Assuming your controller is supported by NBA Live 08, you may want to try reinstalling the drivers.

this is how i set up my usb ps2 controller, might help

in the configure controller

create a new controller or profile..for got what its called
set things based on ur joystick
save it
when u are in the select team mode
click on the controller icon..or joystick..or which ever showsup....if its a keyboard then its not reading ur device..if so start over (even restart the game)
when that menu pops up make sure u select the name of the profile u saved

It is possible to play 1 on 1 with joystick and keyboard?

Ok I hate this as well but for some reason, NBA Live 08 doesn't recognise the joy pad/stick if its plugged in after you open it. Simple solution: plug it in before you click the exe and it should work fine. You might have to go into options to change the keys to your liking but it should work all the same.
If this doesn't work, there a fault with the joy pad so just get a new one

Yes, thank you. Please use the report button or leave it for a moderator to handle. Please do not armchair moderate.

kunal_thefriend, please use the edit button to modify your previous post if you need to add something like that, rather than double posting. Thanks. As far as your issue is concerned though, are you playing with a cracked version of the game? If so, that would be the cause of the timeout issue and possibly the cause of the joystick issues as well. Please note that discussing cracked copies of the game is strictly against the rules so we can't help you out there.

That error generally only occurs when trying to play the game without the disc. Failing that, it might be caused by a patch you've got installed.

Andrew,just a question bout configuring controllers.i configure my controller and assigned new controls,when i tried using the buttons it doesnt work at all..like the "H" and "K" buttons which are i think crossover in the default.is there a way to recover and use these controls using my configured controller?

Change the controller configuration again, I would assume.

Are rock candy wired controllers supported?
I seem to be having a problem but it works on another PC
I plug in the controller and it shows and i select wired xbox controller but when i start the game the player is moving and dribbling all by himself in practice mode

It wouldn't surprise me if there are issues with newer controllers.
