My thoughts on all things OS, sports, and life.

A lot of Madden NFL 25 news today, as well as Microsoft's XBOX ONE reveal. Starting with the Microsoft event, we didn't really get anything concrete for Madden, but we did hear about a renewed focus on AI and a dynamic crowd experience for next-gen. Two things that are sorely lacking from this generation's Madden games. We should learn a lot more, including some real information at E3 in June.
We also got news on ... Read More

Pittsburgh had a great draft, which should help them in Madden NFL 25 later this year.
Everyone who has ever picked up and played a copy of Madden NFL Football knows that certain positions are more valuable than others inside the game. Skill position players usually reign supreme. With that knowledge, let's take a look at some NFL Draft winners and some losers, Madden style.
Winners
Buffalo - ... Read More

The Madden NFL franchise faces many challenges in convincing former Madden-ites, console gamers, and long-time skeptics alike that the game will be a significant upgrade on next-gen platforms. The goodwill that Madden had created during the PS2/XBox era is gone for many after several years of what some fans call disappointing releases from EA Sports.
EA and Tiburon now find themselves in the unenviable spot ... Read More

5. Spread 'em out!
With the new spread offenses that are coming into popularity thanks in no small part to potential Madden NFL 25 cover boy Colin Kaepernick and similar quarterbacks, the offensive playbooks desperately need an overhaul. We've had very few changes in this department for years and it's even worse in the defensive playbooks. You simply can't replicate some of the more dynamic option attacks on offense ... Read More

NFL Free Agency kicks off March 12 and that means it's time to look at the top players available this offseason. Where these players sign will have significant carry over for gamers in Madden NFL 25, great players give the user the power to enhance defensive schemes and add new offensive options. There's no need to mention free agents who aren't going anywhere, either by re-signing with their current team or being slapped ... Read More

This year I am thankful for some really amazing sports games, both new and old.
Let's start with the new.
I am thankful for NBA 2K13, especially in the absence of competition. I'm thankful that 2K Sports and Visual Concepts has given NBA 2K13 the care and attention that a proper NBA simulation deserves; and in the process have made a sports game of the year candidate.
I am thankful ... Read More

Recently, users on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have not been able to download rosters from other gamers using the in-game roster share function. Many passed it off as a glitch, bug, or server issue.
What sports gamers might need to face however, is this reality; this might be the beginning of the end. With the lawsuits that have been filed against EA Sports and the NCAA on behalf of players such as Sam Keller ... Read More

Ask most people what the most important element of sports gaming is, and they'll tell you that it's gameplay. It's a popular opinion and one that I shared for a long time. As I've grown older and began to examine what is missing from this generation of sports games, I've come to appreciate another element of sports gaming as much, if not more-so, than gameplay. It's hard to put into just a few words because it encompasses so much. And when it's missing, you notice immediately. It's the feeling you ... Read More

GMS: Every day of the year. Working from home has its advantages. That plus I am a night owl who doesn’t sleep a lot, so probably 8 to 10 hours a day on most days.
PM: Believe it or not I've been working on Historic Rosters for NCAA 11 for well over a year now....It's not that it takes a year but more because I like to really make sure each player is edited properly ... Read More

I started by putting all of the penalties except holding, clipping, and face mask at 100. Then I set the skill level to Pro, figuring it was a good place to start. Wow, I was wrong, at least I hope so.

The past year was filled with many ups and downs, I was laid off, broke up with a g/f, got the Swine Flu, and generally had a rough go the last 6 months of the year in my personal life.

I very rarely want to see a movie badly enough that I can't wait for it on DVD, maybe 2 or 3 movies a year. This is one of those movies, partially because I am familiar with the Bruno character from the Ali G Show and I had always hoped to see the character fleshed ... Read More

I thought cool, that's a pretty good number and I usually only see that many at the same time with a game like NCAA and Madden.
Within 2 hours, I saw 12 people online and 11 of them were playing UFC Undisputed! I was in a 6 person party and every one of us were engrossed in Career mode.
As I've looked around on the internet it seems that everyone ... Read More
