PUSH DOWN ON THE RIGHT ANALOG TO BACK DOWN!!!

[alexboom]

I really miss that button.

And I miss you from the time you were a Live 2000 patcher

[jmmontoro]

anyone noticed de xgamfcn.cfg file in the ...EA SPORTS\NBA LIVE 06\main\cscripts folder??
well inside there you'll find this paragraphs

bindaction XAXISCHANGE AIACTION_XVALUE
bindaction YAXISCHANGE AIACTION_YVALUE
bindaction RXAXISCHANGE AIACTION_RXVALUE
bindaction RYAXISCHANGE AIACTION_RYVALUE
bindaction XCENTER AIACTION_XCENTER
bindaction YCENTER AIACTION_YCENTER
bindaction ALLCENTER AIACTION_XCENTER AIACTION_YCENTER

ok, so here is what i thought:

bindaction is the name of the action that the controller does when a button is pressed, example, SHOOT, but the code SHOOT its just a guide.
so if we change SHOOT for something else example, FIRE, and in the controller kfg, we put "bind K_key FIRE" it should shoot right? (haven't tried it yet)
so we can create two new bindactions for the r analog stick and/or change the names of the existing ones for better understandig.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN UNTESTED EXAMPLE

bindaction RUP AIACTION_RUP
bindaction RDOWN AIACTION_RDOWN
bindaction RLEFT AIACTION_RLEFT
bindaction RRIGHT AIACTION_RRIGHT

but i think there will be a problem here, i don't know if there are any aiactions named like that.

so that's my idea, maybe something can be done also with the pov actions, but still the same story

i belive that in the ...EA SPORTS\NBA LIVE 06\ai\act folder in one of the files there there should be all the aiactions to edit or use, but there .viv format

sir please let us know if it indeed works.

[Blasphemy]

Sometimes when I back down it says I go to off-ball mode. What does that mean?

[Voyager]

OK here is the solution for the backdown with keyboard
How to do it:
first download and install PPjoy http://www.simtel.net/product.download. ... p?id=75176

then start the program (start - program -> Parallel Port Joystick -> Configure Joysticks)

Press button "Add" and chose Parallel Port: Virtual Joystick, Controller number: Controller 1
(windows will install a virtual joystick in hardware devices just follow the instructions)

Now press button "Mapping" and chose "Set a custom mapping for this controller"

continue and chose everything like written below:

4 Axes, 12 Buttons, 1 POV hats
Axis 1: X Axis,
Axis 2: Y Axis,
Axis 3: Z Axis,
Axis 4: Z Rotation

X Axis: Analog 0,
Y Axis: Analog 1,
Z Axis: Analog 2,
Z Rotation: Analog 3

Button 1: Digital 0 ... Button 12: Digital 11

Direction button POV:
North - Digital 12,
East - Digital 15,
West - Digital 14,
South - Digital 13

Done.

next steps are needed to set it up for live 06:

Now chose PPJoyKey (Start - Program - Parallel Port Joystick - PPJoyKey)

Joystick device: Virtual joystick 1.

Up = Up (Keyboard: up)
Down = Down (Keyboard: down)
Left = Left (Keyboard: left)
Right = Right (Keyboard: right)
Z Axis - = Freestyle move (Keyboard: X)
Z Axis + = Freestyle move (Keyboard: C)
Z Rotation - = Freestyle Crossover/Spinmove (Keyboard: F)
Z Rotation + = Backdown (Keyboard: Y)
Button 1 = seems to be useless
Button 2 = Rebound (Keyboard: E)
Button 3 = Turbo (Keyboard: Spacebar)
Button 4 = Timeout/intentional foul (Keyboard: Q)
Button 5 = Dunk (Keyboard: W)
Button 6 = Pass (Keyboard: S)
Button 7 = Shot (Keyboard: D)
Button 8 = Direct pass (Keyboard: Left Ctrl)
Button 9 = Alley Oop (Keyboard: A)
Button 10 = Superstartrigger (Keyboard: Left Shift)
Button 11 = Off the ball (Keyboard: R)
Button 12 = Pause (Keyboard: ESC)
Button 13 = Quick Plays (Keyboard: 1)
Button 14 = Quick Plays (Keyboard: 2)
Button 15 = Quick Plays (Keyboard: 3)
Button 16 = Quick Plays (Keyboard: 4)

Keyboard: X, C, up, down etc are adjustable, just chose whatever you want (these are my configurations to give you an idea of how it works,so backdown would be key "Y" on my keyboard settings)


Now save the .ini file.

