Double shimmy = automatic foul

[Lyvean]

I don't get this.

Of course it's in the player's power to stop using a broken mechanic, but it's 2K's obligation to fix this mechanic.

What's next? Problem with the foul mechanic, so in order to avoid the problem we should commit no fouls?

And it's not about a game being perfect. It's about making sure its fundamentals work. If they don't why include them in the first place?

Agreed, it is just a game. Sports gamers are the oddest breed. You never would see someone posting on a forum "How do I make it through Super Mario without jumping on the turtles" or "The whip in Castlevania is overpowered. Slider suggestions?"

That's kind of a silly comparison. The complaint here is more like a racing sim where weaving back and forth to keep your position in front of another car will cause them to automatically crash if you weave two times too many then blip the throttle. You're *supposed* to be weaving back and forth to keep your lead, and it's one of the tools given to you as you try your best to win, but if trying to do something that's moderately conceivable breaks the *simulation*, that's a problem. Plus wouldn't this lead to possible abuse online?

Also, neither turtle jumping or the whip in Castlevania is overpowered, but people complain about overpowered mechanics in all types of game all the time. It's called poor game balance, and it's not "strange" to desire mechanics to be fixed if possible for a game to be both more realistic, more balanced, and more fun as a whole.
