    More surprising than the lack of courses and golfers in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour has been EA Sports' failure to detail any post-release support plans for the game. Sales of McIlroy were dramatically affected, mostly due to having only eight licensed courses, yet it took until two weeks after release for the company to announce anything to do with additional content. The first info has come now and it's underwhelming to say the least. One new course is on the way for Rory McIlroy ...

    Another week has gone by and the (promised for All-Star break) sweeping reevaluation of ratings for the entirety of the league in MLB 15: The Show is still nowhere to be found. In its place today is just a typical roster update, with the highest rated players affected being in the mid-80s. Noah Syndergaard is the big winner this week rising from 75 to 82 with Kyle Hendricks (+10 to 76) also getting a strong push. There's more in the way of downward movement this week with Tanner Roark (-4...

    Though Rob Gronkowski has been 99 Overall at times in the past, he finished off Madden NFL 15 at 98. He's gained the point back to start with in Madden NFL 16 as he'll be one of the few to have the coveted 99 Overall Rating. Four of the top five tight ends return to their top ranked status, but one new name has surged ahead to steal a top five spot.  (more…)...

    From the end of August, to the end of September, there are nine sports-related games releasing. Five of them are major league licensed titles. How is it that all these games will release at practically the same time, when there's only a handful of them distributed over the other 11 months out of the year? This situation has become of major concern to sports gaming fans, particularly as the genre has contracted so significantly over the past decade. There's only so much money to go around,...

    MLB 15: The Show gamers continue to wait with baited breath for the huge roster update that Sony San Diego had promised would come around the All-Star break since last month. After very few changes were made in last week's update, many were anticipating the significant re-rating of the entire league to drop this week. While there were a number of changes in the latest one, it was not the update that is being so hotly anticipated by the community.  (more…)...
