NCAA Football 10 Midday Event Podcast
Chris Jacobs from ncaaStrategies and I got together for a quick midday podcast from NYC. After having attended the EA Sports Preview Event we are now heading out to the Draft Premiere Event. Continue to send me questions for Erin Andrews and the athletes (Crabtree, Curry, Sanchez, Stafford, B. Johnson, Orakpo, M. Jenkins, Moreno) here and on Twitter where you can follow along for additional opportunities and pictures from the event throughout the night.
In the podcast we discuss the four ...
Reviewers Get One Right and One Wrong
The first two sports titles of the year have been released in MLB Front Office Manager and 3 on 3 NHL Arcade. Both have been hit hard by reviewers despite their lower prices. In the case of MLB FOM I had some positive hopes for it and initially liked it but a couple major issues have negated all that and with a patch unlikely there isn't much hope of getting much enjoyment out of the game. On the other hand 3 on 3 NHL Arcade delivers exactly what it promised as a light-hearted fun offering b...
Waiver Wire Podcast 1/19
Chase and I are back in our more familiar roles with the Operation Sports Waiver Wire podcast for this week. After having the holidays off and releasing a few Padrecasts we get back to a more wide-ranging format. This time the discussions center around MLB 09: The Show franchise mode, getting your name into the audio database of NCAA Football 2010, and the upcoming releases of Skate 2, MLB Front Office Manager, and 3 on 3 NHL Arcade. I continue to complain about the naming of the EA Sports l...
Padrecast: MLB 2K9 Feature List
In the latest Padrecast I'm again joined by Chase Becotte from Operation Sports to discuss the feature list revealed a few days ago for MLB 2K9. It runs longer than we had anticipated (52:27) which can likely be attributed to the numerous severe problems with the game last year giving us plenty to talk about. The features that are now known appear to be an attempt to clean up those technical and design issues and make the game more accessible.

Padrecast: MLB 09 The Show Fact Sheet
It's the return of the Padrecast! After doing a handful of them last year I wasn't really satisfied with what I was able to offer on my own. The idea though is to have a shorter, more focused discussion that is unedited and just presented as-is. I'm joined by my OS Waiver Wire co-host Chase Becotte in what should be a continuing series of them. It's a change of pace from the normal show we would do.
To kick it off we wanted to discuss the MLB 09 The Show fact sheet. We basically just run ...
Utopia Podcast 12/29
Earlier today I joined Chris Jacobs (CDJ) of ncaaStrategies to record the Utopia Podcast. Over the course of an hour and a half we review the year in sports gaming. This is done primarily by going through the Top 10 sports games of the year I laid out over the last couple weeks and discussing each one in detail as well as why some others didn't make the cut. There are also some thoughts added on where the games could be headed next year.
