    Official NBA Live 08 Bug and Glitch Thread

    Borrowed the game from a friend who bought it at Target. He wasn't too impressed so he let me hold it because he is a 2K fanboy.

    I started making roster edits and putting FA's on the correct teams. I then started up my 76ers Dynasty. Since I had to sign Calvin Booth to the sixers from the default FA pool he was on my list of players leaving or whatever it's called (in the dynasty menus). Under "yrs. remaining" there was a "0". Since Igoudala is a FA after this season his yrs remaining was a "1". Booth's was a "0". I think that it was due to Booth being waived by his old team, and that being the case for all of the players in the FA pool who I added to a team's roster (There was somekind of pop-up message talking about him being waived by his old team). I guess that the concept is since they were "WAIVED" by another team they do not count against your CAP. Again, every FA who I added to a roster pre-dynasty had "0" yrs remaining at this menu in Dynasty.

    Here's the glitch though...At the end of the season when I went to re-sign players I signed all of the players previously under contract, but when I tapped "a" to begin negotiations w/ Booth and have the game take me to the next screen the game froze up. Couldn't even hit the guide button during this freeze. I had to turn off the 360 and re-boot. I tried again 2 more times to sign Booth and both times the game froze up. After the third time I opted not to touch Booth and moved onto the FA signings part of the offseason. I was pleased to see that the CPU was able to get these FA's who I added to there team off their roster if they choosed. One of my fears was that since Booth had 0 yrs remaining he would somehow never jump off my roster. That is what lead me to sim the season, and see what happend at the "re-signing" portion of the offseason (and thus found the freeze issue).

    The players added to a teams roster pre-dynasty do go back into the FA pool. I didn't try to re-sign Booth w/ him in the FA pool, but I think that if I did it would not freeze again. I was able to start negotiations w/ other players during the offseasons FA-signings w/ no problems.

    I will try and narrow this down to whether or not it only occurs for players added to a team prior to starting a dynasty. It would REALLY SUCK if this happend for any player you signed from the FA pool after there contract was up. You would have to let them be released, and then let other teams in on signing them. That would really suck if you signed a premier player who would get a lot of interest from a lot of different teams.

      Just had a FB with Bryant, who got hung up on a dunk which did not go in and announcers say basket good. But I guess I am complaining. This is a finished product? Sure EA spent quality time testing this. Peace!!!:y4:

          i don't know if i should post this here or not. Not sure if this is a bug a glitch or just a cheat. But i was playing a dude online last night and as soon as he won the tip off he paused it. From the time the game resumed until the end of it I was unable to pause, call a timeout, substitute, nothing. Even when he called timeouts i couldn't adjust my lineups or nothing. I played 3 more games right after that and it NEVER happened again. Don't know if anyone else experienced this but watch out.

            I have seen players hands going through backboards on layups and dunks and passes pop into players hands which are roughly 2 feet away and then magically appear in their grasp. It happens about 5 times per game...

            There is an out of bounds issue where players will step out of bounds and still be dribbling and not be called out...

              I haven't really noticed yet since I've only played a few games. Can anyone confirm if they fixed the 3 pointer glitch. In Live 07 I don't know how many times I've hit shots like a mile behind the line and only given a 2.

                I have come across what might be a major bug. Trying to figure out if there's anything I can do on my end to get around it.

                I've played a few games now and I believe I'm on my 5th or 6th game. I am simming up to the 4th quarter and I jump into the game to finish it up. I get the trivia screens and at the last one, the game freezes on me. The only way for me to get out of it is to power down my Xbox 360.

                What irritates me the most is that I had an almost identical problem with NHL 2008 (on the PS3). At a certain point in my franchise the game would freeze. Initially I got around this by disabling auto-save, but for NBA Live 08 the first thing I did was disable the autosave.

                Very upsetting as up until this point I've been quite happy with the game. Has anyone else had a freezing glitch happen to them? If so any tips on how to get around it?

                This really pisses me off because with the "old gen" games I never had freezing problems (except with NHL 2k series - notorius for franchise freezes).


                What he heck is going on? I've seriously shut down and restarted my console 3 times today already.

                And before anyone asks - I have a brand spanking new 360 Elite which I bought when my Premium died on me a few weeks back - so it's not my console.


                /* Quick Update
                I was able to get by the problem by simming the entire game. The next game I jumped into the 4th quarter without any issues so hopefully it's an isolated problem. The game in question was Wednesdsay November 11th just to make a note in case it comes up again

                /* Update #2
                Fun times - the game has now frozen on me countless times. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the "sim and join in anytime" feature in the game. Of note the game now freezes at different points (not just at the end of the game). For example one time it froze before the game even started, and the most recent freeze was just as the game started. I pressed the pass button to inbound the ball and <BAM> freeze.

                Loads and loads of fun. This almost makes me want to buy NBA 2K but it doesn't have the sim and join function that I really use, so unless I can figure out why my game is freezing I might be out of luck for baseketball this year.

                That makes two $60 EA games that I've purchased (NHL and NBA) that have freezing issues. %$&!@#!

                  Has anyone experienced games freezing up when playing at the Celtics arena? This has happpened to me twice and both times I played with the Celtics at home. Also in the practice mode, my videos for go-to moves fail to show. This is with the PS3 version.

                      Had a loading time issue creep up during the trivia loading screen. It was fine until i picked 8 min quarters...the average wait time for 5 and 6 min quaters picked was like 30 secs...the 8 was about a min and a half.

                        Re: Official NBA Live 08 Bug and Glitch Thread

                        Well I started a new franchise thinking that something went wrong with my save file or something. I deleted my profile and franchise and started from scratch.

                        Just to be safe I even setup my profile to save on a memory card.

                        Two games into my new franchise the game freezes on me again. I am simming the game and chose to jump into the 4th quarter. I get the trivia loading screens and just before the game loads it freezes. The only way to restart is to restart my xbox 360.

                        Very dissapointed right now. Some people get upset about shoes and animations but that is nothing next to simply being unable to play the damn game. I'm going to look into returning my copy of the game because I have yet to see anyone else with this issue. Maybe with a new copy this won't happen but I am not going to hold my breath.

                        Very pissed at this moment and not thinking positive thoughts about EA

                          I love the game. But I am having problems with long load times at the trivia menu. Its never froze completely but they are way too long. One poster said something about if you get the trivia achievment their me be a cache issue. I'm not savy enough to know but can you delete achievements. I would like to try this to see if it improve load times.

                            Purchased yesterday and no problems with load times. Today it is taking several minutes to get to the game screen ( Frustrating ).

                            Also highlight which indicates which player I am controlling keeps disappearing. This makes choosing the correct person to switch to on defense difficult and also passing using the face buttons. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

                              I believe there is a setting which allows you to set whether the player names stays constantly or appears on a pass then fades away. Not sure if that answers your question but I hope it does. CHeck the setup menus
