First Look at Gameplay and Presentation Improvements for Madden NFL 13
EA Sports today discussed for the first time some of what to expect in Madden NFL 13 in the areas of gameplay and presentation. While the gameplay enhancements are largely similar to those earlier revealed for NCAA Football 13 where Madden seems to really have put forth exceptional effort is in the area of presentation.
Also of note is that the main menu reveals that you can be a coach in career mode (remember too that legendary coaches are in), there is still no screenshot feature, an...
UEFA EURO 2012 Gameplay Videos
While the reaction to UEFA EURO 2012 releasing as an expansion pack to FIFA 12 was overwhelmingly positive one of the downsides to the method of delivery is that the typical gameplay improvements that normally accompany a standalone release would be absent. Though some tweaks could have been made EA Sports has not commented on any so it's probably safe to assume that the gameplay will simply be the same as that of FIFA 12.
Here though are some gameplay videos from the $20 DLC add-on provi...
Cam Newton “CAMpaign” Lays Out Challenges to Calvin Johnson and the Fans
Typically a hype video wouldn't warrant a posting but in the case of Cam Newton calling out Calvin Johnson - the two are facing off right now for the honor of being the Madden NFL 13 cover athlete - this one is more intriguing and actually relevant. In the video Newton challenges Megatron to a live streamed game of Madden 12 and even gives out his own gamertag, PSN name, and an email address for fans who would like to try and get in a game with him. This represents a whole new level of engag...

NCAA Football 13 Gameplay Trailer
Last week the first info relating to gameplay enhancements for NCAA Football 13 arrived and focused primarily on the passing game. Today EA Sports has expanded on the improvements to gameplay in general with a brand new trailer.
Elements such as shovel passes have been added along with a large number of new catch animations, pass trajectories have been improved upon as has punt coverage, and read-and-react defensive AI should help to eliminate the seemingly "pyschic" nature of defenders....
Preview of Improvements Made to the Passing Game in NCAA Football 13
The first look at gameplay improvements comes from the latest episode of GTTV. It's a fairly short segment but throws out a good deal of new info on the passing game. There will be a number of additional pass trajectories, new QB drop-backs, improved throwing on the run, pass icons are dim until receivers are prepared for the ball, and the practically annual claim of there being no more in the way of psychic defensive backs is made.
Advance to 12:54 in the video for the NCAA Football 13 s...
NCAA Football 13 Details Improvements to Sights and Sounds
EA Sports today have released the first details on NCAA Football 13 digging into the visuals and audio in the first round of blogs and accompanying video. Enhanced progressive lighting, more team traditions and trophy presentations, a new menu system, improved crowd chants and noise, and commentary that utilizes tech from the FIFA series are amongst the major changes headed our way. In the process the NCAA team ripped heartily on past iterations in the series which may prove to irritate thos...
MLB 2K12 Gameplay Videos
Given that the demo was pretty much the only way to get a look at MLB 2K12 before release I thought it important to capture some gameplay videos for anyone with some interest in the product to check out and evaluate. This series of videos includes Pirates @ Marlins, Blue Jays @ Red Sox, Yankees @ Mariners, and Rays @ Tigers.
I'll have initial impressions tomorrow but so far MLB 2K12 has been stunningly poor - I'm having trouble finding many positives to discuss with any apparent improveme...
