Several deals on sports games as Microsoft gets head start on Black Friday
Black Friday is now just a week away and as always seems to be the case companies are anxious to roll out the deals as early as they can to capitalize on the frenzy and beat others to the punch. Microsoft has done that by pushing their deals live now, and among a large list of games that have gone on sale are several of this year's sports titles.Ă‚Â The deals require an Xbox Live subscription. Those with an EA Access subscription should also receive an additional 10% off.
Keeping in mind ...
First NHL 18 digital deal is found on PS4
Both Madden NFL 18 and NBA Live 18 have already had deals offered through a variety of retailers and now NHL 18 joins them in being available at a discount - but only on PlayStation 4 for now. Surprisingly this is a digital deal on the game and can be had through the PlayStation Store or by purchasing a code through Amazon for $40.
This particular deal is worth considering given that NHL doesn't tend to get the deep discounts that other annual sports titles do for Black Friday which is no...
First retailer deals for Madden NFL 18
Earlier this week multiple retailers began offering a deal on NBA Live 18 and now another EA Sports title can be had at a discounted price. Both Amazon (though exclusive Prime members) and Gamestop are currently offering Madden NFL 18 for $40.
Amazon: PlayStation 4 - Xbox One
Gamestop: PlayStation 4 - Xbox One
The move by retailers seems quick but it's actually a month later than when the first deal went live with Madden NFL 17. That happened just two weeks after the game had released...
First retailer deals for NBA Live 18
NBA Live 18 never had a chance in the marketplace to sell even at a reduced $40 pre-order price. No one, including publisher EA Sports, would have expected otherwise. The goal instead was to reestablish some credibility, get a few people on board with the series over the next year through various means (demo, EA Access, price drops, possible stumbles by competition) and hopefully see the signs of progress with the release of an NBA Live 19.
It remains to be seen whether Live 18 will be th...

Annual Steam Summer Sale includes a number of sports games
The always highly anticipated Steam Summer Sale has kicked off for this year with deals available until July 5. Discounted PC offerings include a fairly recent release in NBA Playgrounds, the still incredibly popular Rocket League, and NBA 2K17 as it begins to fade away in favor of its successor. The list below encompasses the sports games of most interest but the promotion has lots of games that may be worthy of a purchase especially at the reduced prices.
NBA Playgrounds for $13.39 (33% o...
Amazon Prime members will get free NBA 2K17 bonuses next week
When Amazon purchased Twitch in 2014 it was only a matter of time before the two websites became linked and that happened last year. One of the lesser-known benefits of the Prime subscription service is what's referred to as 'Twitch Prime' which eliminates advertisements when watching streams and provides a free channel subscription each month. It'll now also offer something extra for those with NBA 2K17.
Beginning Tuesday, April 25 those with Prime will receive 75,000 VC and a M...
