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

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.

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

WELL PLAYED, MAUER. DO YOU HAVE MORE PICTURES? ARE YOU ON THE COVER BACK TO BACK YEARS BECAUSE A CERTAIN VP IS BLACKMAILING YOU??? lol
It's that time of year again - we FINALLY find out about MLB: The Show, my favorite of the gaming franchises, and now we have to wait 2.5 months. In this excruciatingly long amount of time, I will look over every single screenshot, every preview from ... 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

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

Playing in MJ: Creating a Legend on the Knicks facing Chicago of all teams. The Ref LOVES MJ! Wants him to come back to Chicago for good!


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):

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
