2 Player Sidewinder Problem

The Game still runs an everything goes. But i have one big Problem:

I couldm't play with two Playeres with Gamepads. The Gamepads where found in the in Win XP and i could use them for other Games. There are no Problems with my System. But in NBA 2003 the Game will only found one Sidewinder Gamepad. So i can only play with two Players whe the second one plays with the Keys. Did anyone knows why the Game couldn't find my second Gamepad? I wanna to play it with a friend but he wants to use a Gamepad too.

Sorry for my bad English, i'm from Germany.

U are lucky already i can't even play sinlge.

I play NHL2003 with out any trouble

I guess it is some bugs, guess we need to wait for updates
btw if anyone know the solution to all the problem SWinder is having please share thx

Is there anyone who can play the Game with two Sidewinder pads?

I can, for about 2 min, then the sidewinder doesnt work at all.

i play the game fine with 2 sidewinders game pads no problems

I couldn't understand it I have uninstalled the Game and then installed it again - Now - the Game finds my second Gamepad but after a few seconds it will be disabled, i can't understand that ..............

Many, many people are having this exact problem. I went searching through this forum, an ea sports forum, and a PC tweaking forum. On all 3 there are several people that are having this problem. I would think that EA would put out some kind of patch. The problem, whatever it is, seems to be the software, not a particular hardware problem. If I find any sort of solution, I will post it ASAP. Do the same if you find anything.

Ok, let's do it so.

Do all the people having this problm have windows XP? if so have you installed the service pack?

Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but it could.

I have XP and just installed the Service Pack 1 (SP1) and all of the sudden, LIVE WORKS GREAT!

I suggest installing xp sp-1 to make Live 2003 work.
