Press Row Hangout Short: EA Access is Becoming The Best Value in Gaming
With Madden NFL 15 added to the Vault in EA Access this week the value of the service continues to rise. Bringing in Madden, NBA Live 15, and EA Sports UFC - games that still have significant relevance to them - has greatly boosted the appeal of the subscription particularly for those who are interested in sports games. To go along with a piece I put together going over EA Access and its draw for sports gamers (check it out at Sporting News), Rich Grisham and T.J. Lauerman joined me to di...

Your MLB 15: The Show Purchase Plans
With under four weeks until release it seems the most appropriate time to gauge where people stand on buying MLB 15: The Show. Previous polls have been held to determine whether features have swayed decisions on buying, how important the "Legends" are to prospective consumers, and anticipation levels for the announced features. This poll is meant to wrap everything up, as there has now been plenty of gameplay through live streams and all the features detailed, and get a feel for how in...

Madden NFL 15 Added to EA Access Vault
The latest addition to the EA Access "Vault" on Xbox One is Madden NFL 15. Today the game joined NBA Live 15 and EA Sports UFC as the most recent sports titles to be offered as part of the subscription service. The EA Access service is currently exclusive to Xbox One as Sony opted not to allow it for the PS4 claiming, of all things, "lack of value" for consumers. It’s $30 for a full year or $5 month-to-month. Members get unlimited access to the Vault which contains older EA g...

Leading Madden NFL 16 Cover Candidates
Over at Sporting News I put together a piece laying out the most likely candidates for the cover of Madden NFL 16. The eventual selection by EA Sports, or winner if it goes to a vote, will probably come out of the top three. However the list goes 15 deep with the players that could have the best case made for them coming away with the cover honor this year. Outside of the top three every player has something significant that would work against them. Who do you think should be in the runni...

Joe Montana Football 16 Microsoft Exclusivity Rumor Doesn’t Add Up
Joe Montana Football 16 was announced last July simply to make its existence known along with the intent for it to release this coming summer. No information about the game was provided and since then very little has been disseminated. Originally thought to be just a mobile game the developers - or Montana who seems to be running the show - have left the eventual platforms open to speculation. A post made by a new user, with absolutely no established history, on the Operation Spo...

MLB 15: The Show Live Stream – Graphics and Gameplay
The fifth live stream held by MLB 15: The Show developers included character artists to detail work done on visuals before turning to extended gameplay with the Nationals at Giants. Some of the specific areas touched on include player likenesses, hairstyles, accessories, equipment, and uniforms. There are also a couple opportunities to listen to the new "Inside the Show" radio broadcast that is featured within Franchise, Season, and Road to the Show. (more…)...

NBA 2K14 Servers Being Shut Down
2K Sports has announced that the servers for NBA 2K14 will be shut down at the end of March. That means there will be no more gaming online (standard, MyTeam, or Team-Up) and will bring a close to Online Association mode. With NBA 2K14 essentially an "always-online" title the concern has always been there about what it would mean when this day arrived. Fortunately those with ongoing MyCareer or MyGM saves won't have their progress halted for good. Instead they'll just become "offline" ...

Features for MLB 15: The Show Not Having Much Influence on Purchase Decisions
The poll posted last week to gauge interest in the announced features for MLB 15: The Show has demonstrated a lack of significant movement from consumers in how they perceive the upcoming title. With over 3800 voters participating most are set in their plans and were from the start with very few left wavering. (more…)...