Open your editor/notepad and copy/paste these lines just lower

bind pov0_s PLAYCALL4
bind pov0_n PLAYCALL3
bind pov0_e PLAYCALL2
bind pov0_w PLAYCALL1
bind button1 BACKDOWN
bind button2 TURBO
bind button3 CALLPLAY
bind button4 CROSSOVER
bind button5 PASS
bind button6 SHOOT
bind button7 DIRECTSHOOT
bind button8 FAKE
bind button9 DIRECTPASS
bind button10 DEBUG2
bind button11 PAUSE
bind button12 DEBUG1
bind axis3 RYAXISCHANGE
bind axis2 RXAXISCHANGE
bind axis1 YAXISCHANGE
bind axis0 XAXISCHANGE
ioconfig_mgr_analog 0
ioconfig_mgr_haspov 1
ioconfig_mgr_default 0
ioconfig_mgr_displayname "PPJoy"

save as ppjoy.jfg to your folder ...\NBA Live 06\configs
Start your game and use in configurations Gamepad as controller (chose PPJoy)
Note: dont close ppjoy prog while playing live06 (you can minimize it)
DONE!!! Remember to save a copy of the file also with ini ext for the load every time you open the ppjpoykey program.
Enjoy keyboard !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to press it down to fucking get low to play good defense. If I do that..then when they shoot I can't get to the jump button quick enough. Grr...

[Homer]

[Voyager]

I just found out a problem though. Crossover button is not assigned. Can you do anything about it?

You can repeat procedure againg and set 13 buttons not 12. During configuration assign at button 13 "Digital 12" and finish mapping. Then open ppjoykey and assign to the button 13 the key for crossover/spin move. This is the way I found and the only bad thing is that Playcall 1 is not assigned. I' m trying to find a way to set also this one.

[J@3]

Lol @ the quiet Homer return

[jesusfrancosiles]

Everything worked perfect for me, but the superstar trigger.. it just doesn't work.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter for me, cause i think is the greatest nonsense EA added to this game (and the only reason for all this "backdown mess").

Anyway, any ideas about that? I tried with a 13 buttom and 12 buttom config, and i don't find the way to make it work.

[Drex]

Wow, I see dead-Homers

[prekazi81]

when i add ppjoy to the config file the game doesn't work

[migz15]

can you guys figure out a way to bind in a usb dual joystick the back down button to be assigned into one of the shoulder buttons. thanks.

[BadWolf]

do you have to change the bind... part to?
can you assign crossover to off the ball button ?

[Voyager]

do you have to change the bind... part to?
can you assign crossover to off the ball button ?

Yes you can but you must edit file.ini changing key assignments....
This is a part of ini file:
bind pov0_s PLAYCALL3
bind pov0_n PLAYCALL2
bind pov0_e PLAYCALL1
bind pov0_w PLAYCALL4
bind button1 BACKDOWN
bind button2 TURBO
bind button3 CALLPLAY
bind button4 CROSSOVER
bind button5 PASS
bind button6 SHOOT
bind button7 DIRECTSHOOT
bind button8 FAKE
bind button9 DIRECTPASS
bind button10 DEBUG2
bind button11 PAUSE
bind button12 DEBUG1
Crossover is assigned to button 4 and direct pass to button 9... change this assignment and then with ppjoy edit your best configuration.

My players seem to be stuck in 'back-down' mode. I'm not pushing the right analog on my Logitech controller in the downward direction (my controller resembles that of a PS2). Any idea how to try and re-configure the controller itself? I've tried the config in the game with no help.

[ZetroXen]

Thanks so much Voyager, it really worked perfectly fine for me! Now I'm back to my good old NBA Live Keyboard

[macbit1]

i don´t unterstand why EA change this. Where is the reasons to change this ?????? It is easier to push a trigger as to move around a stick.....and a nice flashback everytime no simple config. for the pads etc....arrhhhh

[Erchamion]

Is there a way to assign back down to a button on your gamepad?

I manually tried to assign RYAXISCHANGE to a button and it works but the only problem is that by default it uses the wrong value(+/-).
It uses Y-up instead of the needed Y-down. Is there a way to change this?

If not, i hope EA Sports will fix this because it means that people with a gamepad but without dual stick cannot play this game because of one tiny setting.

[Erchamion]

People with a gamepad from Logitech can follow all above steps mentioned by Voyager and afterwards all keys used in PPJoyKey can be assigned to their gamepad with the use of the Logitech Profiler software.

Now you can assign backdown to a shoulder button.

In game choose PPJOY as controller and you need to run Logitech Profiler and PPJoyKey in the background.
