Team sliders help out so much. Thank god FIFA finally decided to use them, too bad NCAA refuses to incorporate them.
I'm the same way as you. I would listen to commentary but since it's been the same I usually just turn it off. Especially when you're playing Association mode and you hear the same things about your team over and over again.
Honestly, i just like crank up the court/stadium sounds so it feels like I am playing in the game and not watching it on TV.
All valid points across the board on commentary though. Don't hype up new commentary if it's the same tired stuff.
