The problem is they have been saying that every year for that last 3-4 years and yet the game plays exactly the same way. This year it does seem as though changes were made but all for the worst.
4/10 was probably harsh and the reviewer pretty much admitted that. I think it was written as a wakesup call type of review. Time for 2k to get serious again because EA has taken the crown back full stop.
I basically have no loyalty to brand when it comes to sports games. I wait for the reviews to come in, read the reviews for what I want to see in a game and make my decision. This year with the way the demo plays and the inclusion of AHL teams basically had me sold on NHL 08 before the reviews (first time in a long long time) and the reviews sure aren't changing my mind any. Back from business trip on Friday aft and on the way back home I'll be picking it up.
