Breaking down some of the NBA Live 16 footage out of E3
Yesterday the first breakdown of Madden NFL 16 footage was posted, taking a closer look at that game out of E3. Today attention turns to NBA Live 16 which EA Sports hopes will see a resurgence this year. The company is making some big claims that will draw additional scrutiny should they fail to live up to them but at this point they really have nothing to lose. It's important to be somewhat cautious in analyzing basketball games played by people, more so than other sports games,...

Popularity of EA Sports games gauged through E3 trailer views
EA Sports rolled out new trailers for their upcoming games at E3. What kind of traction have they had on Youtube and is there anything to be gleaned from view numbers? What probably stands out the most is how Madden really isn't drawing at a rate that would be representative of its sales numbers - something that seems to be a trend over recent years. (more…)...

E3 video collection for NBA Live 16
Based on the E3 presser it's clear that, if NBA Live is going down, they're going to do so swinging. Not only did EA Sports take shots at their 2K rival but the features announced - a face scanning app and a yet to be revealed multiplayer online mode - are an attempt to attack the competition's weaknesses. Ultimately though no one is going to put much stock into what they say, but rather what is shown. There wasn't much in the way of footage to come out of E3 but there are a few videos at...
