Websites that put up game reviews should have one or two guys who review nothing but sports games. The guy that reviews Call of Duty probably won't know the intricacies of the sport he's reviewing in a sports game.

Nailed it right on the head, fullmetal. That's exactly what happened. Not a bid deal just disappointing.

I hate watching/reading this review, because I know this guy got paid for that "work".

I observed the sliders in the demo a few days ago and sure enough, Default's game speed is at like 1 click while Normal/Hardcore looks to have theirs at about 3 clicks.

Was it like this in the demo, too? It felt to me like default was faster-paced than normal and hardcore.

That's a bad general assumption. I've reviewed games like Lego Harry Potter, Left 4 Dead 2, and play Call of Duty, but can review NHL 11 and other sports games as well. Just because someone reviews FPS doesn't mean they don't play and/or follow sports games.

Ign are morans , have they ever known sports? I remember numerous pathetic omissions from both 2ksports and ea when they break down the game features.
