First Few Minutes of the Tiger Woods 13 Legacy Challenge Mode
EA Sports has taken some heat from the more passionate fans of the series for the addition of the "Legacy Challenge" in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13. Despite that it is shaping up to be the feature that attracts those outside of the hardcore crowd. That's what the addition of The Masters did last year - and those more casual consumers likely would have been lost without something new to hook them in. Playing through the different stages in Tiger Woods' life is just that and a considerably compell...

Gameplay Improvements to Pitching and Hitting in MLB 2K12
It's been clear for a while that MLB 2K12 wasn't going to bring a whole lot new to the table. While 2K Sports attempts to market it with the $1 million competitions and by flaunting out Kate Upton they've done little to provide any credibility around this year's product especially following the release of poor initial screenshots and an embarrassingly thin features list. Now though the first official blog has gone out which goes into detail on gameplay enhancements with the focus on th...

Latest NBA 2K12 Roster Update Boosts Jeremy Lin But Only to 69 Overall
"LINsanity" has taken over as one of the best sports stories in recent memory continues to roll. In the last 6 games (5 of which he's started) Jeremy Lin is averaging 26.8 PPG, 8.5 APG, 3.8 RPG and last night even hit the game-winning shot. The Knicks, playing without Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony for most of it, are undefeated in the 6 games.

Alistair Overeem Codes for UFC Undisputed 3 Not Reaching All Intended Recipients
It seems a large number of people who signed up for the free Alistair Overeem code through UFC Undisputed 3's Facebook page - which was available to claim beginning in late December and through much of January, and then was opened back up again until last Friday - didn't receive the code today as expected. The codes were apparently all sent out this morning but many, myself included, even after checking spam folders and such didn't receive it. In response THQ has set up a page where co...

Recapping the Madden NFL 12 Player Trait Feature and Changes From the Season
One of the more valuable gameplay-centric additions in Madden NFL 12 came with player "traits". They allowed for improved player differentiation on the field, another way to target the right players in Franchise mode to fit a particular play style, and additional items for fans to debate outside of just ratings. The feature added a new level of definition to players that had been desperately needed for a long time but there is room to expand on that going forward. (more…)...
