The Forums tell the story...

Re: The Forums tell the story...

Besides actually playing the games yourself internet forums such as this one (ie mostly "sim focused" players) is the best way to check how good/bad a game is. The professional reviews for sports games are mostly a joke and the guys playing them have no idea how the real sport is played let alone a videogame reproduction of it.

Really how do you know anything about the indivdual that reviews the game and how are you and I any different.

Re: The Forums tell the story...

Nice post one of the best I've seen in this thread. I was just like the poster goh I played 2K's basketball game for the past 3-4 years and just like most Maddden fans that get upset and complain about the gameplay being stale becuase it's the same thing every year. The reason why I played Madden and Live this year is because it felt totally new to me. I'm a huge NFL 2K5 fan but the fact is it was time for me to move on and I found something about Madden 07 that was very good. I'm on the same boat with NBA 2K7 and Live 07. I just think Live feels much more different than the previous NBA 2K games I was playing every year.

I'm starting to enjoy the game because it's fresh for me and 2K7 had become stale. I'm not saying it's a bad game because if you are playing it for the first time it will give you a totally different feeling from when I pay the game. That is most likely because I'm burnt out on the game. It's pretty much the exact opposite with Live 07. Some EA fans might just be burnt out on the game but for me it's something new because I haven't played it like 4 years. I enjoy the game and don't see why it's a such a problem for me to actually like this game.

Your post makes all the sense in the world to me that's why I think it's one the best post I've read since the release of both games.

Thank you. I am at the same place you are. I played 2K bball the past 2 1/2 years. This year's game is great, but I feel like I have played it before. Live is fresh to me and more fun. Both games are good. Live is just getting my time because it still plays in the realm of realism and it is a blast to play. Have fun man.

Re: The Forums tell the story...

I never use internet forums to decide anything,In fact I think alot of people on gaming forums actually spend more time talking about games then actually playing them. sad really

That would be stupid to omit all the useful information from forums. Spending $60.00 for a video game is a lot of money and by coming to forums I can avoid wasting my money. You can weed out the bull s**t posts and gather your information from the unbiased gamer.
