    Won't happen. We saw the same last year, everyone asking for real camera's, a fix for the terrible button responsiveness and right analog auto dribble glitch etc. With the game being released early and so cheap, VC have the perfect excuse to do nothing. Good luck next year though, they lost a lot of fans with a terrible game last year and now when they actually make a good game it's filled with inexcusable bugs so even more fans will lose faith here.

    Seriously though, a patch to fix some of these things would earn them so much respect and credit for their future games, they should really try to do something.

      And besides someone has tried to start a petition about some or other issue in every single sports game released this year! Seriously. Don't listen to any of us (except me) - just go get the game!
      Please don't listen to this guy. If you feel from what I'm talking about that this is a huge issue, stay away, because it most definitely WILL be a huge issue for you.

      I can't believe I bought this game when I knew better, but paying even a penny to Visual Concepts for this tripe is just not worth it. All they want is your money, and they won't improve their methodology unless they stop getting it. And this is the issue at hand: their approach to making games just reeks.

          Exactly, but I tried to tell them that and they don't want to listen. I don't like their attitude towards their customers, and it's definitely come to a point where I'm just done with them.

              But for all the franchise players where there isn't a solution I feel your pain.

              I guess somehow all the QA people and ESPN NBA team didn't notice there was a TO bug and didn't notice a problem leaving the TO option at manual for the comp.

              Oh well there is always 2k6 for them to fix this bug.

              Yeah, except from this year's experience and last year's, gamers like me are done giving them our money.

                  Nope. 2nd player inexplicably can't even choose the opposing side. How dumb is the lead designer for this game? I'd like to know.

                      This is where the $20 dollar difference between NBA Live and ESPN comes into play.
                      QUALITY wise, Live is much much better.

                      I guess it's really true that you get what you pay for. all that hard work by sega to turn it into the best sim game and they mess it up with a very simple glitch. I guess you can just use FULL AUTHORITY the whole season. hehehe.

                      Here's a question:
                      WOuld you be willing to pay $60.00 for an ESPN NBA 2k5 without the CPU Time Out glitch ?

                          thanks Neo, for creating that ESPN thread.

                          I was loving this game, to a degree. but now I cant play it nowing the CPu cant call timeouts.

                          EVERYONE.. petition for a patch!

                          ------- edit: i guess they erased your thread or the thread you linked us to.

                          im so disappointed .

                          at least I have live.... im being serious here. I really dont feel like wasting anymore time tweaking this game or playing it knowing that this is lingering in franchise... sure its cool to play exhibition.. but i want to build on my wins and get a season going..

                              Man I like this game but these mistakes are sad. ESPN games seem so generic because of these stupid a** mistakes. Oh well I guess its time to check out Live. Crap like this is the reason they play second fiddle to EA.
