MLB The Show 16 will have a draft mode of its own in Diamond Dynasty
One of the most popular additions to any sports game last year was Draft Champions in Madden NFL 16. That mode allowed people to creatively craft a team's roster through a limited draft and then use the team without any lengthy commitment being required.

Now it appears MLB The Show 16 will have its own "draft" mode to...

Stephen Curry’s season now trails only peak Michael Jordan for best ever in NBA 2K16
It's been such a remarkable season for Steph Curry that developers are struggling to find a way to fit what he does into simulation video games and there are no simple solutions for how to deal with him. In NBA 2K16 he reached 99 ratings in both three-point shooting categories earlier this year but even that isn't close to doing him justice. Today Curry rose a point to 98 Overall in NBA 2K16. That establishes him to be playing, at this point in time, at a level only exceeded in history by...
