Second Patch Out Now for NHL 15
Just over a week ago the first patch for NHL 15 arrived and delivered with it some anticipated content that had been absent at release. Another patch dropped today on Xbox One and PS4 that is more traditional in nature as it affects gameplay, Ultimate Team, and presentation elements. It's not the promised October update that will add basic Online Team Play and the Draft to Be a GM mode - that's expected to be out mid-late this month. (more…)...
Details on the Next Patch Coming Soon for EA Sports UFC
A third patch for EA Sports UFC is due out soon and the company has released the details on the more major changes to expect with it. The two earlier patches, and it looks like this upcoming one, will have helped to dramatically alter the gameplay experience. At release EA UFC pleased just about no one and it showed in reviews and sales numbers. To their credit EA seems to have taken the feedback to heart and done a lot of good with the post-release support.

More Details on MyPark and The Stage for NBA 2K15
Earlier today 2K Sports released a trailer for NBA 2K15's MyPark and teased The Stage. Now the company has provided expanded details on both.
MyPark and the Jordan Rec Center within it sound compelling. As far as The Stage goes one has to wonder how 2K Sports is getting around this being considered gambling, because it really is, and there are legalities to consider in that. A 45K VC game (the max on PS4) is for all intents and purposes putting $9 on the line - though that cost or the win...
A Look at Improvements Made to Offense in NBA Live 15
EA Sports today released a new video spotlighting some of the improvements being delivered in NBA Live 15 specific to the offensive side of the ball. The company has yet to do much of anything to demonstrate how Live 15 will be a better product than last year's but the examples noted here are a good start at attempting to communicate them. The video shows where work has been done to enhance passing, dribbling, shooting, and contact animations. The three week delay has NBA Live 15 set t...
MyPark Trailer for NBA 2K15
With under a week until release 2K Sports has finally introduced a look at improvements to The Park, the online mode introduced in Xbox One and PS4 2K14, now branded as MyPark in NBA 2K15. The trailer doesn't go into great detail but does mention earning "Rep" and the ability to play with friends as "Squads". There's the "Jordan Rec Center" where games become 5v5 with four quarters and NBA rules - partially replicating the "Crew" mode so many desired. Also at the end is a tease of "The Stage...

With NBA 2K15 out next week naturally a lot of the recent news has been concentrated on the game. In today's Daily Dish the focus centers on the player ratings for NBA 2K15 now known for the entire league and the odd marketing strategy that has left several modes shrouded in mystery even still.
