    With sufficient time to evaluate the Madden NFL 25 demo since releasing last Tuesday here again is a chance to get a feel for reaction towards the game and whether the opportunity to play it has influenced any purchase decisions. Recently NCAA Football 14 got some really positive momentum following its demo and it'll be interesting to see how things compare with Madden. Hampered by a single camera angle that can't be changed in the demo (four others are available in the full game) ample o...

    With just three to four months to go until the next generation of consoles arrive, and over a month since Microsoft's reversal on restrictive DRM, it's a good time to again gauge consumer perception towards the PlayStation 4 (which has guaranteed launch day bundles available again on Amazon) and Xbox One and reassess potential purchase plans with the sports gaming community largely in mind. Advantage wise the PS4 is slightly more powerful, includes a headset, has a longer DVR gameplay rec...

    The 20th anniversary of one of the most revered sports games in history is being recognized with a place in NHL 14. The announcement of NHL 94 Anniversary mode though has brought about mixed reaction. NHL 94 was last featured in NHL 06 and in that case it was the actual original gameplay. In NHL 14 the mode is essentially just layering the old-school presentation over current-day gameplay. The removal of rules and the '94 control scheme were already options that could have been selecte...

    Earlier this month E3 delivered the first actual display of the next-gen sports games scheduled to release along with the consoles later this year or early into 2014. Some had legitimate gameplay trailers and others stuck with pre-rendered footage but most had something in-game to actually showcase at the event. (more…)...

    The NCAA Football 14 demo released on Tuesday and for the most part reaction has been fairly positive. A notably weak marketing campaign for the game may have actually resulted in those who follow developments intently finding themselves pleasantly surprised by the impact of various enhancements and additions made this year. The new Coordinator camera angle seems to be a big hit as well. Whether it's enough after a few years of disappointing efforts is the question. Vote in the poll below...

Those include the streamlined recruiting process with other enhancements, introduction of Coach Skills, exporting of draft classes to Madden NFL 25, and some minor enhancements to presentation. Response to the news appeared mixed initially regarding the recruiting with many heralding the more simplified method yet others disappointed the level of control...
  • Your Thoughts on the EA Sports Ignite Engine, Connected Franchise, and Xbox One Reveals

    Last week was understandably dominated by the next-gen reveals from Microsoft (Xbox One console) and EA Sports (Ignite Engine). Reaction to the former has been largely negative in the press and with consumers while the latter is more difficult to evaluate because nothing much of substance was shown. Still, early announcements such as these can shape perception for an extended period of time, so it's interesting to get a feel for the current temperature and follow how that may fluctuate as ne...
