Okay, I would have to agree, if this is unfixable this is a damn good reason to bash the game. It is totally inexcusable not to have timeouts in this game on franchise mode. I think VC should receive a letter of discontent for this one!! If there is no way to fix it. You don't sell basketball games with those type of omissions.

Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
No, they don't.Originally posted by FootballForevernevermind lat in the game, by doing this do they call timouts period?
The CPU team is defaulted to having Manual timeouts, and therefore will not call a single timeout unless changed. And during franchise play, you cannot change controller to the CPU and make the change yourself.
So in franchise play, the CPU team will not call timeouts, ever.
Aside from the late game AI, this also affects substitutions and game flow at any time in the game.
Earlier this moring I was blowing this off as being no big deal, but now I realize that it is in fact a big deal. It's actually a very big deal; think for a second about the CPU team not calling a timeout EVER in your 82 game season. Ouch. I just really don't know what to say, and I cannot fathom how they missed this.
It's a shame because the game is so solid otherwise. But I'm honestly not sure I can get past this issue.Enjoy football? Enjoy Goal Line Blitz!Comment

See, this is what I want people to realize. The more voices in protest, the better Visual Concept's response (hopefully). Because the fun and excitement is going to die down pretty damn quick with such a big bug in the game.
By the way, I posted a petition request at espnvideogames.com, so anyone interested in a patch, please post there requesting one. Here's the link: http://www.espnvideogames.com/commun...ic.php?t=46947Comment

The CPU timeout glitch is not small, it's huge. No game's perfect, I know, but no game should come out with such an obvious bug.
I don't mind clipping, I really don't mind some of the less obvious bugs. Stat bugs are stat bugs, they don't change the way the game is played. This does, and it's not right.Comment

Re: CPU Timeout problem, reason inside
I tell you what lets just start a thread on espn clearly stating the problem and the issue and then get everyone with the game and an internet account to reply in agreement. And see what they say ?? if done in a professional and non bashing manner they should at least give us an answer. But any of that you owe us i payed my money wah wah whatever and it probably won't happen for GP.Catch me on that #SimNation #SimHangOut Friday's @ 10:00 pm est https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...N7yxMiElOpMl_BComment

That's what I'm requesting. Whether they can or not, we should request one at the very least. Or give out refunds because they released a broken game.Comment
