As someone who actually owned a pair of Mercurial’s throughout high school, these new, limited run Mercurial Superflies are something I’d totally try to pick up. Nike and EA have teamed up to release a super limited, numbered run of cleats for FIFA fans. Don’t worry, the only EA branding is on the heal and barely noticeable when compared to the rest of the boot. Would you look at...
EA Sports has a look at Rory McIlroy PGA Tour‘s Quick Rounds feature in the form of a seven minute clip of raw gameplay. In short, it lets you fit a four-round tournament into the space of a single round, making up for the difference with multipliers. The course line-up was confirmed this week as well. We’d seen it previously but weren’t sure if it was a final listing. Bay Hill Club...
Tiger Woods isn’t the fan favorite he used to be, and EA’s been off its golf game for a couple years figuring out what it wanted to do in the wake of losing its big star. At E3 2014, we found out more about where the team was going with the game, and now PGA Tour has a face to go with its new direction. This year’s game will be called EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. “I’m very proud...
It's Monday morning here in Japan, and I took a little time off to watch my New England Patriots win the most thrilling Super Bowl in recent memory. Yes, the Super Bowl at 8:30 in the morning, it never gets old! Now that it's over and head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady are champs once again, I am having a really hard time focusing on anything else, especially video...
When I was a kid, the Dallas Cowboys were the perennial "bad-guys" of the NFL, and some fans did a great job of living up to those good ol' days in the hours before the team's playoff victory over the Detroit Lions. Sports fans being jerks? I know, right. Anyway, a young 10-year old Lions fan named Rowan was given tickets to the game by his grandmother, granting him a wonderful chance...
FIFA 15 is live and almost stable enough to virtually recreate the world's most popular sport. However, more and more fans using the PC version, a new entry for EA Sports' franchises, have discovered a wonderful bug in the programming that makes professional players look like an elementary school gym class. Oh you remember. When playing soccer as a kid, you had to be the one who played...
EA Sports has released a new video that shows a little bit of what to expect when it comes to player detail in the upcoming NHL 15. As we discussed in our hands-on preview of the game back during E3 this year, sweaters now hang on each player's body in the same way they would in real life. That means pucks might drag along them, altering shot direction and making for some interesting...
When PGA Tour Executive Producer Brent Nielsen told us his game uses the same engine that runs games like Battlefield 4 and the upcoming Battlefield Hardline, it didn’t make a lot of sense at first. When you look at EA’s library of sports titles, it’s easy to see right away how golf sticks out as being a bit different from the others. Whether it’s football or mixed martial arts, many...
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a near ground-up rebuild for the NHL franchise. For my money, the biggest and best evolution the title ever saw was the addition of the Skillstick in 07. Since then? It’s been a march of minor upgrades and tweaks. I’m not suggesting the other games were bad or middling, they just weren’t as revolutionary as 07 was to the series. NHL 15 is the...
The new PGA Tour looks pretty darn fancy, doesn’t it? We have a big interview/feature going up in the next day or so regarding PGA Tour. We spoke with Producer Brent Nielsen regarding the game, its use of Frosbite 3 and the crazy new courses. Until then, though, we wanted to share the assets we just received. The game looks gorgeous, both in motion and in...
