TV Timeouts

[itsmb8]

Just gonna leave this here. Thought of the idea, googled it, didnt see a thread about it yet so im leaving this here. We need an option for TV Timeouts in this game, just as like, added realism features. Opinions?

Why, the only reason for a TV time out is ad revenue.

Use it to change strategy in-game, subs, extra cutscenes in-game, basically regular timeouts like we already have without any team getting charged with an actual timeout. I see exactly what youre saying, and tbh, it doesnt really matter at all, but i could be just another option for people that want it.

Actually, the teams are charged a timeout for some TV timeouts, if they haven't used one already. Another good term for it would be "forced timeout" or "mandatory". There's some weird rules for it.

So even if NEITHER team wants a Timeout, one can STILL get charged a T/O because the TV folks wants one ?? That's f-d up

Wait! What? Is that true? This is totally unfair and could change the game's flow irl. Basically it interferes with basketball rules/tactics/coaching and no need to mention the momentum. Even if it's outside the last 2min mark it's still unacceptable imo.

Its not as crazy as it sounds. It only deducts a timeout if the coach hasnt used one in a while, so basically a coach can't save all their timeouts for the end of the game. NBA coaches are aware of it and account for it I'm sure.

It does break game flow, but it does that regardless of whether a timeout gets deducted or not.

I just want to be able to instantly skip timeouts in my games like I could on older games!

- Not being able to skip Time Outs, Halftime, & Postgame. (I don't care about cheerleaders, my coach in the huddle, or seeing the locker room every game. I play the game, to play it, not watch boring things.)

*Why do we have to sit there and watch annoying little time wastes?
