in the 2k4 version, the view switches to 3rd person when you do a taunt animation....
this really bugs me because it takes ages for it to switch back to normal view because you have to let go of the keyboard completely for the view to get back to normal. when in 3rd person, the passes and shots go in random directions which totally sucks if you suddenly receive the ball while bragging.
I can understand why you want such a feature, but since its possible to do ourselves through double binds, i dont think it should be default.
or at least make a menu option that asks whether you want the view to change...
Ya it was made so people couldn't lame by doing taunt anims while charging up a shot ^^;
And I guess seeing as it's kind of functional or at least not less functional, it was a good choice.
During a taunt anim you can't tell where a player is aiming. This was being abused, so the change to 3rd person, in conjunction with shooting where the gun is pointed, was added.
The big thing that surprises me is no one has abused the aim thing. Pressing the right taunt and releasing at the right time means you can shoot sideways etc.
Would be a useful trick to learn, if really lame too. ^^

but abusing the taunt to aim another way is really inaccurate, too hard to learn the right timing + aiming, + pressing that key at the right moment....
