You are right. It's not that bad, but it's just not as great as it should be either though. But I'm not going to pass final judgment until I see what VC does with the next patch. That's the only thing that's keeping me from going back to 2K7 right now or getting The Show for PS2. But if they can iron out the kinks, I'll stick with it and give it a high 7 or maybe even an 8.0 if they really work some mojo with that patch. We'll see.
