Any help?

Before OS I thought that most hardcore players were like me in getting a deeper feeling of immersion from trying to create an "on the court", or "in the stadium" playing perspective with these game.

I always turn the commentary off, because I don't want a T.V. style perspective when playing sports games. I'd rather hear referee calls, player chatter, coaches, fans, so in that sense I feel that 100% of games have "bad" commentary.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Big question for me. Although one thing I've seen a lot of in the videos is help side defense. I'm really liking how guys are coming over to help on mismatches.

As you know, they have an Art Team. That Art Team has given us (imo) the deepest level of accuracy on player faces and tattoos(even rooks and bench players look great) ever in a game. This is the thing...

Given that info, it's irrational to say "why aren't the accessories fixed?" You know why. You see what the art team spent their time on. It's not irrational to say "You still need to fix the accessories" or even more so "make it customizable". But it is wholly irrational to ignore the work they are putting in and incredulously demand that the headbands and baller bands are "still ****ed up, why can't you get it right????".

because it doesn't make sense to use the same stick for moving and doing dribbling moves. it's just a bad idea. when you have a separate stick just for the dribbling moves, it makes the dribbling more consistent and more responsive. they don't need to have the right stick dedicated to shooting, because you can just use a shot button like live does.

i remember when they announced that all the dribbling would be tied to the left stick, i thought it was a bad idea and would cause some problems..i was right.

i remember liking 2k's dribbling better before they added the shot stick. back then the right stick was used for dribbling moves.

Born is trying really hard here to pull you back from the psychotic ledge you're hanging onto DC.

That's all a preference, because I never use a shot button. I use the shot stick because its easier for me to time different shots.
