Today the backwards compatibility has been activated along with the significant "New Xbox One Experience" console update. Other features introduced with the update include a new home screen, guide, community section and store, plus avatars, the ability to remap buttons on the controller...

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is only backwards compatible sports game on Xbox One
Today Microsoft revealed the initial list of games receiving backwards compatibility on Xbox One when the functionality launches for the system on Thursday. As expected the sports gaming genre has little representation with only one game in the mix. NBA Jam: On Fire Edition will be available with the first batch of games. Originally released November 2011, OFE was a $15 downloadable-only title. It was fairly well received, with 85/81 on Metacritic, but also followed only a year after t...

First in-season roster update for NBA 2K16
2K Sports today released the first roster update for NBA 2K16 that takes into account performance from regular season games. The Warriors didn't receive any upgrades despite a record-setting start, nor did the Rockets receive any downgrades after getting blown out in their first three games before bouncing back last night. Considering the season is so young it's not surprising that only a handful of players were moved up or down. Kobe Bryant is the player with the highest profile to be...

With Black Friday still over three weeks away, an opportunity to pick up NBA 2K16 at a discount before then has popped up today. Amazon has the game for $47 on PS4 and Xbox One. 2K16 has been out now for over a month now and opinions on the game really haven't changed. It's arguably the most impressively assembled sports game ever released. The Michael Jordan Special Edition was also offered for $20 off earlier today as a lightning deal but that has now expired.
