Sorry to all of you who may have bet money on the Steelers because both the Madden sim AND my sim picked them. I always thought Green Bay is a heck of a team, and they proved it tonight.

For 3 quarters, I chuckled. The game went very similarly to my simulation, with Green Bay entering the half with an 11 point lead. Pittsburgh had a tremendous 4th quarter, minus the missed 52 yard field goal. However, first play of the 4th quarter, Clay Matthews broke the cycle, making a huge play ... Read More

For all of you out there who are wondering what sliders I used for my NFL 2k5 Super Bowl sim:

1: A pic with my CPU difficulty modifiers:

2.These settings are not perfect. Too many interceptions still happen with the slider at 0, but it is worth favoring the defense it because the yardage total when playing with real No. of plays (8-10 min quarters) is pretty good.

I simmed the upcoming Super Bowl 45 in NFL 2k5 with updated rosters. Note the fact that simulations that I had done of Jets games from the playoffs ended up being very close to the real games (I am a Jets fan, but I did NOT put any bias for or against the Steelers...) (Jets 19 Colts 17, real score Jets 17 Colts 16, Jets 31 Patriots 24, real score Jets 28 Patriots 21, Steelers 24 Jets 21, real score ... Read More

This year, Backbreaker was an upstart football game that tried to challenge EA's dominance and create a game that, even if it wasn't a blockbuster due to the lack of any NFL license, was a strong enough game that it would catch hold on the hardcore gamers tirelessly waiting for the NFL 2k12 that will never happen and would spread through word of mouth. Despite the valiant three year effort by Natural Motion, the game was neither, both despite and because of its revolutionary real-time physics engine, ... Read More

NOTE: This is a parody!

It has been two and a half years since the release of NFL Head Coach 09, a great sim game that didn't sell well but is the envy of Madden's Franchise mode. The game's downfall was its lack of accessibility, and without the thrill of controlling a 92 yard pass or breaking 10 tackles, there wasn't much excitement surrounding the game.

But what if EA took a risk and revived NFL Head Coach? In order for it to sell, it would need star power and a ... Read More

2005 and 2010 were both considered one of the strongest years for sports gaming (that is, all the games called 2005 vs. all the games that came out in the 2010 calendar year.) You know what else? They were both pretty crappy years for Brett Favre ('05), ('10). He also aged quite a bit, and although he was the same TD-hurling, INT G-O-A-Ting fire-stormer, there was more grey in his beard. I think if ... Read More

Ever since patch 1 was released this week, I have had a big problem in NBA 2k11 with intentional fouls not working (on PS3). Whenever I hit the select button when the clock is winding down, even close to the opponent, nothing happens (this has lead to a few losses that probably could have been reversed with the INT foul.) Also, I have noticed CPU opponents have not tried the intentional foul at all, even in obvious situations. Anyone else having this problem???

(Winslow Townson/AP)

This hit cost Brandon Meriweather $50k, and probably should have cost him time in the "sin bin" had the NFL's new safety policies been enforced before week 6. A series of brutal attacks in a year in which around 75% of the league seems to have had a concussion is really changing opinion over brutal head injuries that can be preventable. "Madden" is a video game that is basically ... Read More

A few days ago, Ian Cummings, creative director of Madden, debated Pastapadre on Twitter about implementing Surprise Onside Kicks in Madden 12 (since it played a key part in Super Bowl 44 and was used several times recently):

Hi, OS - Just wanted to let you know that I deleted my recent post parodying NBA Elite 12. My apologies to any who were offended.

Previously, I wrote my ideas for MLB 2k11 (NOT) based on the almost galactic amount of positive feedback for NBA 2K11 (offline only, at least.) 2K may definitely try to re-create their success in the other sports, but what about EA? Can you imagine Madden 12 with Joe Montana, Emmitt Smith, or Jerry Rice on the cover with modes dedicated to them? The results could be fantastic, but knowing the Madden developers, they would probably steal a concept like the MJ classic stuff and attempt to change it ... Read More

The MLB 2K series hit the ultimate low in 2009, becoming easily the worst sports game of this generation (maybe aside from the never-to-be NBA Elite 11.) In 2010, they made an even greater leap than NBA 10-11 in my opinion, though because the starting package was so atrocious, this didn't mean much for MLB 10. The series is definitely on the rise, and is just starting to provide a fairly acceptable ... Read More
