you agree with my statement, but complain about the way i state this...well, simply someone, who is experienced enough should speak that truth..i wouldn't mind being that person...yes, you do it for free, yes you pour your hours, but...i have the right to comment, haven't i?
let's talk more about patching...how many good patches do you see on this forum? utopia's current cf's, which are maybe the only beating EA...also, lagoa's courts...jaosming's and pdub's various addons....and...last but not least glen's work...and if adding joker's portraits - that's all...and how many vain tryouts, claiming with mouths wide open, that they beat EA? you do the math...and result will correspond to my reaction...
While I agree that Utopia's CFs are excellent, they're certainly not the only ones that beat EA's. You'll need a new pair of eyes if you haven't noticed courtney's or A_Nuke's CFs for example.
I dunno why you seem to put EA's creations on a pedestal, they've certainly done a good job on most CFs but there's plenty of room for improvement, and there's even more when it comes to courts, shoes, jerseys, interface, etc...
You're obviously entitled to your opinion but your comments come out very insulting for most of this community IMO.
about the right to judge...i...(without being big-headed) am probably one of 3-5 patchers ever, who ARE able to patch ANY of the nba live sorts (roster, jerseys, faces, shoes, courts, logos, scoreboard, auto-install, etc.) and proven it already times before..the title of the nbalive.org Patching Competition winner in the year 2004., so..if we are talking about the right to judge, I am also the right person....
Thank God you're not big-headed then...

Kudos to you and your winning history, but that doesn't make you the High Authority that can claim that 95% of the patches in this forum are done in vain, because they fail to beat their EA counterparts.
I'm sure you could care less, but you really come out as an arrogant douche with that kind of comments...
