“New Era” for NHL Series Being Teased
A new addition to the NHL 15 website is pointing towards December 8th as a significant date for the series when a 'new era' will supposedly begin. Below the tagline is a mention to follow the NHL Twitter account for HUT news but that's the extent of things. That could be a hint at the area of the game that will be affected but it's hard to believe a "new era" would describe something related to a single mode. However this is EA and all they seem to care about now is Ultimate Team so it ca...

New Trailer Looks at the Modes in Pro Evolution Soccer 2015
With just over two weeks until the game releases Konami today debuted a mode-centric trailer for PES 2015. The demo has been out for over a month now and reception has been generally positive - but it remains a tough sell as FIFA 15 will have been on the market for two months by the time it arrives and it follows the wave of sports games and faces incredibly tough competition for dollars in the gaming space in general.

Share Play May Offer Better Experience Than Some Sports Games’ Standard Online
Share Play was introduced in the PS4 system update yesterday and having spent an evening testing it out what it offers is remarkable. There's almost too much to go into for a single article so it'll be discussed at length on the next Press Row Hangout likely to be Saturday night. In one case I joined Rich Grisham and his NBA Live 15 to play a game against each other "offline" (Live doesn't have local co-op). As the host he had an ideal offline experience. As the guest I was faced with ...
