Your Thoughts on NCAA Football 13 Following the First Gameplay Videos
Momentum for NCAA Football 13 began building with the gameplay and presentation news and continued through the improvements coming to Dynasty mode. It may have been halted - and possibly the perception of the product even having regressed to an extent - by the release of the first gameplay videos. They seemed to do little to demonstrate the significant improvements touted to gameplay with many comments expressing that the footage looked like NCAA 12 outside of the presentation enhancements o...
Your Thoughts on Madden NFL 13 Following the Audio News
Though Madden NFL 13 definitely seemed to generate some enthusiasm based on gameplay and presentation news the release of a commentary-centric video this week undeniably dampened that at least to an extent. Audio has been the most recent focus with the new announce team of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, authentic cadences for the "top 10" QBs and on-field sounds provided by NFL Films, improvements to crowd noise, and a completely original soundtrack composed in-house representing the additions an...
Your Thoughts on NCAA Football 13 Following the Dynasty Mode News
The ramp up of marketing towards NCAA Football 13 has produced some encouraging developments as seen following the presentation and gameplay news created some positive traction with fans that had been sorely absent since last year's troubled release. The Dynasty news from last week delivered a number of improvements that were received well but also seemed to overlook others that were actively hoped for by many.
Dynasty will feature studio updates from Rece Davis, an ESPN ticker, dynamic c...
Your Thoughts on Madden NFL 13 Following Gameplay and Presentation News
Regarding NCAA Football 13 there was a desperately needed positive shift in momentum that coincided with EA Sports rolling out presentation and gameplay news. Now with the same details recently made available for Madden NFL 13 the opportunity presents itself to check the temperature on that title as well.
In terms of gameplay both titles announced similar enhancements - things like additional pass trajectories, improved play action, and read-and-react defensive AI. Where Madden has mad...
What Sports Game From The First Third of the Year Failed The Most?
The primary releases from the first four months of 2012 may best be remembered for their major issues than what they got right. There were a few good games in the mix but even those didn't arrive in clean fashion or even fix what ailed them later on.
That got me to thinking - which of these games failed you and/or what companies have been the most unethical with their practices? A significant investment is made whether $20 for the UEFA DLC, $60 for the standard retail games, or $80 for th...
Your Thoughts on NCAA Football 13 Following the Gameplay News
NCAA Football 13 has faced a great deal of skepticism coming off a highly troubled year and EA Sports had hopes to turn the tide with the reveal of gameplay enhancements last week.
Though it wasn't necessarily gameplay deficiencies that plagued NCAA 12 - more so the lack of follow through on new features, issues with critical modes like Online Dynasty, weak game atmosphere, and questionable support and communication - many of the improvements cited are long overdue and will certainly be ...

MLB 12: The Show dominated MLB 2K12 in the player face comparison 21-6 last month. Now both titles have released roster updates and introduced new players which is a whole different animal. The three most prominent names are Yu Darvish and Yoenis Cespedes - who made their major league debuts - and a returning Jamie Moyer.
Which game created the better Darvish, Cespedes, and Moyer? For those who don't feel either game can claim that distinction there is an option in the polls with that in ...
Your Thoughts on UEFA 2012 as DLC
Yesterday EA Sports made the official announcement of UEFA EURO 2012. However unlike past releases it will not be a standalone title - instead it arrives on April 24 as $20 downloadable content for FIFA 12.
Immediate reaction to the move has seemed generally positive. That appears primarily to be due to the price coming in at $20 as opposed to the $60 it would have been on its own. There's a good chance that consumers who would be interested in UEFA already own FIFA 12 which helps make it...
