Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
A recall is way too extreme - some people don't even TOUCH franchise. You have to look at the broader picture. What if someone discovers another bug somewhere after the game is "rereleased"? Do ANOTHER recall? C'mon. A patch is far more practical, if possible. If EA didn't fix the quicksand glitch, which had the potential to taint every game played, then there shouldn't be a call to recall this game.Originally posted by OneBadMuthaThe bottom line, if the corporate guys gave a sh##, they'd release a recall. If the point of the $20 price tag this year is to capture market share for the future, then they need to get this right. The bottom line is that the glitches in this game are severe. The time-out bug is not excusable. I don't know how some of you insist on saying it's no big deal. It's no big deal to casual gamers however VC advertised this as the most realistic game and with this bug, there's no way it's a sim...bottom line.
As far as the TO bug being inexcusable, don't forget that there were also people like IGN and Gamespot, at least, that had betas of the game and none of them noticed the lack of CPU timeouts either. Well, IGN's credibility is shot anyway. But just saying - it's not the most obvious thing to spot, much like the quicksand glitch. Although I do feel the quicksand glitch is more obscure.HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
Noticed it during my first game, as did others .Originally posted by toneloc99TO bug is not some hidden bug it is pretty obvious to spot after a few games of the CPU calling NO TIMEOUTS. Poor testing by VC lead to this, whoever is the lead developer should be ashamed.Comment

Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
Lol. If it's that obvious, why didn't anyone w/the beta discover it? Not trying to excuse them, but geez! There's a lot in the game that's done really well and all some people can harp on is how "unforgiveable" not finding this bug is. It's getting more and more depressing to come here... Perhaps I need a self-imposed break.Originally posted by toneloc99TO bug is not some hidden bug it is pretty obvious to spot after a few games of the CPU calling NO TIMEOUTS.

Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
I think you are missing the point. Yes its only one thing, but a major one thing. Timeout are like stategy in hoops. Imagine playing NFL 2K5 and you are driving with time left late in the game and CPU doesnt call timeout to try and help himself win.Originally posted by spankdatazz22Lol.

Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
Bad example. The CPU has horrible time management in ESPN2k5. I love it to death, but it'll call all of it's timeouts in succession without really trying to manage the clock. Or it won't call timeouts when it should. The game logic is great except for the last two minutes of halves. But people live with it.Originally posted by charles167I think you are missing the point.

The time management in Madden is devious (well done). But the lack of player interaction kills the gameplay for me. I guess to each his own. I just tire of people saying "This is unforgiveable!", or comments such as that, or harping on every... little... thing they find to be wrong with the game.HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

You are kidding right?!?!!
Isnt that when time management is crucial to a game?[/QUOTE]Comment
