Greetings folks! The freestyle control in NBA Live 2003 adds a whole new
dimension of fun and gameplay to the NBA Live series. According to the
EA Sports website, there are over 50 new moves and thousands of potential
combination threats. I will separate all of the moves into four different
categories: Dribbling (standstill position), Dribbling (moving), Holding the
Basketball, and Defense. I need your help and contributions to compile a full
and complete movelist. So if you know any moves that are not listed in this FAQ,
please e-mail me or post on the GameFAQs message board. I will of course give
you full acknowledgement and credit for your contributions. Also if you have
any suggestions, ideas, questions, or notice any errors about this FAQ, feel
free to email me as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0 - Minor errors corrected.
Version 0.90 - First version of this guide. Included all moves that I found
after a few days playing the game. I will have a more complete movelist in the
next update.

II. Dribbling (standstill position)
________________________________________
All of the following moves can be done from a standstill position while
dribbling the basketball. You can do some of the crossover moves by
pressing the [] button. However, those moves come up randomly. So in
order to execute a particular move you want then you should use the right
analog stick. Just follow the button sequence for Right Handed Moves if
the ball is in your player's right hand. And vice-versa.
Note: cw = clockwise
ccw = counter-clockwise

Same as dribbling from the standstill position you can press [] to do some
dribble moves randomly. You can also press triangle to do the spinmove.

do a move. So... this means Shaq cannot do the "Iverson" Spinmove !!!
