************
Introduction
************
This Movelist is a quick guide to the controls of NBA Live '99 and is for
people who are confused with the many skill moves available in '99. It is
still very basic so any suggestions and tips would be welcome:). While the
keyboard is usable for normal play, I would recommend a gamepad for
maximum playability. Myself I use a MS Sidewinder gamepad[9 buttons] which
is quite good.[I have included its layout also] One disadvantage of the
keyboard is you have to define the controls yourself, unlike the Sidewinder
which has a 9-button layout all set-up for you.
