Difference between 20 Sec and Full Time Out?

[Po Pimp]

Under what circumstances do u say "I think I'll call a 20 instead of a full this time"? Any advantages or disadvantages?

The CPU won't call a full timeout until you do. So I guess the only advantage is that now the CPU will call full timeouts.

i thought that with a 20 second timeout only 1 person can be subbed in? (correct me if i'm wrong)

Nope.

I call a 20 to stop a run or make a quick sub if needed. I use full's to get some guys a breather and set up pressure strategy, call a coaching focus (defense or rebounds), set coaching strategy...all of he above.

I think you're supposed to only be able to make 1 sub on 20-second time outs but 2k didn't include that in the game. I generally use 20 second timeouts if the guy I'm playing online does manual subs because I hope that he doesn't have enough time to make whatever changes he might want to make. Sometimes I take a full time out if I need to do something but don't have enough pause time left or if I just wanna take a minute to check everything out and get a focus during a close game lol. Off-line, I don't really care which kind of timeout it is.

But you can do all of this during a 20-sec timeout.

i'm pretty sure if you only call 2 20 second time outs during the first half, you get all 7 timeouts again in the 2nd... can anyone tell me why this is?

Not really depending on how many changes you wanna make. 20 seconds doesn't really last very long.
