The Future of Madden (A New Hope?) 
12:02 PM - September 28, 2022. Written by Dagan
The current hope I have is that this year's whole debacle combined with other companies being able to release NFL licensed games, the profit expectations of the NFL is still met while allowing EA to move to a two year development cycle (at least - I wouldn't mind three years).

This is exactly why I talk about how the MUT/YARD/FOTF should be its own game and code while the sim game of Madden that we all had in the first place as its own thing, once again is only that - its own thing. ... Read More

Free Form Passing - my conclusion: 
07:30 AM - September 24, 2022. Written by Dagan
For all of my efforts to try and like it, I have the opinion that Free Form Passing is unnecessary. It does nothing new, unless the end goal was to make gamers mash more buttons (I.E. making it more interactive). Sadly, I'm thinking someone at EA equates that to making the game have more immersion. While it does "engage" a player more, I don't feel it's enjoyable more than it gets tedious.

Aside from my opinion, though, there are hard facts. When you trigger the play art / WR routes ... Read More

Please, Make Sports Game/Player Ratings Matter. 
03:54 PM - September 22, 2022. Written by Dagan
This is a decades old, vicious (albeit, playful often) debated circle around these parts but in also many other forums and in countless work breakrooms. Not to pick on Madden, but I'm just going to go through the back and forth's using Madden as example:

THEM: We now have Superstar X-factor boosts to separate the elite players from the rest.
ME: Or you could just make ratings sliders absolutely matter and that by adjusting all of those specifically to be why any one player ... Read More

No more excuses - It's 2022 - We have the tech. 
12:39 PM - September 22, 2022. Written by Dagan
Games need to be separate and their own entities entirely. It's beyond obvious that the cramming of game modes and game codes into one disc/download just isn't working out. We've seen it with Madden, NBA2K, NHL and also with other high profile games/FPS stalwarts.

Print on demand has been an option for at least 15 years, now, so there's no need per overhead (store/distro center shelves) for rolling out a disc version on any game at all. Tell consumers that they can either order, ... Read More

M23 - Freeze Tag Glitch ? 
04:54 PM - September 21, 2022. Written by Dagan
I don't know what to call it, but since two days ago, I suddenly see my players with the ball, at the end of a play, they instantly are frozen in place while everyone else around them is just moving along.

The first time it happened, my Washington Commanders running back just got tackled, and he's suddenly stiff as a board on the ground while others walk around, step on him, step over him, etc. I thought the comment box was about to appear and say, "Antonio Gibson has DIED. Would ... Read More

2K23 Question 
07:24 PM - September 17, 2022. Written by Jakeness23
Are you able to preview the historical changes that happen in eras (such as changing courts, jerseys, etc?) I feel like that’d be a welcome addition so you can decide whether you want to stick with the current way or go with the “new” one.

The two big mistakes of NBA2k23 
01:13 PM - September 16, 2022. Written by spinoff
It was in 1999, I was leaving high school to go to the new video game store. And there it was, the DreamCast with this game that had particularly marked me by its choice of a camera and its desire to be a very realistic game: NBA2k. It's been more than 20 years and I still play NBA2k. The new features of NBA2k23 excited me so much that I wanted to get more involved. I bought it as a pre-order and went back to the Operationsport forum to talk to the community and report bugs... a lot of bugs... (more ... Read More

MLB 2K10 - a love letter...Part III 
07:51 AM - September 10, 2022. Written by Effectively_wild
I'll begin Part III with a digression...and that is a brief story of how I became an Os fan.
It's a conundrum that fans of a sport that is not native to their country have...and that conundrum is who to support in whatever given sport it is, if you have no pre-existing loyalty to a particular city, state or even part of the country.
This is the exact situation that I faced.
Who do I support?
Well the answer was quite straight forward in my case.
Before I was ... Read More

MLB 2K10 - a love letter...Part II 
05:16 AM - September 8, 2022. Written by Effectively_wild
I don't know if you're a believer in love at first sight. It's a strange phenomenon, an extremely personal and private experience for those individuals fortunate enough to experience it unequivocally.
Whether you believe in it or not is for you to know but what I can tell you is that on that day in May 2010, I fell in love at first sight.

As I mentioned in Part I, I was heavily into US sports from a young age (not to the mention football/soccer - a prerequisite for a boy in ... Read More

MLB 2K10 - a love letter, a decade in the writing 
10:01 AM - September 7, 2022. Written by Effectively_wild
Part I.
I'd like to take you back in time. May 2010.
At the time I was in my twenties. I was sitting in my living room having my hair cut and I turned on the TV as I usually did so that I didn't have to engage in too much mindless small talk with my hairdresser. We would usually watch a game or watch the sports news. That way we could both pass the time and my social awkwardness could stay repressed and hidden in amongst whatever small sport tradegy and triumph was playing out in ... Read More

INT types list for reference - M23 
03:21 PM - August 30, 2022. Written by Dagan
UPDATE: I always intended to come back to this after a while and give my thoughts. We're on Title Update 5, now, and...

I wanted to make a list somewhere for checking after however many updates/patches we'll get for M23. This list is the kind of wild INTs that I am seeing in the game release week/download week, and I will know to test them out after each update.

Bullet throws - FIXED

Lob throws - TIPS for INTs still happen, but I'm cool with that. ... Read More

Post Spring Power 5 College Football Preview 
12:44 AM - August 27, 2022. Written by sonshipsports
Is it really Alabama and everyone else AGAIN this year? It sure seems so. They return the defending Heisman trophy winner at quarterback, Bryce Young, the best pass rusher in the country in Will Anderson, and an entire team chocked full of athletes that decided to return for one-more-year instead of making the jump to the NFL. Losing the 2021 National Championship to Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs, after defeating them in the SEC Championship, has left a bitter taste in Nick Saban's Crimson Tides ... Read More
