    EA Sports today released a breakdown of the specific improvements to gameplay that will appeal more to the hardcore crowd in Madden NFL 15. A lot of this was discussed in the recent live stream but it's nice to have it laid out in this manner as well.

How effective it all is remains in question but that's...

    EA Sports will be stringing out Madden NFL 15 player ratings over the next two weeks. The company has now revealed the top rated quarterbacks and running backs which follow the highest rated rookies with 13 of them 78 or higher. Unfortunately "top" only means five best at each position so it wouldn't seem like there would be a great deal to analyze or argue about...though I'm sure plenty of that will still happen. Quarterback Peyton Manning (98), Aaron Rodgers (98), Drew Brees (96), ...

  • Patch Released for EA Sports UFC; Three Fighters Added to Roster

    A significant update was released for EA Sports UFC today that on the surface attempts to make the gameplay somewhat more realistic while also adding three fighters to the roster for free. The patch notes mention most notably a number of adjustments to stamina and damage. That isn't going to solve concerns over value due to the lack of content offline (recent price drop can help in that regard) or that the CPU fights the same no matter who is being used and does so super-aggressively, but...
