NBA 2K14's post launch failure is a good thing for the future of sports games and let me tell you why. Imagine a world in which 2K14 had a flawless launch. No server issues, no corrupt save issues, no crashes to the dashboard, and no broken features. As a gamer this sounds like basketball ... Read More

At some point we are all guilty of it. "Slider-itus". A common condition where sports gamers tweak and tinker with sliders, seeking that perfect balance to the point that we spend more time testing than actually playing. I'm certainly no exception, I've suffered from "slider-itus" many times myself. However, in this blog I'd like to talk a little bit about what sliders could be added to the Madden franchise in order to give users a bit ... Read More

On June 1st of 2009, EA Sports released Teambuilder for NCAA Football 10. EA described it as follows: "TeamBuilder is a web-based create-a-school feature that allows anyone with Internet access to log on to teambuilder.easports.com to create and share schools with the rest of the NCAA Football ... community".
At the time, this was a real innovation in the EA football series. Over 100,000 user created teams were available ... Read More

The following tips are intended as general tips and do not contain any high level strategies or specific 'money' option plays. The additions to NCAA 14 in the option game make it a much more viable game plan and those who haven't had much experience running the option in past years, may find some value here.
4. Get familiar with the controls - I know this sounds like common sense, but particularly with this year's ... Read More

A lot of Madden NFL 25 news today, as well as Microsoft's XBOX ONE reveal. Starting with the Microsoft event, we didn't really get anything concrete for Madden, but we did hear about a renewed focus on AI and a dynamic crowd experience for next-gen. Two things that are sorely lacking from this generation's Madden games. We should learn a lot more, including some real information at E3 in June.
We also got news on ... Read More

Pittsburgh had a great draft, which should help them in Madden NFL 25 later this year.
Everyone who has ever picked up and played a copy of Madden NFL Football knows that certain positions are more valuable than others inside the game. Skill position players usually reign supreme. With that knowledge, let's take a look at some NFL Draft winners and some losers, Madden style.
Winners

The Madden NFL franchise faces many challenges in convincing former Madden-ites, console gamers, and long-time skeptics alike that the game will be a significant upgrade on next-gen platforms. The goodwill that Madden had created during the PS2/XBox era is gone for many after several years of what some fans call disappointing releases from EA Sports.
EA and Tiburon now find themselves in the unenviable spot ... Read More

5. Spread 'em out!
With the new spread offenses that are coming into popularity thanks in no small part to potential Madden NFL 25 cover boy Colin Kaepernick and similar quarterbacks, the offensive playbooks desperately need an overhaul. We've had very few changes in this department for years and it's even worse in the defensive playbooks. You simply can't replicate some of the more dynamic option attacks on offense ... Read More

NFL Free Agency kicks off March 12 and that means it's time to look at the top players available this offseason. Where these players sign will have significant carry over for gamers in Madden NFL 25, great players give the user the power to enhance defensive schemes and add new offensive options. There's no need to mention free agents who aren't going anywhere, either by re-signing with their current team or being slapped ... Read More

This year I am thankful for some really amazing sports games, both new and old.
Let's start with the new.
I am thankful for NBA 2K13, especially in the absence of competition. I'm thankful that 2K Sports and Visual Concepts has given NBA 2K13 the care and attention that a proper NBA simulation deserves; and in the process have made a sports game of the year candidate.
I am thankful ... Read More
