General Tips [GG04gts]
= = = = = = = = = = = =

Freestyle Requirement:
Highflyer : dunk 85, jump 85, speed 75
Playmaker : pass 80, drib 85, o.awn 81
Power : dunk 85, strg 85, hardi 80
Outside Scorer : f.g. 80, drib 80, o.awn 87
Inside Scorer : f.g. 75, i.sc 80, o.awn 85
Shooter : f.g. 80, 3-pt 80, freeT 85
Inside Stopper : d.reb 80, block 80, d.awn 80
Outside Stopper: speed 85, steal 80, d.awn 80

Shooting Tips:
Normally press circle button and release it before jump reaching peak
Some player are good at quick release, it's hard to tell who are.
Short player who cannot dunk, try to use circle shoot instead of
using square button when he is very very very near to basket.

Playmaker Glitch:
No matter the player is freestyle playmaker or freestyle superstar
playmaker, he is still displayed as freestyle superstar player in
the freestyle player list as at PS2 platform.

Max display:
When you purposely dominated a game and scored over 500 points,
it will only displayed as 500 at your dynasty calender for the game.
When you scored over 700 or 800 points, the game may stop record
stat anytime, but individual stat and team stat will be record at
stat central. I never try to score over 1k, so I do not know the
result. You can actually score very points through cheating by
controlling both teams with your control. The fastest way is inbound
to player who standing out lane and another team shoot 3 pointer.

Roster Management:
Some people do not know how to switch player which is new added in
team during match when their team roster is beyond 12 player.
Actually, before the match itself, you should go into your roster
management's Inactive Roster list to do arrangement for your roster.
Those new created player are mostly being set as inactive roster
when the team is stack with too many player.

Roster Name:
NBA live 07 new feature included calling new created roster's name
during the match. But there is condition to be calling out their
name instead of jersey number. Roster's name must be found in game's
original roster name pool. Likewise, if you name a player with first
name is Claxton, his name shall be called during the match but not
his jersey number. Even if you put a player's last name as Jordan,
He will be called as Jordan in game. Note: There is a player name
Speedy Claxton and Jordan Farmar in Hawks and Lakers. All default
roster's last name and first name are included in roster name pool.

Blocking:
It is easier for fresh player learn how to block by blocking normal
PF, SF or even C rather than SG and PG. This is because normal PF,
SF and C dunk more frequency than shoot. Fresh player can learn
blocking by catching the timing. After that, PG's layup are easy to
block also, as long as the PG is laying up the ball as normal style.
There are some super short PG who can't even perform a smooth layup
always like to throw the ball slighty vertical in air and they (PG)
themselves felt on floor, this kind of layup is hard to block for
fresh man. However, most layup are easy to block. The 2nd hardest
thing to block is shoot block. When you want to block someone who
is shooting to the basket, it's really need good timing! And the
hardest to block is freestyle superstar's skill. You can be admire
by all the player around the world if you can block the Freestyle
Superstar Highflyer in game more than 20 times. Shaq with Power
Freestlye Superstar skill is really unstoppable! Trying to block
them will also cause you giving out cheap free throws for them.

Learn it from SD school better than ask people.
Because it is hard 2 explain.

Toss list [SD05tsl]
= = = = = = = = =

If you want to master the skill of self alley-oop in SD contest.
You might have to learn how to toss the ball and que the correct
timing. The following is the list of toss style.

RAS control (# indicate the direction shows in regular analog clock)
1. Push left or right = shoot toss
2. Push up = scoop toss
3. Push down = toss down and bounce the ball
4. CW from 3 to 9 = turn back and perform down toss ball and bounce
5. RC from 9 to 3 = same as above but different side
6. Full CW from 3 = place ball on floor and do football gather toss
7. Full RC from 9 = same as above but place different side
8. Push and Hold left = toss the ball below right leg
9. Push and Hold right = use elbow to hit the ball
10. Push and Hold up = half squat double hand scoop toss
11. Push and Hold down = tennis style toss down and bounce
12. CW from 3 to 6 and Hold down = sit down and toss the ball
13. RC from 9 to 6 and Hold down = same as above but different side
14. CW from 9 to 12 or RC from 3 to 12 = turn back and toss ball up
15. CW from 3 to 6 or RC from 9 to 6 = turn back and toss ball down

20. RC from 6 to 3 = right leg lift, toss ball under leg and bounce
21. RC from 6 to 3 and Hold left = right knee hit toss
22. RC from 6 to 9 = place ball behind and toss
23. RC from 6 to 9 and Hold right = right leg kick from left side

(While All-Star SD contest, contribute by bumdude)

Press D-pad left / right while tossing ball:
throw off-screen hit left / right Big Screen.

Press D-pad up / down while tossing ball:
throw off-screen hit clock or whatever up.

**The distance you throw the ball is variable due the distance how
far you stand away from the basket. Training Off-Screen tossing is
hard, because it can only be done in SD contest. There is an easy
way to master it, just simple get in SD contest mode and toss it
until the time runs out, just simply restart the SD contest and you
will be able to continue to practise, but make sure you set yourself
as the 1st dunker and need no to wait till other dunker finish their
moves. You can also have a look the score of you attempted dunk,
even failed to dunk in the ball, you still got the points. By the
way, you are able to realize your true potential of dunks made
through the points given, it does motivate you!**

Additional Example List [SD06ael]
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

These are some example provided from me myself to share with you.
Fun Dunks probably not a good dunk use in SD contest mode since it
gives you not much point in SD contest (Except Jordan's 1 hand
windmill tricks)

*RAS # indicate toss skill from toss list

Fun Dunks:

Start from 3-pt line left / right wing, S, L1+T
=Carter's pump dunk

Start from 3-pt line left / right wing, S, L1+O
=Kobe's Nike commercial dunk (reversed)

Start from 3-pt line left wing, S, L1+X
=left pass to right hand and clutch before dunk

Start from 3-pt line left wing, L1+O, L1+O
=combination of two special tricks

Start from inner of 3-pt line, S, S
=Jordan's vertically stretch dunk

Start from right side between curve and straight 3-pt line, S, L1+S
=Jordan's 1 hand windmill tricks.
This dunk gives your descent score.
IT IS A NICE DUNK TO LEARN OR PRACTICE HOW LONG THE
'In Air Tricks' SHOULD BE HOLDED.
