Madden 12 SOK Now Limited to One Per Game
Just yesterday I wrote at length regarding how surprise onside kicks would best be handled in Madden 12. The simplest, though not necessarily most ideal solution, would be to limit it to one attempt per game. Teams don't attempt surprise onside kicks more than once because the opposition is much more aware of the possibility and the risk-reward ratio is not nearly as enticing with field position being so valuable. In an interview with ESPN today Ian Cummings has stated that the limit, which...

Still it was easily the highest rated program to follow House in over a yea...

Chief among them if the rate they are attempted in the NFL warranted the development time. Also what is their success rate and how do you implement an element of surprise to a video game? (more…)...

Fight Night Champion 360 Demo Receives Tuner Update
One of the features making its way into Fight Night Champion is the ability to put out "tuner" sets that allow for the gameplay and settings to be adjusted without going through the lengthy patch process. Mixed response to the FNC demo and the opportunity to test out the feature brings about the first tuner update going live for the Xbox 360 today. The original plan never included releasing a tuner for the demo so this should be seen as an added bonus though unfortunate that those on the PS3 w...
