out-of-bounds, throw in

[flixotide]

Am I the only one who is sick of this? when I have to throw the ball back into play, all my team-mates are way gone, so I am forced into a turnover or a 5 sec. violation.

Sometimes my team mates actually stand out of bounds to receive the pass from a throw in.

I mean... I mean... no.. this can't be true.. the same problem was there since NBA Live 95...

I haven't had this happen to me much...my main gripe is that when your CPU teammates decide to run a fast break after you grab a defensive rebound, the C and PF are the ones left to bring it up the court, guys I don't usually like to trust with ballhandling duties.

@flixotide
I've the same problems and i hate it.That team mates stand out of bounds happen in 1 of 3 games.

On March Madness 2003 you can run out of bounds plays you should be able to do that on Live 2003 at least a box play or ball handler when you call ball handler yo auto pass it to your best ball handler

I just don't get it... they've been stuck with the same problem for 8 years...

@andrew... yeah, I get this too..

same problems here, also when for example shaq is NEXT to me, i press left it passes the ball all the way to the other side of the court. And when i a player wants to grab the pass at his left, the cpu makes the steal at his right. It's sooooo fake.

And when the cpu runs a fastbrake they make like 70% alley-oops.

but the best thing is, is that the cpu shoots almost 80% fgp, just amazing.

Yes, that's a common problem as well. Direct pass is not always effective either, my players sometimes throw it away even when using direct pass over a short distance.
