Why the heck do we only get 2 timeouts for the 4th quarter? No one ever really uses the other available so why not let us save 3-4 timeouts going into the 4th quarter?

Most of the time, a close game is lost because you're out of timeouts and cannot advance the ball, or cannot have a comeback because of no timeouts.

I'm just saying, allow us more than 2 timeouts going into the 4th quarter if we dont use them up!

I certainly understand that but you have to give credit where credit is due. Had they mentioned they were updating tendencies nightly I would agree. But the fact is they are not, despite what some what to believe.

The key thing here is this: we, as gamers, do not lose with the current system. You can always change anything you use. If you want the newest rosters, you can go in and make changes if you see the tendencies were changes. There is not anything you can't change in regards to this feature.

Complaining about it is just trying to find something to complain about. It's unwarranted, IMO. Who cares if they update anything when you can always go back and decide not to utilize the updates? You have a choice.

In the NBA and in 2K8, you are allowed 6 timeouts a game, but once the 4th quarter starts, you are reduced to 3 if you didn't use them (not 2 like you stated). You are limited to 2 timeouts after the last 2 minutes of regulation (at 2 minutes left in the fourth). This already happens correctly in NBA 2K8.

I don't see why 2K has to change this since they are already following the correct NBA rules in the game.

20 second timeouts? I'm sure they were added this year. Especially with the CHoops guys probably spending time with the NBA team now.

That's likely a fix for the only 2 timeouts complaint.

I like that idea too.. NBA Live has it already, no reason why 2k cant.

You're still only allowed 2 and a 20 with under 2 mins left though, right?
