I am currently playing a very close game, I am trailing the whole game (difference between ~ -8 and -3) and with 3:50 left on the clock I still have 5 timeouts left.

With 30 seconds left on the clock I have 4 timeouts left, 10 points behind and my players are piling up fouls as if it would help... :-/

In my opinion timeouts should follow a better logic and need some bugfixing (best example is the "few seconds played in the 3rd quarter"-timeout that frequently occurs). Every coach would take some timeouts to adjust his team and maybe get back the lead...

I agree. I had a game where I blew a 18 point lead before my coach only called a timeout when the other team took the lead.

Logically a coach would have called a timeout when the opponent team go on a 10-0 run not when you have already blown the lead.

In case sb. misunderstands my suggestion: it is not about losing a game, it about behaviour of the engine to act more realistically. There are many scenarios where a team would take a timeout, but those events are not triggered in this game very often.

its clear u make 3 o 4 continued baskets after a timeout, but nothing more


what you mean with that.

@suggestion: i like to see the normal rules implemented, so that at least not all timeout could come at one point because you had to take some in the first half or you loose them.
