Anyone know why is there an "Embargo" by EA??

So does this mean one of my EA hating friends was wrong when he texted me today about Gameinformer having a review in it and it being bad?

What could be so important to keep a son away from his mother? Me: A video game Mom. NCAA 11 was released early. So, I have to get my stick skills up to par before someone releases the named players. I'll see you at Thanksgiving As for the embargo, I truly believe there holding something out on us. What that something is I have no idea. But, I definitely think theres something else.

Don't do that to yourself. They're not holding out. This is a standard industry practice.

did he say what the review was for, PS3/360 or the iPhone/iPad? the iPhone/iPad version of NCAA 11 is already out I believe. not sure if Gameinformer even reviews those kind of games though.

they don't. I got my gameinformer like 2 weeks ago, there isn't another one until mid-july i think.

Okay I think I just confirmed my friend is an arse. I caught him in it. Move along nothing to see here! He lost it when I questioned him for the embargo and and why GI would be allowed to review....and his response was "because pre-orders were bad" lmao I said this is a sports game not a new IP.

Here's a thought...why the F*** are we concerned with embargos here on OS?!?! This is technically NOT a media outlet between us but a public forum of discussion. It's likely that 99.9% of us who were going to buy it will still buy it REGARDLESS of what the early players say. SPILL THE BEANS ALREADY!!
