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

<hr /></blockquote>

W T F

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?

<hr /></blockquote>

chill out guys

I have played it, I jsut didnt have the money to buy an xbox till this year

I had people who had played it help me out, and I HAD and still do PLAY ID 2003. I just dont own it

I misspoke, I should of said, "I cant wait to own ID 2004"

Chill out, and I do pay money for my web-site, as most web-masters do.

That's cool. Nothing wrong with not being able to afford an Xbox.

Your original quote said you'd never played it though.

I like your site, but if you'd never actually played the game...I'd question why you are running it

Glad that's sorted out. Did you get to play 03 much...because I am looking forward to your, wtferrel and Neo's impressions...and the more you played ID03, the better positioned you are the note if / how 04 has improved

This is one place where it got a good score and nba2k3 still got a better score then it.

<hr /></blockquote>

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.

<hr /></blockquote>

All I was saying was that it didn't just get a bad review at one place. I don't mean to be hating on the game because I like it way better than live but it's strange that a lot of websites rate a game lower then the others and people say that every single site know nothing about basketball.

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

There's a reason for that. Reviewers like Game Informer's just do not write good sports game reviews. They hated on ID 2004, which I found to be pretty funny considering they claimed the players would just stand around in the game. My question is: what game were they playing? The AI moves a lot in this game and when there is some standing around it's either due to low stamina or just a lot of bad players on the court, which makes sense. Hell, they don't even mention squat about real playsets or anything. I don't see why you trust reviews so much. Most game review sites and mags have to play through 100's of games every month, they're not going to give much time to a game that isn't visually appealing and may at first seem like the same game. If you didn't know already, reviewers do cheat from time to time when they write their reviews. Sometimes they'll just pick up a game for 10 minutes, look at the game, see nothing that seems new to them and they rush to judgement. Hell, even Gamespot.com got caught at this. They're guilty of it, it's just rare that they ever get caught, IMHO.
