusz_2003]

Oh man!! I HAVE THE KEYBOARD!! Give me buttons for keyboard, not gamepad...

I have the same problem, nba live 2005 on the PC, press the relevant button for the alley-oop ... but nothing. Don't worry you arn't the only one with this problem.

[Bogusz_2003]

But maybe is there another way to do this? Maybe we must press a some kind of combination or something?

What, you can't customize the buttons for the dunk contest? Bleh, I hate the default layout EA supplies.

[Bogusz_2003]

We can customize the buttons! But please see this screen and say: WHAT I MUST DO TO THROW A BALL!!!! Click these links: http://bogusz89.w.interia.pl/buttons1.jpg

See this first screen? EA say, I must press CROSSOVER/SPIN BUTTON + MOVEMENT KEY, but it's NOT WORKING IN SLAM DUNK CONTEST!!! In normal game it's ok but in slam dunk not!!! PLEASE HELP!! Ican't win it without these alley-oop dunks!!

I know that a gamepad is recommended, but it could be mandatory for this year's version. All you gotta do is tap your right analog stick in any direction around the three point line to lob it. That's it.

[Bogusz_2003]

What about keyboard? I don't have any analog sticks... Yeah, maybe I go to the shop and buy gamepad?!!?? God, what a mess... EA - &$&^ YOU!!

[[Q]]

maybe you hold the crossover button and push a direction to lob it

[jr06]

I've found these links that might help. It seems that you "can" do it, however you will need to edit some files and the allocated buttons that you need to press arn't in a good location

I KNOW!! I KNOW!! FOR ALL OF U: PRESS CROSSOVER/SPIN BUTTON + OFF-BALL BUTTON !!! IT WORKS!! I CAN DO A ALEY-OOP OF THE BACKBOARD Now, I must only look how to do freestyle moves and will be ok Maybe this copy/paste stuff will work?

[Bogusz_2003]

Hey guys, maybe You know how to throw a ball in jumbotron or camera?

[Steve [The Spiderman]]

stop being cheap, and buy a controller, it is reallly worth it for this game, you miss out on so much if you dont have it

[Bogusz_2003]

Buy a gamepad? Oh man, You don't know the prizes in Poland!!!! This is the most expensive country you've ever seen Our pads with two analog sticks costs (in dollars) 30-70 (I don't think it's cheap... I can buy a ball or nba jersey but not gampead) Thanks, maybe next time Give me some time to practise and maybe I don't crash the keyboard... I have 10 fingers!! And of course I have legs... ;P

But if You know the combination for this alley-oop of the camera etc please write

Bogusz_2003 guess we'll just have to wait for a patch (fingers crossed) so we can do alley's properly.

SAG375 life in Poland isn't like living in the USA, Australia etc etc they are a poorer country in general and things are much more expensive compared to us.

Sorry if i sound like i'm preaching

[Bogusz_2003]

Good words man. But still I can do of-the-backboards etc The rest of alley-oops will wait, maybe I start saving money... (goodbye snickers, lay's, cola and Big Mac XXL )
