Big shoes to fill here. Thomas’ strongest trait is his trustworthiness. I love his viewpoints and reviews. Also does a great job quantifying his criticisms. Wherever he is headed they’ll be lucky to have him. Luckily, this is nintendolife and they’ll have the best coverage as always! @thomasbw84

Well, maybe "guts" is the wrong word to use.

I don't think a critic should be employed to destroy ones work.

Right now the game has technical difficulties. Though released, it's not a finished product. That's just the world we live and we might want to accept that. I think it would be unfair to tell the world this game is a 4/10, because next week it could be a 9/10. But many would have already moved on and would miss out on a great experience.

The staff at Nintendo Life loves gaming, no question about it. They have a responsibility to treat the industry fairly because they respect it and love it. I'm also sure that, as gamers, they are also frustrated that 2K has released a broken product.

That said, i think it might be good to appease everyone if they could give a range of scores for these situations. It's not the first time this has happened and won't be the last. They can say, "right now, this game is playing like X but we feel a patch can make it play like a X."

I'd also be interested in an editorial where they can give an opinion on releasing games like this (if they haven't already).

On another note, the only other time I can remember questioning a NL review was NBA 2K13 for Wii U. That game sukt !

Don't be so hard on NintendoLife people. On metacritic there are only 4 sites that had the guts to issue a score for the game. My guess is everyone is waiting to justify scoring the game at least 8/10.

If you thought the Wii U version was ruined by choppy/laggy animations and decided to give this game a try, let me know what you think of the game. Thanks!
