Second Next-Gen Madden NFL 25 Highlight Video; Now They Don’t Want You To See
ESPN today released another Monday Night Football sim with footage from next-gen Madden NFL 25. The first one with Dolphins @ Saints was so poorly received that EA Sports and ESPN skipped last week's sim seemingly in an effort to produce something more impressive. That video probably did more damage to the perception of the product than the hands-on impressions (check out the most recent Press Row Hangout and Podcast for talk of that) which have described the game as not much different than cu...
First Official Next-Gen NBA 2K14 Screenshot; Comparison With Current-Gen
2K Sports today released the first official screenshot for Xbox One/PS4 NBA 2K14. That in itself isn't especially newsworthy after having seen brief footage of how the game should look with the E3 teaser and the recent TV commercial.

NBA 2K14 Patch Addresses VC Exploits
The first patch was released today for NBA 2K14 and introduces a fix for at least one issue that had been discovered since the game released early this month. Essentially saving a game late in the fourth quarter allowed for users to load up the save and take the VC winnings only to come right back and be able to do so from the same late-game situation over and over. Another exploit utilizing Paypal and fake accounts to get VC also appears to now be blocked.
The VC system was introduced...
