    Re: More dumb *** reviewers pretending that they know Basketball

    yeah, most of the reviews for ID 2003 were utter crap. most of them just said the game was the same as last year. and i was like.. "you`ve got to be kidding me!"

    i think last years NBA live 2003 has ruined basketball games, PERIOD! BB games are going to get less and less realistic because of live`s success. the easily subdued masses will just fall for the hype of arcadish "freestyle" gameplay and gamers that prefer a basketball sim will just have to suffer and play ID, which is not a bad thing but it would be nice to see games like ID on top!

    it SUCKS that freestyle was introduced to the sports gaming world! instead of playing an actual game of basketball players are now hypnotically sucked into the jive *** streetball style of nba live. all we can do is hope that EA stops ruining basketball games and decides to make a sim but until people stop buying it, i doubt they will. and all of this is reflected in most of the basketball reviews that we see on the net. its a shame really.

      Awkwardly enough, I have never played ID, even though I ran the site for the game

      so when I get 2004 this week, I will give you a unbiased review

      Now that I think about it, I haven’t played a b-ball game since NBA Live 2002

      No disrespect, but you RUN an ID site... and haven't played it?????????

      That's insane.

      Are you paid to do so? If so...your opinions not worth much IMO.

      I love the game...but you need to play it to have a freaking opinion

      You are joking , right?

            Actually.......I've pretty much come to the conclusion that neither Gamespot, IGN, Game Informer, EGM, OXM, and Gamepro has any reviewers that know a damned thing about Basketball. For one, you'll never hear them say anthing about the A.I. Oh wait, actually they have said that ESPN Basketball has great A.I. and is the most realistic BBall game. [Now I'm going to be immature] What-fu-##-ing-ever! Here, have some brews. It's a much healthier way to get fu##ed up rather than taking those hard drugs.

            Seriously. ID was the only Basketball game that instituted player tendancies. No review even mentions that. It was the only game before this year's Live (and ID 2003 still does this better than this year's Live) that had true Team Tendancies and play sets. It's the only game that uses screens away from the ball and has a proper execution of motion offenses or any type of offense that uses a lot of off-the-ball player movment. It's the only BBall game where the computer is smart enough to cut through an open lane when their team-mate is being double teamed.

            Do those things matter? Yea, it does if you want realistic playing BBall. ESPN has the nicely replicated free throw routines and it's kind of cool seeing our mascot on the side lines and the ESPN presentation is nice however when I see non-dunkers run down the lane and tomohawk the ball on my big men or Mutombo come down the court on a fast break and pull up for the mid range jumper and then the next time he does a cross over and then takes the ball to the rack and dunk like a guard.....well that's not realistic. Neither is 4 play sets. Neither is horrible A.I. that won't even try to tie the game when they are down by 3 with 5 seconds left. Neither is the horrible spacing that makes you pull your hair out.

            Most guys here won't get the significance of what you just said...seems the ESPN guys aimed at the kids this year.

            Most of the NBA junkies know exactly what you mean though

                              your presence here on OS leads me to believe that you have some faith in the review crew here.

                              I think you would agree that Steve knows what he's talking about.

                              Different reviewers. Why do you even post here? You're not going to get it, so why do you try to stir up trouble?

                              I read the gameinformer review. They never even liked ID before, and claimed it had more standing around than any other game , so I'll take their review for what it is: BS.
