    Earlier I posted up the team ratings for overall, offense, and defense in NCAA Football 11. Now here is a list of what offensive style has been assigned to each team. Again sorry for the handful of schools that were missed in the As. There are eight different types of offenses. By far the two most popular are Pro and Spread, with only a couple teams running the Option, Pistol, and Run and Shoot. As always feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments! (more…)...

    Two films on completely different paths arrive at the box office this weekend. Toy Story 3 is certain to be huge and the buzz is astoundingly high, while Jonah Hex is expected to bomb with buzz that couldn't be much worse. 15 years after the original and 11 years after the sequel Toy Story 3 is storming theaters with hopes of being a record breaker. It will have a chance to be the biggest June opening ever. The record is currently held by last year's Transformers 2 with $108 million and in ...

    Be a Pro mode was rolled out in NBA Live 09 though just in name and not in terms of content. It was simply one-off games taking control of a current NBA player and was better thought of as a practice mode for Online Team Play. There was no character creation or progression involved and no structure to it beyond just being simple play now games. We can basically forget about all that though as a true Be a Pro mode, similar in nature to the one found in the NHL or FIFA series, will arrive in ...

    The first photo from the Dreamworks film Real Steel has arrived providing an opportunity to get at least a glimpse at how the futuristic film will look. In Real Steel the year is 2020 with boxing between humans having been outlawed and replaced by combat between giant robots. Hugh Jackman stars as a former boxer turned trainer/promoter that rescues a robot named Atom from a junkyard and enters it in the World Robot Boxing League. Motion-capture animation is used for when the machines are fight...

    2K Sports has released the first three screenshots for NBA 2K11. They feature Kobe Bryant, Josh Smith, and Kevin Garnett with Dwight Howard. Those screens can be seen by continuing on or in larger form in the gallery. In the first piece of gameplay related news Operation Sports is reporting that Isomotion has been scrapped in favor of a new dribbling mechanic which has yet to be detailed. Isomotion has always personally been a barrier in switching between the two basketball games and my ultima...
