    This is why I hate playing Online...

    So I'm playing a quick match online, and after being down by 12 going into the 4th (Had two 5 year old's screaming and running around in front of me :'(), I narrow the lead to only 2 with 13 seconds left.

    I let Lebron take the ball up court (OMG NOT A HEAT USER!), and as the clock winds down I drive the lane, step back, and hit the tying shot at the buzzer.

    We go into overtime, and my opponent jumps out to a quick 6 point lead. We trade buckets for the next few possessions, so with 40 seconds left I'm still down by 6. I pass it in to Lebron, and his defender backs off anticipating the drive, so I take the easy 3. After letting my opponent drain the clock, I get a stop, and Lebron gets ANOTHER quick 3. With 12 seconds left, my opponent starts to drive with D. Rose, and as I swarm on him, he tries to pass it out to Deng... and LEBRON gets the steal! I race up court, get a wide open 3 again, and drain it with only 2 seconds left.

    So my opponent calls a timeout, but unfortunately I hit B and the coaching screen closes. I pause the game, go into my Defensive Settings, and switch everyone to "Deny Ball" for Off-Ball D, but as I back out, my timer expires and my opponent gets a "Your opponents timer has expired, would you like to quit and receive a win?"

    Of course, my opponent bitches out and takes the win, even though I was up by 3 with 2 seconds left in an insanely-epic game.

    It's people like this that make me not want to play online. This game was my first loss, and admittedly I am FUMING.

      People online are *******s, but it's your fault. Your lucky you got back to take a 3 point lead losing by 6 with 40 secs left. The deny ball bs doesn't work, but ultimately you didn't manage your time and basically asked your opponent if he wants a win or loss. You also made the mistake of closing the coaches menu. Mistakes lead to losses. Thats like saying you got the 5 second call trying to inbound the last possession of the game or you turned it over trying to inbound, its a mistake. You made a mistake, no one to blame here but you.

        well while i agree 95% of people online are d-bags, its really your fault. i mean you took too long on the pause menu, there is a time limit for a reason.

          Your opponent might have been a little bit unsporting, but he probably felt the same after watching his 6 point lead evaporate with three miracle three's in a row simply because Lebron is Lebron and then having to stare at the pause screen until the timer ran out. Plus they give you plenty of time with the pause menu. You might have been in there just a bit too long through the entire game.

          Ultimately, you were practically bailed out of a loss, probably by some luck and Lebron's rating. You then made multiple actual mistakes to bail your opponent out. This sort of thing loses ballgames. Ask Chris Webber about the NCAA Finals.

              Wow... While yeah, he prolly shouldn't have taken so long, it's still completely cheap of his opponent to do that. That you guys don't think so?

                I'll have to agree with everyone else. Although I know things sometimes happen while playing that requires you to pause, it gets frustrating watching someone continually pause while playing so i usually take the "time limit win" whether winning or losing...

                I've never lost a game because of time expiring...

                    To everyone saying "You took too long in the pause menu, so it's your fault" or "I would too if I had to sit through you pausing it over and over"

                    I only paused it once in the second half, and that was because of the 5 year olds running around with a video camera, screaming at the top of their lungs, and jumping all over everything.

                    I'm very sorry for trying to watch some kids, because a video game is MUCH more important...

                      If it's not important to you, than why are on a message board complaining about it. Maybe you shouldn't post stuff, if you are going to get mad when people don't agree with you.

                        I probably wouldn't have done it in that situation, but there have been times where people pause it every freaken 2 minutes. They even do subs from the pause menu, constantly adjust their matchups, check the game stats, etc. There is no need for that and I find it rude of them to make me wait 5 minutes, so I don't see how you can complain if you run out of time. You can do most of your settings in game or in the time out menu. These are the times I will just take the win.

                          If you have kids to watch then you really shouldn't be trying to play anyways and you had to know you were about out of time. Do you expect some stranger online to wait 10 minutes for you? We play video games on our own convenience too, so we shouldn't be punished because some people choose to try and multitask.

                          No offense man, but you don't have much room to complain. If the video game is not that important to you then I don't see what the big deal is in the first place. If it is important then you should prioritize your time a little bit better or just quit the game when you knew you had stuff to do.

                            I have two daughters 12 weeks and 9 months(yeah I know the math doesn't add up, haha) but what you stated above is precisely the reason I have to wait until they both are sleeping before I play online and even then I have to hope neither wakes up. Even then sometimes I don't get to play online. It wouldnt be fair for me to ask someone to wait while I get my little ones settled down. I sit there and stare at my Xbox waiting to be able to play and as a result my record is like 0-8 online and I admittedly stink, as I usually get beat by at least 10 points. I don't even like to play offline when they are awake because even though I can pause it, it tends to take away from the flow of a game. In fact last night I was playing someone and my 9 yr old crawled by the Xbox, saw the green light and decided to touch it(overly sensitive slims) thereby turning off the Xbox and obviously disconnecting me, that is exactly why I don't play when they are awake.
