Deals on recently released sports games
While the big deals won't come around until Black Friday in late November, there are already a few opportunities to grab games that are only a matter of weeks old at considerable discounts. Amazon has several for well under the $60 they were not too long ago and a promotion at Toys "R" Us is worth considering if in the market for more than one EA Sports game. Amazon FIFA 16: $44 on Xbox One or $48 on PlayStation 4 Madden NFL 16: $45 on Xbox One or $49 on PlayStation 4 Pro Evolution ...

NBA 2K16 patch expected later this month; will address broken Pro-Am
With one of the game's major modes not really working the first patch for NBA 2K16 is eagerly awaited.  Finally today 2K Sports commented on the subject after being mute on it since the game came out, stating that a patch is currently in the internal testing stage with expectation it will reach first parties for certification soon. Essentially then a reasonable expectation is two weeks from this point before it will go live on PS4 and Xbox One. That's a long time to wait as Pro-Am w...

Nearly two weeks have passed and Pro-Am in NBA 2K16 still isn’t working as it should
2K Sports promoted the Pro-Am as a big feature addition for NBA 2K16. As a replacement for the Jordan Rec Center, the feature would allow up to five people to play as a team online against a team of others, with leaderboards and no more "Got Next" waiting around. The team branding would even allow for custom uniforms and arena. Unfortunately we're now on the 13th day since 2K16 released and the Pro-Am still isn't working properly. Games more often than not never start up, with the lobb...

NBA 2K16 shattering franchise sales records
2K Sports announced today that NBA 2K16 has set a new franchise record with four million copies "sold-in" after just one week of release. That means 2K has shipped four million - a stunning number - but it will take some time before retailers have "sold through" them. Digital sales of 2K16 have doubled compared to 2K15 and the number of online games that have been played have tripled year-over-year. Both are clear indications of the strength of the game's launch. Not only was antici...
