NFL 2k5 Super Bowl 46 Sim
Posted on February 3, 2012 at 01:42 PM.

It has been 8 years since NFL 2k5 was in development, and there is no doubt the game itself has changed. Passing has gone through the roof, the fullback is an endangered species, and because of this sack numbers are up as well. We've seen the wildcat look like the new NFL, and then die a pretty painless death, only to resurrect itself in the form of the Savior of the Broncos.

Yet, despite ... Read More

World Series with 20 min. Prep in MLB 11: The Show
Posted on October 27, 2011 at 03:21 PM.

Unfortunately, MLB 11: The Show does not feature a Postseason or World Series mode. However, you can recreate tonight's Game 6 with a little bit of trickery if you desire specific Fall Classic presentation. Download the latest roster and completely obliterate the ratings of some of the star players of every team BUT the Rangers and Cardinals. Jump into a new Franchise with Injuries and ... Read More
Madden 12 vs. 2k5 - A Dethroning at Last?
Posted on August 27, 2011 at 04:50 AM.
For years, despite Madden's graphics dating 2k's old-gen look to the level of paleolithic pixel-fossil since the leap to current consoles, NFL 2k5 has been a masterpiece arguably never toppled by Madden. A devout community updates rosters every year with detail that Donny Moore should be paying attention to, and gamers take their teams through a 2004 franchise mode. It is undeniable that this game was a landmark achievement, and even if Madden was able to put it almost fully to rest this year, there ... Read More

This is a shot from the Patriots vs. Packers video. I posted this to clearly observe the changes to Gameflow, the scorebug, and the camera angle.

Madden Presentation Interview (ZoKnowsGaming)
Posted on May 27, 2011 at 02:31 PM.

ZoKnowsGaming has an interesting interview/preview with the Madden developer who has really stolen the show this year, art director Mike Young. It is not long, but it touches on his intent for the game and his photography tips. But the most interesting quote comes concerning the development of the game long term:

Quote:
He said that many of the things you are seeing in this year’s game have been in the works since about 2008. He says it’s

Presentation(etc.): What Could Be...
Posted on May 25, 2011 at 03:21 PM.
In the past few years, Madden and other sports games have really improved tremendously in their presentation. We have seen a push for authentic camera representation (Both MLB Games '11, even more impressively in the upcoming Madden 12), real life statistical representation (MLB/NBA Today in 2k Games), movie makers, and even press conferences in NBA 2k11. Some commentary engines have vastly improved, but some, as of last year, remained stale and robotic (pretty much all EA Sports titles.) With visual ... Read More

Analysis: NBA Licenses Extended
Posted on May 23, 2011 at 12:54 PM.


This morning, a press release was issued confirming that the NBA has reached a new multi-year agreement with both EA and 2k for an undisclosed amount of time. While this has been the formula in place for over ten years, and a successful one at that, in some ways it is a surprise to me ... Read More

Another Madden 12 Shot
Posted on April 13, 2011 at 11:02 PM.

Here is another shot from Madden 12 that reveals the presence of cheerleaders! Long overdue! Also, look at the on field camera angle, and I wonder if this is a transition to a halftime show...

Thanks to Tengo Juengo for the tip!

This is a crop from this image that was shared by Madden producer Phil Frazier on Twitter in which I just tuned the brightness to try to clarify the image and changed the perspective to looked more square.

I pointed out a few things - what can you see?
