NBA 2K15 MyTeam Mode Details
2K Sports today released news on improvements and additions coming for MyTeam mode in NBA 2K15. MyTeam is the company's attempt at cloning the Ultimate Team model from EA Sports' titles and was first introduced in 2K13. While the revenue-generating mode isn't as natural a fit for NBA games it has proven to still be something that has a dedicated audience which is more than happy to shovel over their money in pursuit of new players.
In 2K15 MyTeam adopts even more concepts from Ultimate Te...
Madden NFL 15 Roster Update #3 Details
The roster update for Madden NFL 15 following week one of the season is available to download now on all systems. This update removes Ray Rice from the game following his release from the Ravens and indefinite suspension. It appears he won't be pulled from Ultimate Team entirely but probably won't be seen in any new packs going forward. There is seemingly an issue however as Rice appears in the free agent list when starting a new Connected Franchise with the latest roster. He's there as a FA...

NBA 2K15 Player Ratings Revealed To Date
The overall ratings calculation has changed with NBA 2K15 and only four players will be rated 90+. The floor seems to have risen, and the ceiling lowered somewhat, compressing more players in the middle. As always individual attribute categories and signature skills - and how those translate to performance - is more important than the overall.
2K Sports has started to release the player ratings and in an unorthodox manner having done so by starting with the lowest in the league. Typically...
Your Thoughts on the FIFA 15 Demo
After an unexplained delay in getting out for PS4 the FIFA 15 demo is now available on all platforms. It released Monday night on Xbox One, Tuesday for 360/PS3/PC, and Wednesday on PS4. It features eight clubs with matches set to four minute halves and some pre-set squads to use in feeling out Ultimate Team.
The FIFA 15 demo has left the strongest impression on me since the UFC 2009 demo. So much was seen and felt, in such a condensed period of time, that the game shined in a way that isn...
