Exactly this. The show is the only game I've ever played on a regular basis on my PS3 actually.

All other sports games I purchase for my 360.

Lol the option does not "show up". Im telling people how to do it blindly. Im talking about the ps3 version. Apparently the 360 version doesnt have this problem

Got ya. Probably add that to the first page since, as you can see, it wasn't the most clear flow of discussion...

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

This game is so good it drives me crazy the little things that aren't addressed. I liked 2k10 because u had the option of full or 20 sec to.

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

2k11 has the option as well, at least my game does (i'm on the 360)

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

I don't think it was clear.

For the 360 you can see the option when you call a timeout. But for the PS3 you can't see the option. The option is there for the PS3. But you can't see it. To call a 20 second timeout. You have to press up on the direction pad and then press X.

I been doing it since I seen this thread.

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

Heh - yes, we know that Mrko... They were referring to "in-game" differences. Do players gain energy back on a full Time Out, etc?

There is a difference between a 20sec and full time outs. 20sec are mainly used for quick adjustments or when the other team goes on a run on you. Call to calm your team down And to get your players together (that's what they do in real life). Full time outs, are used to get more rest, make alot and the right substitutions, adjust coaching changes, double team setting, etc.

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

Also in real life you are only allowed to make one subsitution during a 20 second timeout. That isn't reflected in the game, however. I wish it was because that would add another element of strategy to the game; especially in those closing minutes of a game where you may need to make some key substitutions, but don't want to waste your last Full timeout. Hopefully 2k will add that in the future. In any case, I believe the only difference is the amount of energy your players recover during the timeout.

This was brought up last year.....And I simply don't like the idea of forcing someone who has called a timeout in a video game. To only be able to make one sub. Yes...Yes for the sim die hards out there. But for a causal user. I don't think so. I mean I been watching basketball for 20 plus years. I didn't know about this rule until last year when someone brought it up lol. I just never noticed they could only make one sub.

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

Jeebs,

Why disregard the rule if it is a rule? Simply because casual fans wouldn't know it was a rule? So I guess we should take out defensive 3 seconds as well. If it is in the game it should be in the game.

Re: How to call a 20 second timeout

It would certainly give more meaning to having 20 second timeouts in the game if we would only be allowed 1 substitution like in the NBA. I wonder if this would be patched into the game? Or at least modded in the PC version, if possible? Otherwise, I usually just pick one or the other randomly, as I normally take about 10-15 seconds to make any changes either way.

is there a difference between 20's and a full to calm a player who's on fire...or if a player is cold. i just remember calling 2 timeouts when a player is cold and he'll be back to normal... im just not sure if that works the same way with calling 20 sec timeouts...
