    With plenty of time having passed to vote on the player faces in the 2013 editions of the MLB games here are the results. Over 73K total votes were collected through the process and the results were definitive to say the least. While 2K Sports has at least put up a fight in the three years prior, coming out on top 30% of the time, this battle proved to be a far greater mismatch. MLB 13: The Show won 35 of the 40 over MLB 2K13. Most of the pairings were routs with The Show taking 26 of the...

    The cover campaign featuring both legends and current stars for Madden NFL 25 has reached the finals in the two brackets. The “Old School” and “New School” participants have been shaved down to two each with the eventual winners from each side facing off for the cover honors. Barry Sanders goes up against Jerry Rice while Arian Foster will take on Adrian Peterson. Foster's run is the only thing that could be considered a surprise especially having quit social me...

    Last week EA Sports offered the first look at NCAA Football 14 and provided some details on what to expect in the way of improvements and additions. The game will feature a refined "Infinity Engine" physics system. Enhanced player control in the way of cuts, acceleration bursts, and jukes. The introduction of Ultimate Team and Season modes. New "Coach Skills" in Dynasty and work done to the presentation (a big area of weakness in recent years) are also in the cards. Coming off two stra...
  • Second Patch for MLB 13: The Show

    A huge benefit to being first party means getting propelled to the front of the line in the patch certification process and not having to pay a significant fee for more after completing the first two free ones. While SCEA hasn't really taken advantage of the latter in recent years for The Show they have the former by getting the first extensive patches out within a matter of weeks. That happened again with MLB 13: The Show as a hefty update that came out in late March and now the company has...
  • EA Sports Working on Second NBA Game

    A new survey advertising a play-session later this week with a conceptually new NBA game at EA Canada has been discovered by NLSC. Those in the Vancouver area who are interested in taking part are asked to complete the survey which includes questions gauging experience with sports video games and level of sports fandom in general. A "new concept" implies something unorthodox and an arcade-style game to counteract NBA 2K14 with the arrival of the new consoles would make more sense than goi...

  • Deal on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14

    Only two weeks after release and there is already a huge deal on Tiger Woods 14 available at some retailers. Amazon has the standard version of the game at just $40 with the Xbox 360 but $50 on PS3, while the Historic Edition sits at $60 for both systems. With the Historic Edition content available on the marketplace for $20 there is no advantage to buying one over the other for the 360 if desired. If there is any interest in picking up Tiger this year the deal would be hard to pass...
