Yes, can you say SUCK IT EA!!!!!!!
I can't believe that they still come out with games that don't work on Win2k. What a bunch of F*CKING MORONS. I'll bet the problems lies in the engine, in that they basically use the same engine and 99% of the code over and over again each year. And they're too F*CKING LAZY to make it work for win2k. THERES ABSOLUTELY NO F*CKING REASON why anything still have compatibility issues with win2k in 2001!!!!
 
 
Ya...can you tell I'm pissed off? At least I didn't f8cking buy the damn thing. For anyone that actually pays money for this pos, and find out that it doesn't work on win2k, they deserve some sympathy.

It's funny because NBA live 2000 works just fine. I would guess they are going to release a patch addressing this but it truely is a joke that it isn't compatible out of the box expecially with Windows XP on the horizon... The only games I have wanted but didn't buy because of compatibility problems were EASports games. They have lost my business many a time in the past year.

Well,
 
I finally had a chance to look @ it. Well, it doesn't work with QfixApps. It detects the debugger and asks for closing it.
 
I will try more and let you know.

Madden didn't work fine for me until they released a patch specifically to fix a Windows 2000 issue that whenever minimize Madden it would stop reponding. For some reason it would minimize on it's own and ofcource stop responding. The point of this story is they supported windows 2000 by releasing that patch so I wasn't worried at all about Live being compatible. But hopefully they'll do the same for live.

Hi,
 
I updated the game through live update and came up with some very interesting results...
 
The game starts up fine. Shows the EA Sports Animation. Show the NBA Copyright Screen. Then exits back to the desktop.
 
Tried QfixApps, but still same...
 
Anbody else got it work?
 
Feeback required...

We all know how much EA Sucks now, I have always loved their series of NBA games untill now that I am reduced to changing my OS to play it.
I frown of EASPORTS.

Well i'm trying to work out whats happening during the update.
 
I click the autoupdate.
 
A box comes up..
 
verifying ..talking ..and then disappears.
Is that it? or was there suppose to be like a progress bar that goes for 10 or mores secs.
 
I get the feeling it didn't update.

Nothing much.
 
Except, I am seeing 5 threads for the same game and the feeback is scattered around.
 
It would be nice if you people could just make one thread for a single game and post everything in it.

So EA found a way to make it perfectly compatible with XP without being compatible on 2000? I also noticed in the games compatibility list that Triple play 2001 installs and runs fine on XP ofcource crashes upon start in 2000.... Why would they do that? Either that or Microsoft has really done a swell job in the compatibility department, making up for other companies ignorance.

MS has done an excellent job in the compatibility department. Hopefully these fixes will find their way to windows update for Win2k, but if not Windows XP or a patch from EA will be your best bet (or possibly qfixapp if it is updated with the required fix).

Please,
 
If you can, post the Compatibility Update. ACT.EXE. It is supposed to be in the XP beta CD.
 
I do not think, it would be an illegal action, since Microsoft is going to post the updated ACT.EXE after a month or so.
 
Thanks.

That file ACT.exe is the Application Compatibility Tookit. You can make programs and games think that they are working on 95/98 and they will work on 2000.
 
There is an updated ACT.EXE with the beta of XP.
 
Please post it for download.

The fix for NBA Live 2001 was not available on WinXP beta 1. You'll have to wait for beta 2.
