Not exactly a specific bug but an error that made the game less realistic...

It is necessary, that if you're in a very tight game, with seconds left on the clock, you call a timeout.

That enables you to call a special play; so to speak, then make the inbound on the mid-court.

I had a game wherein in these situations, a timeout is necessary, yet the coach didn't call one. Instead of running down the floor and tiring yourself.

How come they didn't call a timeout since it is needed? I ended the game in triple overtime... with four timeouts uncalled.

i totally agree with you...

in my last game that i expected to loose, so this isnt a moan, the TOs were totally illogical again.

In the second quarter my opponent called a time out when the score for the quarter was 15-14 in my favour, but he was leading by a mile already. In the third quarter, my opponent went on another run and at a 26 - 6 (or something similar to that) my team called a time out... A little bit too late.

I have also seen full time outs be called, and quite a few off them too, where teams are trailing by 10 or more points and there is only 1 or seconds play time left... That is kind off very unrealistic to me and quite annoying when ur waiting for the final score and team-playing ratings.

The question is whether they can fix this. The GE I can imagine is very complex and to get something like this to function how it should be in real life is kind off difficult...

i am going to bump this with another example. it is totally unacceptable for me that the GE works this way. (and i hope we get someday a serious answer as to why this is so difficult, perhaps impossible to script)

Luckily it is a PL game but it has happened to me in league games too.

The first 2 quarters were a close game. The 3rd quarter I have lost 22-4. Like I said, it is a PL game and I did expect to loose. BUT!!!! i have SIX!!! TOs left. Seriously, watch the 3rd quarter, my team is making every single misstake possible, TOs, PFs, and loosing many offensive rebounds. My coach didnt call a single TO and I have 6 left? I am sorry, but that is totally unlogical. Pls fix this...

ok 4th quarter being played. just scored 9-2 in my favour and 3 minutes are played and my opponent calls a TO... seriously, how more unrealistic has it to be?

The funniest thing is when the coach calls to after just 20-30 seconds played in the quarter?!
We decided that the coach was telling some joke or funny story to the players, but he didn't have enough time between quarters.
