Sure, some monster dunks make a nice loud clank in real life. But the problem in Live is that almost every dunk sounds like a nuclear bomb going off. It happens whether it's a simple dunk from just under the rim, or a nasty freethrow line takeoff.
It would have been nice if EA included a simple toggle for this (as was asked for in several user wish lists), or have the BOOM in arcade mode only. Having an extra-loud noise for particularly forceful dunks would be cool, but hearing it every time reduces the realism of the game and diminishes the cool-factor of a nice slam dunk.
