    Three weeks ago the first post-release patch for MLB 15: The Show went out and that one focused primarily on fixing bugs and exploits. The latest patch available for PS4 and PS3 appears to be somewhat of an extension on that one rather than a more comprehensive patch that incorporates consumer feedback in executing adjustments and improvements. This update includes more being done to reduce the effectiveness of bunting, the elimination of another exploit that had been harming the online e...

    The May 11th roster update for MLB 15: The Show is out and the changes made have shaken up the market in Diamond Dynasty Mode. The update includes two changes that even affect the players required to complete team collections. Zack Greinke has jumped from an Overall Rating of 89 to 92. That eliminates the need to acquire him to finish the Dodgers Collection and receive the team's legend Orel Hershiser. The Rockies Collection however will now require Carlos Gonzalez with his drop ...

    Another patch released for FIFA 15 today on all systems and for the most part it only affects Ultimate Team mode. Support continues on the game, which was notably just added to EA Access, because of Ultimate Team. The rest of the game isn't being hampered by it (at this point) because complete focus would have turned to FIFA 16 long before now otherwise. The launch of "Team of the Season" had been delayed due to the desire to address more coin exploits with this patch. Some dramatic chang...

  • FIFA 15 Now Available in EA Access Vault

    FIFA 15's addition to the EA Access “Vault” today brings the total number of titles offered by the service to 11. Like NHL 15 last month FIFA 15 has been introduced before its "season" has even come to a conclusion. In the case of FIFA we'll just refer to the Premier League in that sense which still has a few weeks to go - though its champion is a foregone conclusion. The Vault now contains all of 2014's EA Sports games: FIFA 15, NHL 15, Madden NFL 15, NBA Live 15, and EA S...
  • Jon Jones No Longer Fronting EA Sports UFC Mobile Following Update

    EA Sports took an unnecessary risk in having Jon Jones represent their UFC mobile game, which released just over two weeks ago, and they were placed in a tough spot immediately because of it. The game was out only a matter of days before he was arrested in connection with a hit-and-run, had his light heavyweight title stripped, and now even his manager is saying he may never fight in the UFC again. EA changed their Facebook and Twitter pages to generic images immediately after the news...
