FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Web App Now Live
The Ultimate Team web app is now available for FIFA 15 after being delayed from its scheduled release yesterday. It can be found at this link.

The web app allows users to complete many of the very same tasks that are done in-game within Ultimate Team mode including setting lineups, the buying an...

FIFA 15 EA Access Day One Live Stream
Now that FIFA 15 is out through EA Access on Xbox One I'll be running some live streams over the next few days. The six hour time limit will make it difficult to do anything of substance, and since I'm buying on PS4 it doesn't make sense to really dig into any modes that I'd later have to restart, so most of the play-time will likely be Online Seasons games. Feel free to chat along during the streaming sessions! They'll be archived to watch later for those who want to check them out but c...

Desyncs Continue to Plague H2H Games in Madden NFL 15 Online Franchise
You may remember a recent declaration from EA Sports that they had fixed a desync issue in Madden NFL 15's Online Connected Franchise head-to-head games. Unfortunately that hasn't turned out to be true at all. They're still widespread and severely damaging the enjoyment and long-term potential of online leagues. Suggestions on how to avoid a desync have ranged from making sure the two users have the same visual settings (tackle cone, kicking arc, ect) to locking into a single camera angle...
