He was defending how the game 'looked' in that final slide instead of letting us form our own opinion. I just like the neutral Czar, because he's basically declaring a winner before seeing the other game this year.

C'mon man -- that's just reaching big time......

Why let you form your own opinion on something when you can get the facts straight from the horses mouth? If you formed your own opinion, ultimitely you'd be wrong...

You ask the developers about certain issues in the game and they all say "That will be fixed by release" or "We will fix that in the first patch". You take their word for it and downplay the issues because you have been assured they would be fixed. Ive seen it with past 2k games. Pared saw it last year with Live. I see nothing wrong with someone questioning a preview as long as they arent disrespectful.

Bingo.

The lack of issues being addressed come release comes off as very disappointing. But what Aaron described happens to a "T." Whether it be with EA, 2k or Sony.

Ultimately you, the gamer, has to make your own decision. We're just here to help you along the way and help you "get your fix."

I just think that Da Czar did a positives only video and didn't give us both sides of the coin. I also felt like this wasn't a true "Da Czar" video because of how he sounded at the end with his little disclaimer and "LIVE IS BACK" thing. And the reason my sig isn't updated is because I don't slave over it all day. P.S... You proved my point, why in the first place is Da Czar now doing LIVE only videos? That's all I'm asking. YOU are the one who read into my post. I tried to tread really lightly with my first post but you obviously took some imaginary bait that I laid out there. LIVE looks fantastic and I look forward to the Demo. Is that good enough for you? My question was directed at Da Czar, not NBA LIVE!!!! Back to your regularly scheduled program everyone.

Why is he only doing LIVE videos? Because we thought to bring him up here. 2K is MORE than welcome to do videos with Czar...

However this particular guy evan's post with some sort of conspiracy tone to it was only made more amusing when I noticed the "wishlist". Don't see the irony in that??? czar has said it over and over though, that he's not going to touch the comparisons until he can play the other game. He's also said something to the effect of not wanting to sound so "glowing" in his assesment. But it's cool. I hope you come back with a "glowing" review of 2k. My point was that Im not fanboying any of these games. Im just a hoops junkie.

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.

Well that answers that, any reasonable person would've known that's the case.

These boards are starting to heat up, it's almost like it Red Sox/Yankees haha

It would be nice, however, the norm on OS has become: opinion = fact

I knew that first post was going to get me in trouble... haha....

Let me clarify. MY previous experience with Da Czar is his Battleground videos were there was some sort of comparing going on.

Like it or not, this guy has major respect from all of the basketball gamers including myself. This video was great and definitely got me excited for LIVE's comeback, but I simply prefer a more neutral approach to his videos.

This one was just a little too much BUZZ for me.

I plan on getting both games right now which will be the first time I've ever done this with a video game competition.
