Crowd Sounds need work as it ruins immersion

First off, gameplay is the best it's been for a few years so don't want to sound too critical.

I'm playing in a mynba and the crowd react really poorly to situations. Particularly in the 4th quarter. For example.....
They get really loud when the home team starts a possession then when you score they just go silent.

Or they all shout 3 as you try a 3 in the last 30 seconds and it goes in and they suddenly fall silent.

Or it's the last minute and you win the match and sometimes they just don't react or actually get quieter when the buzzer goes.

I feel the sound needs a revamp because the gameplay is great but the crowd reactions are really letting down the immersion for me. I'm referring to mynba mode mainly as I haven't tried other modes so can't comment.

It’s not even just the crowd. Some of the sound effects are missing as well (e.g. making FTs). I noticed this while playing as the Bucks at home and it was missing sound effects that are present in 2k24.

This is one thing I'm hoping mods are able to clean up dramatically on PC. I have an audio mod installed that seems to replace some of the sounds, but hasn't made a major impact on the atmosphere (more things like ball of rim sounds, etc.).

Would love to see a complete overhaul of the atmosphere. These things really stand out to me because I usually play without commentary.
