If you are out of bounds and the ball hits you, it doesn't matter. You are not a live player. For example, in 2K14 if the ball deflects off of a defender on an inbounds pass and then it hits the passer (who is still out of bounds), this results in it being called out off of the passing team. This is a flagrant misunderstanding of the out of bounds rule, and I am shocked that it wasn't caught during development.

That's why you can't hit a player that's off of the field, and why a wide receiver can't just run out of bounds and then run back in for a catch. Out of bounds doesn't contain live players.

Even though this feller is banned, just for the record, he is incorrect (as others such as oj already insinuated). 2K has this ruling correct already.

But it's not a 2-man booth. Its 3, with Steve Kerr. So that would not be the exact same commentary team.

Although I see you're meaning these 2 probably won't be replaced.

E=You are correct because once the ball gets the defender it becomes live, the inbounder must get in play to take control of possession if possible. But, if it hits him while out of bounds the defense shall retain the ball now. Idk where ckgray got that from.

Removing Kerr isn't that hard considering all they have to do is remove commentary involving him. They have commentary all the way up till 2k13 where he wasn't even involved.
