Learning About NCAA Football 14 Through CPU vs CPU Gameplay
There is probably no better way to discover how the CPU plays in a sports game than letting two AI controlled teams go head-to-head and thus avoiding any user influence. Doing so obviously does not provide much insight into how a game will perform in a head-to-head pairing but instead is useful for learning where there may be holes in the AI primarily relating to single player. The first game that was set up and recorded was a fantastic example of the value that comes with examining a CPU...

Fan Vote Will Determine Cover Fighter for EA Sports UFC
Amazon has added placeholder box art to listings (One - PS4) for the upcoming UFC game from EA Sports. Interestingly despite having been referred to up until now as "EA Sports UFC" a few retailers including Amazon and Walmart have switched the product name to "UFC". All the EA Sports titles feature the logo prominently in the center so its presence in the box art doesn't suggest otherwise. Certainly the EA Sports in front of UFC helps define the product better than without it and it will lik...

NCAA Football 14 Season Mode Introduced
EA Sports today for the first time publicly discussed Season mode in NCAA Football 14 via developer blog posting. It's no wonder the news comes just hours before the demo release and the week after E3 given there isn't a whole lot to say about it. As anyone would expect the mode strips out all the management necessities that make up Dynasty mode. Rather than needing to assign tasks to the CPU and have them simmed they'll just be completely absent from the picture with the only focus being...

Mobile Version of FIFA 14 Coming to Android In Addition to iOS
During the course of E3 the mobile version of FIFA 14 was announced and most newsworthy was that it will be coming to both iOS and Android devices. EA took the year off from Android with FIFA 13 which was the winner of the Best Mobile Sports Game Community Choice Award after releasing FIFA 12 for both (though Android had to wait longer for it). FIFA 13 got such a great reception due to its refined controls, true online multiplayer, and the addition of EA Sports Football Club. The contr...

For The Sports Gamer It’s No Contest – The PS4 Is The One Console To Get
Coming from a general consumer perspective Sony "won" E3 going away with Microsoft crashing and burning. The narrative is really unquestioned at this point. As things stand now the PS4 is the far more desirable platform for gaming consumers and Microsoft is doing, and saying, all the wrong things. That extends arguably even more so to the hardcore sports gamers who have a clear winner to support going forward. (more…)...
