Just as I thought people are gonna be hard on this game. It needs to sell, so we can get another one next year. But I have a feeling that IGN, Gamespot, and places like that are gonna give it below average reviews. Like it or not it is gonna hurt the sales. It all comes back to EA buying the exclusive from the NFL. It just makes me sad that football games have come to this cut throat industry.

These guys jumped to WAY too many conclusions off of a trailer. Honestly, it was almost unprofessional.

Madden's trailers always look great compared to the actual game. 2ks always go the opposite way.

Let's wait for gameplay vids before jumping to conclusions about either game.

No offense but this is bull. The large majority of the people in this forum have said this game is going to be great based off of the trailer and pics but its unprofessional if someone says they are dissapointed based on the same thing? There is a ridiculous double standard in this forum.

No worries, my good friend. The only reviewers or authority that matter round here is US and our opinions on OS. We have long since debunked the nonsense that comes out of those websites (IGN, Gamespot, etc.). If the trusted members of OS say it sux, then i will believe it. We play for the love, not the dollar.

Aren't those OS guys, or did they move from OS to that site?

People hear and see what they want. U know that. But to draw a full conclusion off of a trailer at this point, as seasoned as we all are around here is foolish. Whether you loved it or hated it. I didnt like (wasnt floored) the trailer, but if you look in front of you or behind on the line in the store the day the game drops bet your arse that you will see me there.
