NHL 15 Patch Adds OTP and Be a GM Draft
If you're a fan of hyperbole, hold on to your seats, because it's "the greatest day in EA Sports NHL history" as one producer on the franchise exclaimed via Twitter. The update promised back when consumers discovered how many features were missing from NHL 15 - with long-awaited comment came a commitment to extensive post-release support - arrived today and apparently EA is super proud of themselves for it. The patch delivers basic Online Team Play (only NHL players, lacking the abi...

Madden NFL 15 Week Seven Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
The biggest move that will take place in this week's Madden NFL 15 roster update is that of Percy Harvin to the Jets. His attitude can't cause headaches for players and coaches in the game, so he's still the same dynamic playmaker on the field. After week six performances players to look for on the rise include Tony Romo, Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Chris Ivory, Justin Forsett, DeMarco Murray, Sammy Watkins, Demaryius Thomas, Randall Cobb, Jonathan Massaquoi, Aaron Donald, Jason Pierr...

Second Patch Already Here for FIFA 15
To the surprise of many a new patch for FIFA 15 went out today. It was unexpected if only for the timing - the first patch went out last Tuesday. It's available now on PS4 and expected out on Xbox One likely tomorrow. This update doesn't appear to be one that incorporates a great deal of community feedback and usually that doesn't come around until early-mid November. Already there are some complaints about the lack of fouls being seen post-patch which many seem to feel has been reduce...

Press Row Hangout: The Future of Gaming
In the latest Press Row Hangout the panel reexamines opinions on the "digital-future" of gaming (28:25), as well as the effect that a game going completely or primarily "always-online" such as NBA 2K15 and Driveclub has on consumers (43:43).

NBA 2K15 Server Problems Continue
NBA 2K15 has been out for nearly two weeks now but the troublesome servers continue to disrupt the game for many. Not only has access to the various modes been denied due to the servers being down but consumers are finding themselves with Virtual Currency that has vanished (which is essentially money stolen away by 2K Sports), MyTeam progress/purchases that have been lost, and MyPlayers that have disappeared (some of which have been replaced with someone else's created player). Not everyo...
