I am really hoping we get some more vids this week.. It's coming down to crunch time... Hopefully one of the OS vets can get the game early so we can get some impressions going!!!

Well Scott will be playing the game hands on this Friday he said, so he'll be giving us some impressions soon. How biased or unbiased they will be remains to be seen, but at least he'll be able to say he has played the game before it was released.

Yeah I will be honest. But my honest will probably be difference than other. I like 2K9. I don't know why. I just did. I had a blast with it. The one thing that was hard was the graphics. Now that the graphics are fixed. I am happy. I hope the sliders work for you guys. And playing a game 5 day earlier is not that big of a deal. Though I am still pumped to go. Never did anything like this before.

I can usually count on 2k not to screw simple things like that up, especially after having it right for years.

If the reviews are solid and there aren't game-breaking problems, I may look for it on e-bay or in the used bin in December.

The only problem I have is that magazine reviews and such are based on limited playing time, so alot of the flaws in a game aren't pointed out. Take NHL09 for example, if all those flaws that plagued the game upon release were noticed by reviewers, do you really think the game would have gotten high 8 scores? Nope, but 2K would fare far worse as well. Point is, to try and wait and catch some solid reviews from people that spent time with the game and can catch most of the flaws. Thats my opinion on how I personally would go about it if I was on the fence.

Reviews of sports games are generally something you want to take with a grain of salt. It's the same with any game type that you're really into.

For example, I love rhythm games. I've spent more money than I'm willing to admit on them. I know that (in my mind) Rock Band is better than Guitar Hero for a number of reasons. Reviewers give them both similar scores because they're pretty and have songs in them. But, after hundreds of hours of gameplay, I prefer Rock Band for it's intuitive charts, nice presentation, and good visual response.. among other things.

Reviewers will never portray this in a review because what they do is only really skin deep. If you're going to play a game for hundreds of hours it's always best to rent it and give it the time for yourself.

No review can tell you how you'll feel about a game after sinking hundreds of hours into it.

In short, I agree lol
