Are reviewers actually playing the game?

This game has so many problems from CPU blowing up teams on association and my player, defense feels like u are skating on ice, heat check missing, ect. These are thing reviewers could of easily spotted but made no mention. Makes me think these ppl are not even playing enough games before reviewing. If you played 2K11 a lot like the IGN reviewer said he should of mentioned all the flaws instead of only the weird face remark.

Re: Are reviewers actually playing the game?

I think the game does have some flaws but I have yet to experience the defense skating on ice thing. The heat check thing is not that big of a deal in my opinion to warrant the rating they dish out to be any less than what they did.

The only major issue for me with this game is the CPU blowing up teams in MP and Association.

You shouldn't really take any review from a major website seriously. They are based on a few days to a week of gameplay. You cannot judge a game based on that short amount of time. It usually takes a month or two, to see the game in its fullness, warts and all.

And we know you're unbiased, right, Live/Elite fan?

Dude was crapping on NBA 2K on the Live board, ya'll.

Re: Are reviewers actually playing the game?

I doubt reviewers played much of the game, they bought into the hype too much and just said "herp derp, this is the gratest game evar it's got legends and stuff cool". They don't know much about gameplay they just get sucked in by presentation and stuff. Also some reviewers do get payed to give high reviews. 2k12 is close to being great but the horrible passing and unrealistic ai reflexes and cheating really can kill the mood.

Also i've noticed that while the 2k forums are full of hate, it seems like this place is full of blind praise. It's like some people work for 2k, where's the happy medium?

I do find once you learn the controls it's easier to score on the defense(and not in a good way).
