SCEA has yet to comment on plans for post-release support and have been careful to avoid even stating that a patch is being worked on. There shouldn't be reason for concern at this stage however. Undoubtedly one is in the pip...

Another Run at MLB Today Season in MLB 2K12 Yields More Distressing Results
It wasn't completely unexpected that MLB Today Season mode in MLB 2K12 wouldn't be running properly right off the bat. The MLB 2K series has a history of poorly implemented or completely non-functioning features. So there was little surprise when last week MLB Today Season wasn't working when the season opened with the Mariners vs A's series in Japan. (more…)...

Tiger Woods DLC Practices Proving Costly
Often it takes more than consumer frustration for companies to take note that actions being taking are having an adverse effect on perception and ultimately sales. They may recognize declines but then not attribute it to the right factors.

Sales weren't poor with Live 10 because of the response to th...

Details on the NCAA Football 13 Pre-Order Bonuses by Retailer
Last year the best deal for NCAA Football 12 came from Amazon which offered the game with a $20 promo credit and that forced consumers to face the choice of taking that deal or going with the best bonus which was Gamestop's five exclusive Nike Pro Combat uniforms.
