When you say "glowing", do you mean that Czar is a little too upbeat and excited where it suggests favoritism? Bro, I say no harm, no foul. You and I both know the hell Live has been through this whole decade. The fact is outside of '04 and 05, 2K has been the most dominant hoops series. Live is Back, no doubt about it. I don't think it's about sing the praises and being overexcited about Live, it's more about we finally have another option outside of 2k. There SHOULD be two titles in each pro sport that should be able to compete hard at each other. Now we can't get that in football, but we now can in basketball.
Let 2K and Live clash for supremacy. It's good for media and it's good for gaming. If OS allows a thread where we can argue about these two games in a civil/fun manner it would be awesome.
