I don't want to start a riot between 2k and EA fans but for being a huge fan of EA the past dozen years it just doesn't seem they have ever got sports right. (keep in mind I am mainly talking in the area of football and basketball because that is where I have the most knowledge but I would like to hear about the other sports as well. EA sports games have come down to just be arcadey compared to 2k sports' games. For years 2k has been the standard for simulation basketball and live has been a complete ... Read More

EA raises the bar with Fight Night Round 4

Played the demo for fight night round 4 last night and was very impressed. Physics-based gameplay in the next-gen for boxing is finally here, let's hope Madden can follow suit... Graphics are second to none, i felt life i was watching a pre-rendered cg video during the live gameplay!
On the downside, controls are poor but i've read EA is already addressing the issue by adding face button punching which the demo lacks. The other area that was disappointing was the sound effects. ... Read More

i am a football enthusiast and avid gamer so mixing the two to make video game football is a huge passion of mine. i have spent every day since the first shred of new information about Madden 10 was released researching the internet and any other source for the details on the next installment hoping and praying for a legitimate football sim to play the way i did on last gen. ian cummings mission statement to create the football simulation that gamers like me have been dying for was enough to pull ...
