    Re: Ign Review

    Thats from the reviewer who said that ESPN NBA 2k4 was better than Live:

    "The best add-on, mini-game, or gimmick every offered in a sports game has got to be 24/7. Last year it was better than the main game of ESPN NBA Basketball and this year it is back with even more gravy."

    So now he is saying it wasn't good?

    What kind of credibility does he think he has?

        in all of steves videos not once did I see CPU post player post a string of isomotion moves like that. it's gotta be human.

        Its speculation on my part. but ive seen every video produced and not one post player has done that, thats controlled by a CPU player. i guess im hoping its not in there,

        it doesnt help he posted up for ONE FRICKIN' second . even the real shaq needs at elast 6 seconds in the lane to get in good position
        That's exactly what I'm talking about.

            Re: Ign Review

            1st he says the game is all about offense and no defense, the pro hop is 90% effective
            but he also says drawing charges is way tooo easy? HUH

            Hillary should push that (too effective) charge button against that (too effective) pro hop button and maybe that will even both out?

            Its called balance, its called strategy, its called simulation!!

            That was the worst good score review I have ever read in my life!!!!

                I think most of you guys are being too hard on the review. Unless you have the game or have played it, you don't know if that stuff is true. (bad 3 pt shooting, bad defense, etc.) However I do agree that after reading the Live and ESPN review, I've lost a lot or respect for there sports reviews. The dunk contest is awesome, but what are the bad parts? What about the gameplay this year? And in the ESPN review all he said was bad stuff, it was rated a 8.1, so what all is good?

                I do know for a fact that a lot of bigger sites (IGN, Gamespot) get paid to review games (and can influence them) and even though I do not know for a fact they get paid off to rate a game good, I wouldn't doubt it.

                    I knew the minute he wanted to suddenly try something NEW with his review of 2k5 the game was going to be meticulously disected(Like a real review of a sports game should be done-but this was not done with the competition).
                    You must be my twin Flawless. I posted this exact same post line for line on the IGN board a little over an hour ago.

                    I didn't bother watching the vids but you left out the line where I actually give props to Hil for his effort.
                    EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                                Honestly my only concern is that he said the CPU only took 5 3's in 15 games. Surely there's a 3 point attempt slider or something. If not, that could pose as a problem. Also, I've never seen such a discrepancy in scores between Gamespot and IGN (there may be but I've never seen it). Gamespot's 7.9 for LIVE and IGN's 8.9 for LIVE makes me wonder. I guess it comes down to the obvious conclusion. Each person will differ on which game they like better.
