deflections, blocks, and fantasy draft >=[

These 2 things might be something minor, but they bug the hell out of me and I wait every year for them to fix it and every year they go unfixed.
When you deflect an a pass on defense and it goes out of bounds, you are credited with a turnover. This should never be a turnover in a real life, but if you check the stats after this happens, you will get a turnover. When you block a shot and that flies out of bounds, that will also count as a turnover against you in this game..
I don't know if anyone has ever played any online fantasy sports. Say there are 10 people in your league. If you draft first in the first round, the order is reversed and you draft last in the 2nd round, and then first again in the 3rd round and so on. Therefore you would end up picking 1st, 20th, 21st, 40th, etc. The person who drafts last in the first round would end up drafting 10th, 11th, 30th, 31st, etc. However, in NBA Live, ever since they have had fantasy draft. Whatever order you pick in the first round, that is the order you pick in each subsequent round. That is so messed up. So if you pick 1st, you pick 1st out of each round. If you pick 30th, you pick 30th out of each round and end up with a team of scrubs. This makes the teams unbalanced and takes the fun out of playing fantasy draft...I don't know if anyone understands what I'm saying because I didn't describe it well enough...but it would NOT be hard at all to fix the fantasy draft...but each year EA focuses on adding crap and doesn't care about customer input about fixing existing issues...

...and don't forget the shots close to the rim that go off the back of the backboard for an out of bounds call. this has been a problem since LIVE 95!!!

ugh. good point. I forgot about that, even though it's happened to me or the computer 10 times since I've gotten the game 1 day ago.
