Yet again, since you're unable to properly articulate your issues with the game you have to overstate everything. The game doesn't freeze constantly. The crowd isn't completely devoid of interaction. The audio isn't exactly the same as 2K7. The framerate doesn't render the game unplayable.

And yet again, no mention of gameplay issues.

The issues you did mention are all legitimate issues, but overstated and overblown by those arguing that they make the game completely unplayable. That's all that's been being debated

And that's just us. I'll just agree to disagree w/you. Not even sure what I'm disagreeing about at this point; I've sidetracked the thread enough.

To be fair, Brinkman did flat out lie when it came to framerates. They are no where near the 60 FPS he said they were running at. And he went out and specificially mentioned how smooth it ran on the PS3, when that's no where near being close to the truth.

And no where near the venom that's leveled at the NCAA and Madden developers? Are you kidding me? Those guys get killed every year around release time. With everything from being called lazy to liars. Nice selective memory though.

Actually the audio is exactly the same as last year. I believe the Devs have even said so.

As far as framerate being unplayable or not, that varies from person to person. I can look past it, while I can see why others would not be able to. They are pretty bad at times on the PS3 for sure.

There are a lot of things you can defend on this game. It's controls, the ball physics, etc.

Audio, presentation and framerates are really not defensible topics.

LMAO @ the people who are taking shots at OS. this is the most moderated and well run site as far as gaming goes on the net. I been here long time. pretty much garbage gets called garbage and good stuff gets called good stuff i have never felt or seen an anti 2k or ea agenda with this site. up until recently most of the comments were user generated anyway and fans each have their own opinion so you cant label the site as anti 2k. lol. just ridiculous.

I think people here would kist like to see someone praise the game. I feel it deserves some type of it. Nothing from OS officially has really be positive, and the regulars on this particular forum, for the most part, are happy with the game.

I like the game for the most part. But I found the official review and the criticism leveled towards the game to be more than fair. You disagree?

I really enjoy the game, but I don't need this site or any other review to justify my enjoyment. People should ask themselves, is their enjoyment going to fade because some people like The Show or that it didn't get good reviews. All that matters is that you like the game.

Very well put.

I just don't understand why people who like The Show better spend more of their spare time in here bashing 2k8 vs playing The Show.

Why is there air? Really who cares. That's their dumb asses. More than likely its to try to get people uptight about games. We're talking about games. (sorry bad Allen Iverson).
