A huge bunch of newbie questions

[Muffin]

Hi all and thanks for this great forum

I'm currently struggling with NBA Live 07...
initally a totaly s.ucked but am slowly figuring it out...

A made a huge progress by disabling CPU assistance and ignoring the dunk button (95% of my points are layups and FSS-moves currently)...

1:
Which ain't totaly clear to me currently as i'm a basketball-idiot:
what's the "inside" or "outside" exactly? inside/outside of the lane maybe? and outside till 3p-line?

2:
Than some questions regarding the FS(S):
Is there anything special about the two defence-styles?
Inside-Stopper has the upside-down-slam and sometimes sideways, is there anything else? just "FSS-trigger + z-axis" (=right d-pad, i'm using PPjoy) in any direction and it's automatically adjusted to the situation?

3:
Are there any FSS-moves which need specific mentioning?
The Highflyer and Powerdunks are each pretty much the same, considering their effect (not their animation).
E.g. Faked Powerdunk-to-allyoop or i dunno, can't think of a better example currently...

4:
Allthough i didn't test to many teams, the Heats suited my playing style the most, i guess cuz of wade's & O'neal's FSS to rely on when i can't find/create a gap to the rim...
Any general tips on offence or defence, specifically for this team or on this basis maybe?

5:
Except the "Isolation" quickplay I dont really know what exactly they are doing (offence only), i couldn't really sense a pattern with each while randomly testing during games...


i think i forgot something but whatever...
please don't be tooo anoyed by my basketball-ignorance
and i hope it became clear what i wanted to say regardless of my bad and probably wrong english

thanks&bye

Inside is near the basket
Outside is mid-past 3pt range

2
Basically yea, Inside stoppers can block ppl better and supposedly can steal better from the post, and outside stoppers can steal the ball easily

Not really, the only "specific" issues ive had with a FSS is the fake pass shot one because the release timing is different.

Not really, not too much strategy the PC version, that's for sure. Basically you should just use whoever has the FSS and use them often. Also Andrew updated 07's rosters this year, you can get them on the mainpage in the downloads section www.nba-live.com

No good way to find out the plays really, 06 had a diagram feature that would show you were to move and stuff on the floor, but yea, besides isolation and screen plays not much there either.
