Me from eight years ago wishes NBA 2K3 for GameCube could have been patched.
If you play with manual substitutions the game locks up, so you're forced to use stupid auto-subs. Sega didn't even do a fix and disc exchange for people, the jerks. If it'd happened on PS2 or XBox they probably would've been forced to in order to save face.
At least it only cost me $10... I probably should have emailed them and complained, but it didn't seem like they were doing much for people going from what peeps were saying on the game's GameFAQs board.
