Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 OK, so I'm in the second year of my Dolphins franchise, and make it to the Super Bowl once again. Thing is, as soon as one of my players is tackled for the first time, the game freezes. Is this a common bug, defective disc, or corrupted memory card? Any help is appreciated.

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 There's bugs all over the game. I had that same thing happen to mine. I assume you're talking about PS2 because you mention memory cards, but mine was on Xbox. Luckily for me I was in the second game of a franchise when that started happening to me, so I just started a new franchise and had no problems after that. I don't know if there's any way to get around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 I haven't encountered a single serious bug with my copy. The season stats said one of my linebackers was second on the team in pass receptions, but that's about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Well the worst I came up with yet is on the scoreticker, example Steelers 27 Bengals 20 and then it informs me that Warren Sapp has three sacks, which would be good if I had actually dealt/moved him to Cincinnati or Pittsburgh....................

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Yeah this game has a lot of bugs... so does NBA 2k5 for that matter. Â I had to replay a season game against the Falcons six times, because the game kept hanging at some point during the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 I think the one bug that pisses me off the most in my game is inappropriate kick returners. For instance, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning return kicks in my game (and they are on computer teams in my franchise so I can't change it) and it makes no sense.

LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 I've never seen a QB returning punts or kicks. That's bizarre. Â The one freeze I've gotten is when there's less than 2 mins left, the offense barely gets a 3rd and short, there's offsetting penalties, and there's an automatic booth review on the spot of the ball. That was a bizarre enough freeze that I could ignore it. Otherwise, the game has run just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 I have that same bug, I can never play a single freaking game anymore without it locking up after the first few plays. Sometimes it goes away if you turn the commentary off... but still pops up even then. Â It's very annoying, to the point where I can't even play the game anymore period. I guess you really do get what you pay for, and this has kept he from buying NBA and NHL 2k5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 I've experienced the freeze bug a couple of times, nothing too major...not sure if this is a bug or not, but on a couple of my play packages, the computer keeps setting my punter as the QB at the start of the game. I never catch it until I've got the play going and the guys break from the huddle, so of course I have to burn a time out to set it right... Â the only NBA 2K5 bug I'm seeing so far is when the sports ticker is going, when it shows the player name and his stats, for every game it's always Stephon Marbury listed as the winning teams' star player (I'm guessing it choses THAT name because I'm playing as the Knicks)...

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted October 18, 2004 If I run for 5 yards, and there is a clipping penalty, my running back will be at -25 yards for that one play. Its a bitch whenyou are trying to add to your stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My NFL 2K5 runs like a pro... there is a bug in ALL the NBA 2K5's, though, that the CPU will not take timeouts at ALL in a game. To fix the problem (only works in Exhibition games) you have to go to the CPU side before the game, set the opponent's team timeouts calling from "Manual" to "Auto" and it's fixed. Doesn't work in Association because you can't switch sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a bitch whenyou are trying to add to your stats. Good Lord are you right on that one, I forgot about THAT bug...had Travis Henry break off a 50 yard run only to have it called back for a hold and of course it knocked 50 yards away from his previous number, I was pissed... Â I noticed the timeout problem on NBA 2K5 as well, they NEVER call timeouts, which is silly... Â Something else that isn't really a bug but it sure sucks when you just want a blowout game to end in NFL games, not just ESPN games: You're up by a huge lead with a minute left, you have the ball and you just wanna run out that clock and get the damn game over with but the CPU constantly calls timeouts...it's like, what the hell for? You're not gonna win, just let it go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must have gotten the glitchiest copy of all, because mine sometimes does that too. Another one is switching my starters around without me knowing (ex: putting in my backup QB even if my starter is 100% healthy and has played every game).

Guest Blackston Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Well, the NFL is not the same as college ball, and for most of the game they actually do run the clock after a play is ruled out of bounds. I don't know at what point in the game they stop the clock on an OOB play. I think it is something like five minutes left in the 4th, I know I am wrong though.
