Solution to posting up on the keyboard.

[BZ]

Well, I reinstalled NBA Live 06, and tried searching for the thread which shows NBA Live users how to activate the analog function for Keyboard users, therefore enabling "post-up" and other freestyle goodies. I couldn't find the thread... so could anybody who knows how to activate the analog functions for the keyboard please post up the instructions? Thanks.

Also, I find it absurd that the thread wasn't stickied.

It's on the first page of the sticky thread.

Ah, yes, I meant the original thread, didn't know it was also posted in the thread made by Colin as well. Thanks.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

For anyone interested.

Interesting. Does that work with a controller that has no sticks too? Since I think the post up move is done with the sticks, but I have a USB contoller with none.
