    Earlier today an NBA 2K14 gameplay video recorded off-screen showed for the first time the presence of on-court interviews at halftime and post-game. Now 2K Sports has released an official trailer showing off the new addition for the Xbox One and PS4 version of the game and most impressively they utilize the real audio from actual interviews that have taken place with players and coaches.  (more…)...

    NBA 2K14 on the PS4 and Xbox One introduces MyGM mode - which appears to adopt many of the same ideas featured in Madden's Connected Franchise - replacing Association which had gone without much of anything in the way of improvements in recent years. 2K Sports today confirmed that there is no online component to MyGM while PS4 trophies reveal that Online Leagues are back.  (more…)...

    NBA 2K14 for the PlayStation 4 is reaching stores this week and retailers have the go ahead to sell copies immediately. That means additional details on the game thanks to the back of the box feature descriptions. That we're getting actual news on the game from the back of the box a week before the new console releases is fairly mind-boggling but is indicative of just how down to the wire information will be arriving on all the sports titles for launch.  (more…)...

    Of all the areas the new Ignite Engine was supposed to be of benefit to Madden NFL 25 on Xbox One and PS4, the one that has demonstrated the least in the way of dividends in all the footage to date is "Living Worlds". Elements that were said to be improved but have not appeared to be so include the same sparsely populated and static sidelines with generic players, completely disconnected cut scene celebrations, crowds that have numerous replicated fans in each small area and lack diversit...

    Despite getting the most hands-on exposure of the next-gen sports games prior to release - given its appearances at conventions (which has also brought gameplay videos) and Microsoft's Xbox One road tour - EA Sports has yet to go deep into the features that separate FIFA 14 from its current-gen versions. The recent trailer further outlined them but offered little substance. With just over a week to go until the PS4 arrives the company has released the first of four planned producer videos...

    While post-release patch support has seemed to take a back seat with the other two current-gen sports games that will be out on PS4 and Xbox One next week, a third patch for FIFA 14 will go live on the Xbox 360 and PS3 within the next few days. The latest update seems targeted at addressing annoyances such as laggy subbing in Career mode, random crashes, and clashing kits.  (more…)...
