What Game Moved Anticipation Wise Up or Down Most From E3 Showings?
In what was a relatively uneventful E3, EA Sports pushed its slate of upcoming titles by focusing mostly on the fundamentals instead of hyperbole. Madden NFL 15, FIFA 15, NHL 15, and PGA Tour all debuted new trailers, appeared at the Electronic Arts press conference, and had additional feature details released. Madden went heavy on defense accompanied by some gimmicky visual indicators and new cameras. There was also info on aspects like QB accuracy finally mattering and long overdue pres...

What Recently Announced NHL 15 Feature Are You Most Excited About?
The first details along with a teaser trailer were released for NHL 15 last week. While much more is expected out of E3 next month and throughout the summer, some significant features were revealed and some of them may be at least partially attributed to not having rushed out a version on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 last fall. Overhauling presentation and commentary are projects that some other sports franchises have shied away from doing. Instead NHL will be bringing in Doc Emrick and Edd...

Who Would You Want To Replace Steve Kerr on the NBA 2K Commentary Team?
That Steve Kerr is going to be strongly considered for head coach of the New York Knicks is beyond just rumor at this point. Should he take a coaching position there or somewhere else he'll obviously be out as an announcer in the NBA 2K series which he has been a part of since 2K12. That change could be happening right now or more likely to be a year away but the switch would be inevitable. He would not be available to do additional voiceover work and it would be really awkward to have hi...

How Important is the EA Sports UFC Demo?
EA Sports recently publicized that a demo for the launch of their new UFC series on June 17 will be out prior to release. With the stigma of the THQ series still lingering to an extent it will be a significant moment in determining how well the title will end up being received. Though EA has been actively promoting it going all the way back to last year's E3 they've yet to show any gameplay footage or even explain the controls. It has become difficult to determine how demos for yearly spo...

Your Thoughts On What Has Been Shown of MLB 14: The Show on PS4
SCEA has long made it known that the PlayStation 4 version of MLB 14: The Show would be essentially the same feature wise as the PS3. Instead of changing around a formula that has largely worked for several years they'd primarily focus instead on enhancing the visuals. There is a good deal of excitement around the title with fans having planned in advance by purchasing the PS4 knowing it was the only place baseball would be present. The exceptional visuals have been evident from the gamep...

How Much Does The Bruce Lee Addition Matter to EA Sports UFC?
The announcement of Bruce Lee being available as a playable fighter in EA Sports UFC prompted two distinct responses. Some felt it was a huge deal and could sway them to buy the product, while others thought it was silly that someone with no association to the UFC and who didn't really take part in competitive fighting would be included and heavily promoted for the game. The latter group would be unlikely pass on buying due to the news - the only way it would be harmful is if he was selectab...

Your Thoughts on the Demo for 2014 FIFA World Cup
The demo for 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil released yesterday on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and the response to it seems largely positive. That's great for those who have been anticipating the game but feels especially unfortunate for the others who would have jumped at the opportunity to buy it on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 if presented the opportunity. The 2010 World Cup game was one of the best sports titles of the entire 360/PS3 generation. 2014 looks to capitalize on that history with cons...

How Important Is Reducing The Time It Takes To Play Baseball Games?
One of the most common gripes with sim baseball video games - and something that many believe prohibits a more mainstream crowd from playing them regularly - is how long each game takes to complete. Often a single game will encroach on an hour and a good portion of that won't be very engaging. While some other sports may find themselves taking nearly as long they don't feature 162 game seasons making Franchise mode daunting to advance through without considerable simming of the schedule. ...
