    Re: Think IGN was paid off by EA?

    as a member of IGN, i must say IGN was bribed...by EA.

    in the review, u can see how bad the game is and they still praise the game like its as good as NBA2k.

    its wrong !

      How about we all send emails and blast their message boards with complaints, then they'll get the picture!

        I think you guys are forgetting two things.

        1. They are not comparing the game side by side. They are comparing them to their own previous versions - hence the scores reflect that.

        2. They were reviewed by 2 completely different people.



        www.gamerankings.com has the best overall analysis and ratings of games because it comes from alot of reviews, not just one. The composite picture usually is the right one.

          Maybe they are rating NBA Live as a videogame. If it's a fun game then it gets a good score. Does it have to be an accurate sim to get a good score?

            That's a good idea although nba live 2003 it's not the only game that gets this kind of "special treatment".Anyone else that agrees with aiaimvp's idea?

              I honestly don't think IGN was paid off. I think more like the review was "preapproved". Notice how ads for NBA Live are plastered all over IGN? I can see a big company like EA threatening to pull those ads unless the review was to their liking or at least, "sterilized". Ad space like that on a website = BIG $.

              Unfortunately, people who don't know any better rely on sites like IGN to make their purchase decisions. Sad, really.

                  Funny thing is, when NBA Live 2004 comes out, they'll say in that review that EA has finally fixed that horrible NBA Live 2003... deja vu, with a big NBA Live 2004 advertisement beside it. I can see it now.

                        Of course they are getting paid, Look at all the EA Live advertisements even in the NBA2K3 review pages.

                        Any company will kiss *** if the money is there. It looks like EA paid IGN a good amount of money to have all those Live advertisements on their site. And If they want more advertisement Money for next year. They will also make Live sound as good as NBA2K3 in their reviews.
