Microsoft SLAMS NFL 2k3 cheaters!!!!

Just got this in my email:

As we prepare for the launch of Live, (it's less than 2 weeks away!) here are a few enhancements to this slammin' gridiron action. You'll see what we mean the next time you play SEGA Sports™ NFL 2K3 on Live.

Countdown Timer: This new, 90-second timer has been added to the pause menu, so quitters can go find another game to play - they'll get a loss if they hit Pause and don't jump back into the game within 90 seconds. 'Nuff said.


I like it!

Dam, and I get beat again to this :(

Oh well, here's the whole thing boys and girls:

If you've been playing SEGA Sports™ NFL 2K3 on Xbox Live™, then you probably know that this game has what it takes to play just like the pros.

Create Match option: You can now find it in the OptiMatch menu. So starting up a game is faster. And dominating the field is easier than ever, too.

So strap on your Communicator and square off against rivals all over the globe.

My 2 cents, if they are going to do a timer, 90 seconds is totally unfair, at least make it 3 or 4 minutes...what happens if I have to go to the bathroom or something? Especially after Tacos....come on man...that's weak :rolleyes:

Yup, got that email as well.
Even though I haven't ever played that game I do like the idea.

Hope they are adding this to all Live games and
not just NFL 2K3.

man, sometimes you need the 90 seconds just for a beer break. I suppose if you tell the other person and they wait for you and just keep unpausing it to break the 90 second count it'll work.

Hmmm...well what about in between scores? Before the kickoff, there isn't any kind of timer either :eek:

Naw cassy ... I think they mean they going to add a whole separate timer at the pause menu ... so it don't matta if there's a timer in game goin on or not.
