    Share Play was introduced in the PS4 system update yesterday and having spent an evening testing it out what it offers is remarkable. There's almost too much to go into for a single article so it'll be discussed at length on the next Press Row Hangout likely to be Saturday night. In one case I joined Rich Grisham and his NBA Live 15 to play a game against each other "offline" (Live doesn't have local co-op). As the host he had an ideal offline experience. As the guest I was faced with ...

    Among the items listed in the day one patch for NBA Live 15 are updated player faces for four specific players. I went in and grabbed three of them for comparison sake to see just how improved the faces are from those that shipped with the game. Joakim Noah looks the most different with changes more subtle to Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony. Check out the comparison images below by clicking the thumbnails and leave your observations in the comments!           ...

It went out today on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and seems to address spamming and balancing issues that were being exploited in online fights.  (more…)...

It's likely the culmination of work done over the weeks that the game was delayed and addresses primarily visual details but also involves some minor gameplay adjustments. Included too is a roster update which is fitting and necessary as the season begins tonight. ♦Updated scanned heads for: Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Kawhi Leonard, Carmelo Anthony ♦Updated San Antonio Spurs championship ...

    Sony released the big 2.00 software update for the PS4 earlier today. Among the new features and improvements is Share Play, which was announced first at the original system reveal nearly two years ago, and again highlighted at E3 over the summer. Share Play is naturally well-suited for use with sports games which makes it even more exciting.
