Just want to say, love this game so far, love the chess match aspect of it, but these glitches take away ALOT from the strategic aspect of this game. I will explain what they are and why they take away from the game:
1. "Starting 5" Auto-Subs Does Not Work
If you bring up your sub-menu and go to your "starting 5" package substitution, it does not work. The other packages seem to work OK, but Starting 5 just keeps the same guys you already have on the floor. I am only speaking for the "quick sub" menu that you bring up by pressing up on the directional pad. This is a big issue considering #2 and how hard it is to sub in the first place.
2. Controller Buttons ADVANCING Screens and Cutscenes While Subbing!!
This is huge to me. When you try to quick-sub during highlights, replays, cut scenes, foul shot routines, or end of quarter/half breakdowns, the game thinks you are pressing A in order to advance the game. This makes subbing in those situations impossible, because when you press A to sub someone it advances the game, leaving you with the same lineup you just had and the game continues.
PLEASE, please, please patch this. This takes away a ton of strategy from the game because you cannot sub on the fly as effectively as you would like, and you end up having to burn a timeout or foul someone, just to get your guys in.
3. Quick Sub Menu Is Interrupted For No Reason!
Another extreme annoyance that adds to the quick sub debacle. I'll be changing subs in the quick sub menu and the computer will score, only to close out my sub menu to have me inbound the ball. Sometimes it automatically does this. Other times I will have to manually close out because the AI will not take over for me on offense and throw the ball in. Again, very, very annoying, and takes away from the strategy of substitutions. Sometimes the team presentation overlays (when it flashes "Sixers" for a second on the screen as part of the presentation) will interrupt the quick subbing as well. Sometimes the screen closes for no apparent reason also.
4. Auto-sub Broken Online
Online play, If you set substitutions to manual, it still subs automatically and you have no say over it. I don't think it happens offline, just in online ranked games (haven't played unranked yet to check if it happens there)
Also, during FT routines you should have more access to the auto-sub menu. Comon guys, this is a huge part to strategic gameplay. I don't want to pause the game every 2 minutes to bring up my substitution menu, it completely takes you out of the game. This is coming from a "sim-head" who plays the game like it should be played. 98% of this game is awesome but these few annoyances are killing me.
I would also add that as many have mentioned, we need more CPU called timeouts. Even if it's just at the 3 minute mark of the first quarter, Just a simple patch to add a "TV Timeout" would help tremendously in this aspect. I don't like being the only one calling timeouts in order to get my guys in. The computer should recognize this also
If you fix these issues it would add quite a bit to the strategic aspect of the game. Thank you
