NCAA Football 10 Online Dynasty First Look
After the revolutionary introduction of Online Dynasty in NCAA Football 09 the first look at what is being prepared for the mode in the upcoming release has been eagerly anticipated. Today that first look was presented through a video that has been posted on the official website for NCAA Football 10 and which I've included in this article.
Discussed in the video are the custom conferences, the tuning of simulated stats to provide more realistic output, and fixing of the glitch that preven...
The Physics of FNR4
EA Sports has released a new trailer for Fight Night Round 4 that focuses on the new physics engine. Some of the aspects specifically displayed in the video include inside fighting, punching through blocks, and glancing blows. These are all things that people have been hoping for and from what I've seen of the game at the very least appear to be natural and fluid.
This video seems to have piqued some interest in FNR4 again after it seemed for a while like UFC had taken command. Continue o...
Prince Fielder Cover Athlete For The BIGS 2
The first screenshot and a new trailer for The BIGS 2 is now out featuring cover athlete Prince Fielder. You can check out the full size screen in the gallery. While it has a similar look to the original The BIGS the player model of Fielder appears to be less exaggerated. The players in the game were overly stocky and large and here is Fielder, who is a big guy, and he almost looks more like you'd see him in a sim baseball offering.
Despite the two baseball games released this year by 2K ...
NCAA Tournament Featured Game 3/21
The round of 32 begins today and for the featured game I've selected #7 Texas vs #2 Duke. Both teams were impressive in their first round victories. The Blue Devils go into this game as a seven point favorite and the tip-off is estimated for 8:15 ET. I was going to do another highlight reel however the clip uploading to EASW hasn't been working. Continue on to read a short recap and check out the stats.

NCAA Tournament Featured Game 3/19
Throughout the NCAA Basketball Tournament I'm going to feature a game on the slate for the following day. I'll play through one of the games I find most intriguing with NCAA Basketball 09 and post up the results.
While the Bracket Pack is being advertised as out on the XBL Marketplace I don't believe it actually is. You can download it but the updated brackets and ratings don't show up. I've got an email in on this now to find out the situation. So for this first game I just made some adj...

The trailer attempts to display some different new aspects of the game such as the importance of height and reach and being one punch away from victory. Once again the cover athletes Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali are featured. Continue on to view the trailer and leave your thoughts in the comments.

The BIGS 2 Trailer
As mentioned last week a trailer arrived on copies of MLB 2K9 for the sequel to The BIGS. Ironically The BIGS is a game that had better graphics and played more sim in some ways than the MLB 2K franchise did and still does. It was one of the first sports games to offer an online co-op mode, which while limited was a lot of fun. The strategical elements were well done and the gameplay was very clean. While it is very much an arcade game it wasn't too over the top, just more of an exaggeration...
First Thoughts and Videos from MLB 2K9
With MLB 2K9 out today I recorded a couple innings in HD and also decided to drop some early thoughts on the game. I'll have a more detailed "wrap-up" article in the coming days as well as a report focusing on the online play of both baseball titles.
Continue on to watch the videos and read some of the initial impressions I have with the game. Needless to say things are not looking good.
