Are the OS guys going to get an early copy for review?

We can badger EA until we're blue in the face, but it's entirely up to them as to when they ship us a beta or reviewable copy. We've considered changing the site's name to Operation EA Sports. Perhaps then we'll be fortunate enough.

Hey, I'm just glad to hear you guys are trying. As far as I know, the situation hadn't been commented on before this. OS had a copy a couple of years ago pretty early and maybe the years before that too. I guess I just find it really hard to believe OS doesn't have one contact at EA that they are in with to send them a copy of the game early. Thanks for the responses.

If they dont provide us with a preview copy, there is no risk and they wont potentially lose any customers. EA is past the point of having to win over customers.

Thats why I always visit OS, post, and have donated. Best sports gaming site in existance. Honest opinions, great info, and entertaining posters,lol.

Geez guys, there is a simple explanation?!?

The copy for OS likely shipped today and will arrive either tonight or tomorrow. Unfortunately, they won't be allowed to open it or offer any impressions until the 18th. duh?

Amen,

I've been to dozens of other sports gaming sites and forums and they are just horrible in comparison.

If I could only visit one site ever it would have to be OS.

I honestly think 2k/VC wants their games to be improved and dont mind gamers being totally honest.

I enjoyed NBA 2K and Topspin, but I hated MLB 2K and their disgrace of a college football game.

I am a EA Fan but not a 2K *****.

I loved Madden since the Genesis dayz fam, EA Franchise / Dynasty is untouched IMO.
