    Re: Ign Review

    Live's gameplay got a 9, ESPN's a 7.

    Regardless of what these reviewers are writing in words, the difference between a 7 and a 9 is worrysome..

    Because it's all about gameplay IMO. Regardless of the validity of the review, I am going to be very curious about how others that play the game think the gameplay is.
    Enjoy football? Enjoy Goal Line Blitz!

And if it does suck, then we still have live which is getting decent reviews.
      Hilary lost my respect after saying that madden had better animations than espn he is slowly becoming an ea fanboy who hides behind saying hes a segafan, no doubt ea fanboys will run with that review to the bank. Remember the ign reviewers love the allstar break, which should be in nba jam not nba live that has no business in a so-called sim game when lebron james does 3 cart-wheels 2 back flips throws the ball off the backboard and then dunks it in a real dunk contest thats when ill buy live.

          Thing is... from what he said about the game I pretty much agree with it. Its just that the good may outweigh the bad and also if those are the problems than live shouldnt get a better score. And they cant use the excuse "different reviewer" because its the same site and people see them as comparative scores.

          From the review though, my biggest concern would be defensive control. Before I said I wanted defensive crouch, but in reality I just want better control.

              I think gamespot sux with there sports reviews anyway, they seem to favor ESPN way too much. Its also funny to me that all of a sudden all those people who said that IGN would give ESPN like 9.0 or in the 9's are nowhere to be found, and now that IGN gave ESPN a 8.1 everyone's is saying I don't care what IGN says because this and that ect, ect.... Some of you guys make me laugh. Now that IGN gave ESPN a lower score then LIVE no one cares for IGN now.

                  First of all, Hillary sucks. Secondly, I'm almost convinced IGN has some kind of "relationship" (if you know what I mean) with EA Sports. First Madden is better than ESPN 2K5 and now NBA LIVE is apparently MUCH better than ESPN 2K5. I'm suprised they didn't say NHL 2005 was the best hockey game on the market. I honestly wonder if EA puts a few bucks in IGN's pocket to give a favorable review. LOL.

                      This was one of the things that was in Live 04 and they should've just left it there. Suction double-teaming.



                      This was in 2K4, but I NEVER noticed this in the videos.




                      Alright, unless this guy is straight up lying, WHAT THE HELL GIVES with this review? He trashed it.

                      I'll make my own determination tomorrow, but this is not a good look. At all.
                      Watch the video closely. You will see that he was backing down Andre Miller but that guy stopped the post move and spun, the spin was way too fast for shaq to do, but at least he missed the shot.

                          One more thing, you can tell that sliders were never adjusted simply for the fact that he said the CPU took only 5 3pointers in 15 games.

                              You can say what you would like about Hilary's credibility- I also think he can be a good at times, however if what he says is indeed true, this game is NOT a sim....

                              -He confirms questionable shots by the AI. 5 three's in 3 games? Oh my.

                              -Pro Hop scores 90% of the time...not good.

                              -Game seems all about offense...definitely not good.

                              I don't look so much at the score as I do these telling points.
