EA Sports Misses Their Prime Opportunity to Showcase NBA Live 14
The one advantage that EA Sports held over the competition in regards to NBA Live 14 was an ability to promote the game and their best interests early. The company did not have a current-gen offering to be concerned with overshadowing and they would only benefit by pushing more consumers to wait for next-gen. That they let this window pass without doing much of anything is another bad sign that will only increase skepticism until they prove they have a product on their hands that is worthy o...

The roster update following week four of the season is expected out by Friday afternoon on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. The trades of Eugene Monroe to the Ravens and Levi Brown to the Steelers are included. The Buccaneers releasing Josh Freeman today obviously came too late to make it in for this update. Some of the names of those moving up in ratings this week include Geno Atkins (+1 to 97), Ndamukong Suh (+1 to 97), Tony Gonzalez (+1 to 95), Dez Bryant (+1 to 94), Joe Haden (+1 to 93), Ju...

Your Thoughts on NBA 2K14

Review scores are down with the Metacritic currently five points lower than 2K13. Despite that the changes made to gameplay have been largely recognized as valuable and that may be enough for some coming off such a s...

Ultimate Team Pre-Order Bonus Added for Next-Gen Madden NFL 25
In what will likely extend to all retailers Amazon is the first to post a pre-order bonus for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 edition of Madden NFL 25. To no surprise it relates to Ultimate Team mode which has been leaned on for the bonuses in all of EA Sports' recent slate of games in order to further push the revenue generating mode. Seven Ultimate Team Pro Packs will be included. Madden 25 releases on November 12 for PS4 and November 19 for Xbox One. Fans of the mode have had ample oppo...

NBA 2K14 Available for iOS Devices
In addition to the console versions released today NBA 2K14 has also arrived for iOS devices (download from iTunes here) for $8. That is the same price NBA 2K13 released at on mobile to generally poor reviews while other companies have instead been trending towards the free-to-play model. It is not yet out for Android but expected sometime this month. Unfortunately 2K Sports did not provide any details on app features so at this point users would be buying blind. NBA 2K13 featured the NBA...
