2k hands down...! No more kenny Smith

no more Kenny Smith booooooo

love how the options for the poll are onesided and show a 2K bias jajaja

FYI gameplay is not solid

I say we just wait for the reviews. I was huge on 2k hockey and then EA decided to actually put effort into NHL08 and it blew 2k away. If EA wants to they can make the best game.

ill let GD and the rest of the pack pick it up before i purchase, With Madden there may be no need for NBA till Early Feb

Looks like I'll wait for the reviews as well. Good call Steel... But no Kenny Smith can actually hurt the game... seriously though, one of the games should have went after Chuck!! Sir Charles would sell to a core audience. The guy is a lyrical genious!!
