Press Row Hangout: Reviewing EA UFC
The launch of the EA Sports UFC franchise was highly anticipated but has been met with disappointing reviews and fairly poor consumer word of mouth. Check out the 74 minute segment from last night's live Press Row Hangout where I'm joined by Rich Grisham and T.J. Lauerman to break down our experiences with and assessments of the game!

Madden NFL 15 Cover Prominently Features Equipment Not in the Game
The official cover art for Madden NFL 15 made its way to retailers yesterday. Putting aside that the cover art is awful - hopefully the petition and lobbying from Sherman to get the entire LOB on the cover will lead to a change - it features front and center Vapor Jet gloves and shoes that still have not been added to the series. Nike took over the license two years ago yet those items have yet to replace the old Reebok equipment. Screenshots and videos have shown that they aren't included t...

NHL 15 Exits E3 In Strengthened Position; PGA Tour Sunk By Its Appearance
While E3 last week predictably offered no bombshells EA Sports rolled out the first looks at four upcoming titles and offered some additional information on each.

EA Sports Hopes To Make College Football and Basketball Games in the Future

Guest Review: EA Sports UFC
by Dylan Favorite I have been eagerly anticipating the release of EA Sports UFC since it was officially announced two years ago. Unfortunately, after spending a good chunk of time with it, I can say that it is considerably flawed. I have enjoyed all of the past UFC games from Undisputed 2009 to EA MMA. I would consider myself well versed in both the games and the sport. This version just falls flat in some key areas. (more…)...

RBI Baseball 14 Releasing Next Week on Xbox One and PlayStation 4
Few will care at this point but the Xbox One is about to get its only baseball game. RBI Baseball 14 is set to go out next Tuesday, June 24, on XB1 as well as PS4 for $20. What has been long advertised for spring release will fall outside that window but by only a few days. While RBI initially generated some excitement when announced early this year that quickly dissipated when the game was essentially never promoted (no information or video) and then released overpriced and t...

Unique Fighter Abilities in EA Sports UFC
One aspect of EA Sports UFC that was never really discussed relates to the various special abilities held by the fighters which in theory would highlight their strengths and traits in fights while also adding a larger sense of personalization for created fighters. Unfortunately one of the biggest complaints with the game is that the individuals all tend to fight the same rather than in the different manners they actually do in real fights (strategically and relating to personal skills)...
