I personally disable it, but if it gets you to enjoy the game more, who cares what anyone else thinks? There was recently a big Metallica update. I think the thing that had the most impact was changing factory default difficulty. I'm pretty sure I could have changed the settings to make it the same or similar before the update but would never consider it. With the new update I can complete the game, and I find it more enjoyable. Why do I have to wait for Stern to tell me what settings are ok to use? It makes no sense. All those settings are in there for a reason. I will probably stay stubborn and not mess with the factory default.... unless ball save is off by default.
