    Considering the general reaction to the Pelicans name when first rumored and then announced, the jerseys revealed for New Orleans today are probably more understated than most would have anticipated. "Pelicans" doesn't even appear on either the home or road jersey. Check them out in their team store. 2K Sports capitalized on the moment by releasing an image of Anthony Davis wearing the jerseys from the 360/PS3 version of NBA 2K14....

    A federal appeals court turned in a split decision today overruling the argument by Electronic Arts that the First Amendment gave them protection as free expression and artistic works in the representation of players in college video games. The 2-1 ruling prevents the company from using the First Amendment as a defense against collegiate athletes who feel their likeness has been misused but it does not represent closure on the subject by any means.  (more…)...

    A recent play event held by EA Sports has led to the release of a number of videos for the Xbox 360/PS3 version of Madden NFL 25. Extended directly captured gameplay footage is joined by looks at Owner mode, Skills Trainer, and Create-a-Player.

    The results of the poll posted last week show the PlayStation 4 dominating the Xbox One as it relates to purchase plans from the sports gaming community. The split likely would have been even greater had Microsoft not reversed course on the restrictive DRM policies they planned to enact on the system but the gap is still pronounced.  (more…)...

    In a filing today Electronic Arts is seeking dismissal following the latest amended complaint in the player likeness lawsuit against the company, NCAA, and CLC. During the class action certification hearing EA and the CLC both threw the NCAA under the bus saying they shouldn't be held liable given that they were just following the NCAA's rules. That argument is appearing again now in the hopes, however slim despite happening once before, that they will be dismissed as defendants before the d...

    Late last week EA Sports released blogs on two features relating to NHL 14. The first deals with "Dynamic Ratings Updates" which aims to deliver more consistency and relevancy to an area that has been a weakness of the series. The other has to do with the work done to better the "True Performance Skating" that was originally introduced in NHL 13.  (more…)...
