And for an offline gamer like myself, I'm sure access to the additional sliders they spoke of can address this if necessary.

What happens when somebody overdribbles in real life? Bad plays? Bad Shots?

What do you think is going to happen with this system? People who dribble the ball all the time will take bad shots and make bad plays.

How many more years until they figure out fatigue?

But the Irvings of the league shouldn't be fatigued for over dribbling on any single possession.

There would probably be more fatigue when going full speed using full explosiveness in multiple directions against multiple world-class athletes than performing a simple dribbling drill. A player wouldn't get winded in one possession but the intense repetitive dribbling might be enough to affect their shot, and the effect would compound as a player does that continually.

That said it seems 2K sort of lumped the loss of focus, accuracy and control from over dribbling and exertion into their "short term fatigue" model. I wonder if the zig-zag cheese prevention mechanic still exists separately from the short-term fatigue mechanic.

It might be better if dribble fatigue was thought of or named something like "Focus". Fatigue tends to suggest pure physical tiredness, while something like over-dribbling before shooting might also involve loss of accuracy and stability due to mental concentration, repetitive motions in a short period, and elevated breathing.
