I'm kinda thinking they wouldn't even need live ball right away. But with all the dunks and moves they're adding every year...is is too hard to maybe simply add a few stumbling and turnover animations triggered in traffic, too? Even if it's not fancy real time physics stuff, at least some kind of animation system we actually can use to force the ballhandler into situations where he has a disadvantage. Right now, it's either bump, ankle breaker, on ball steal or getting beat by the offensive player. What the game is missing is the stuff in between those things.

Then people complain about canimations and 2K responds by taking it back out leading to overpowered offense that push players out of the way.

Frankly I'm fine with these types of animations triggered in the right places so long as they're not overly long and gives you some ability to fight for control.
