freestyle problems

[live2003sucks]

i cant use freestyle using my keyboard. is this happening to everyone or just me?

Unfortunately, playing NBA Live 2003 with your keyboard won't express freestyle moves as much as playing the game with an Analog PC controller like Firestorm or Gravis pad.

You can only do the standstill freestyle moves.
sucks!

I believe they mentioned prior to the release that users need a dual analog controller to experience the full freestyle arsenal.

Buy a dual analog pad, then you will be able to enjoy the freestyle moves.

hey is it really worth the money to buy one?..like is the game THAT much better being able to do the freestyle moves on the move?
right now i can still get past ppl doing it from standstill..

which analog pad u guys recommend?

I am surprised that you can do any moves from the keyboard. For that matter that you can play the game at all from the keyboard. Much respect to your skill on that one!

I have mixed feelings on the Firestorm. I just got one and I have had a bit of trouble adjusting to the thing because I have short fingers and it seems to be built for long fingered folk. I have to completely ignore the handgrips to hold this thing and use the buttons and triggers. It seems like a cool game pad, but just not for me. It may be back in the store tomorrow. I will keep you posted I guess.

haha actually..i've played almost the whole nba live series from my keyboard..so im kinda used to it..

hmm...how does the analog pad work anyways??..so like u move aroudn with the D-pad and if u wanna switch hands and stuff u just press the analog controller in a certain direction?
