Here's another bug: You only have 3 players to choose from when drafting (no arrows to scroll the list)...

No this is incorrect, i thought the same thing too. Thats just them telling you the 3 best players at the position you need most, i think. Just press the > arrow at the bottom right of the screen and you will go to the next page with ALL the remaining rookies.

god..... I don't know what to think... Im trying to look at the bright side, the gameplay, but even that is overshadowed by problems like this.

Maybe EA should take 2 years off, and come back with 09 and make it the best ever. They should make the game playable. Im sick of this shit, i dont even have the game, and Im pissed at EA for all those guys that have gone out and blown their money on the most unstable hunk of shit that EA has ever produced. What happened to the glory days? the days back when you were looking for a sports title and you didnt look at anything that didnt have "EA" in it. Challenge Everything? the only thing they challenged was their brain to make a decent basketball title, and failed. Its in the game... whats in the game? i knw thabo sefolosha isnt in the game... even shaqs fucking head is missing, balkmans skin, and the ability to press the fucking down button when you want to draft a player!

get

something

right

I'm debating whether I should bold saving stats as a priority as well. I've recieved a PM from an online league commish, but if someone else could make a case that saving stats should be a priority, that'd be great.

I'm thinking of presenting the petition with emphasis on major issues plus a couple of additions like that, as well as a shortlist of less pressing issues that don't really affect gameplay/enjoyment, so I'd say we should include that as one of the small additions we'd really like.

Andrew, did EA actually release the patch after the petition was sent?

Yes.

Keep the bug reports coming, I'd like to start collecting signatures (in this case email addresses) and the petition sent within the next couple of weeks. As I said, I'd like to emphasise the major gameplay problems as well some small additions (like saving stats) as well as some of the more prominent issues that don't affect gameplay but are still annoying.

EDIT: I've updated the thread title as we've got a lot of bug report threads popping up. Since this thread is compiling a list for a patch petition, please keep all bug reports here. Thanks.

Here's some more bugs, that haven't been listed.

One thing I noticed: some players have a wrong headshape in the Edit Player screen. Arenas for an exsample. The headshape's fine in the game though. (This one was actually noted before by Tony Divence)

Three flaws, that were in the game last year aswell:
-If you get blocked, the layup/dunk will count as 0/2 FG.
-A deflected pass counts as a turnover.
-There's no averages at the Team Stats screen.

A funny thing that I saw in the playoffs: You can sometimes look at the box scores of the games, when a match-up is finished (4-0, etc.). This only occurs, when you haven't simmed to far (just like during the season , we can see box scores for the last two days).
But when a matchup is not finished, there's no "view box scores" button.

this is something that happens to me two or three times a game:

when defending, the CPU attacks the rim and i succesfully close the lane with the help of a CPU teammate. the attacking CPU player seems to get stuck and doesn't do anything till the shot clock runs off or holds up the ball for like 15 seconds till he decides to shoot when the shot clock counter is about to expire.

idk if this has been posted or not, but sometimes after a game when i click quit game its supposed to goto the main menu or dynasty mode menu or whatever but it just exits the game

[joejam999]

Its not to big of a deal but kinda makes some of the grpahics look grainy. On all the alpha channels there is a little bit of black around the stuff like the 2d crowd. (does anyone else have this?)
Another bug is sometimes the guy with the ball just dribbles in one spot til the shot clock is almost down. Happend once in 1on1 and maybe twice during a game.

this is what i was talking about on my previous post. sometimes they just dribble in place and don't even try to shoot for 15 secs till they get called for a shot clock violation!!!!

They have always moved when there was about maybe 5 sec left for me.

they did move if i was the only one defending.

if there was teammate nearby the dribbler would get stuck between both defenders and there would be neither a double team animation nor would the guy move or shoot or do anything.

Good idea, it's better to present a hierarchy now that the list has grown and would be easier to organize.

I'm confused with what you said and with what -YoungBuck- said. Is this the case that we're stuck with picking 3 guys, or it just shows us the top 3 before allowing us to pick from the draft pool?

[-Young Buck-]

when doing the draft you go to a screen when its your turn, and it shows 3 players...i think they are the top 3 players of the position they think you need. But you can just press the > arrow at the bottom right corner to go to the next screen, and it will show you all the players left. Then you can draft your player from that screen.

[tractrix]

I'm using a thrustmaster dual pro 3 gamepad. I don't know if its me but tapping the direct pass button to pass to the player closest to the basket doesn't work.

Another issue I'm experiencing intermittently is while using direct pass, all of a sudden either player lock or off ball mode is enabled (without me clicking the right analog of course) and I can't seem to switch it off, I have to pause out of the game and come back. Very frustrating...

Anybody else experiencing the same problems?

[-Young Buck-]

Here is what im talking about.. when doing a draft you get the mock draft..



Then you click on the bottom right corner > button to go to the draft, this is what comes up with the 3 picks when its your turn.



Now you have only 3 players to pick from, but you can click the bottom right corner > button again to get this screen with all the remaining players left, and draft someone from this list.

[BigKaboom2]

I think these are just the players your team has *virtually* scouted.

[nguyenvandon]

Im sick and tired of this BS PG Domination. I mean, wtf is up with M. Williams on Bucks as a starting PG? his stats are so terrible, and he still drives and shot 3's like he is Iverson.

The gaming has so many delays. Blocking delays, stealing delays, rebound delays, etc. The list goes on forever.

EA Sports should just had kept 06 style, and just add in the new Roster, Stats, and Superstar Freestyle.

Im tired of this damn game. Gives me a headache with all these glitches. Time to uninstall and reinstall 06. EA has sunk so low to make the most crappiest game of the year. I had high expectation when I bought this game for PC DVD. Now I just don't know anymore. I am a loyal fan on NBA Live games, but if EA keeps this up they will lose tons of supporters. Good luck in the future because if this shit keeps up I won't be buying their games anymore.

I'm going to go player some Counter-Strike 1.6 to blow off some anger from EA Sports...

[Fitzy]

do you think that EA will actually release a patch to fix all these problems? cause i really want to get the game, but im not going to if there are so many bugs

[Andrew]

I'm optimistic about our chances if we send off the petition within the next week or two.

[Voxel]

this is not a bug but maybe it can be included in the petition:

as i've stated in another thread, the pro-hop binded to the "hold 2 secs right analog stick up" is not a very wise choice. by the time you've held those 2 secs (less than that gives you a default freestyle spin move) the move is useless. can we ask them to bind pro-hop to a more responsive command? if i recall correctly, in the previews people said that it was bound to a dunk button quick tap, that would be more logical. backdown + pro-hop combos were rendered useless because they are bound to the same analog stick

[nguyenvandon]

I think someone mention about this...

The fade away 3 pt. shots from like 3 feet away from the 3 pt. line is ridiclous. Even with tight defending, CPU makes every 3 pt. shots.

[BigKaboom2]

I think the severity of the CPU Sub bug will prompt a patch. I don't think Live 2005 had anything this awful in it and they patched that. 06 didn't have anything too terrible except for offensive rebounding, which I was able to adapt to by timing my jumps.

I think NBA Live 06 was the best version so far on my list of all the Live Games I've played...

sounds good

[Crystallas]

They should be working on a patch now. Not waiting for us to send a petition. I think that should be added to the list of flaws that we are all seeing here.

*EA must consider the reaction of the general public, and work on the game without being asked to do so. Esspecially when serious bugs arise.
