It is clear that the major gaming platforms are going to feature exclusive sports licenses for the foreseeable future. It is also very likely the terms of exclusive deals will actually become a tad more favorable for developers in the new era of sports gaming licensing -- thus resulting in a dearth of sports gaming options if you are a gamer on the big box consoles only.
Soccer and Basketball are the only two sports ... Read More

In just about a week, THQ assets will be sold off title by title to the highest bidders.
Properties and licenses such as Red Faction, MX vs. ATV, Saints Row, and WWE are all going to be up for auction, for our sake we are most focused on WWE and where it is going to end up. Here are the most likely landing points for the WWE License:
Stay with Clearlake/THQ: THQ could wind up with the license still ... Read More

Forget the challenges.
Sometimes, some people just want to be able to start a dynasty and play with the easiest possible paths to a National Championship. NCAA Football, despite the increase in parity, still sees a lot of the same programs at or near the top of the mountain as it always has.
There is no mistake to why that is, because despite the fact more talent is spread out in more places, that talent ... Read More

It is the year of the sunset in sports gaming. Starting (likely) this fall, there will be a new generation of consoles with new technology and new capabilities unleashed on gamers everywhere.
That means this is a year of transition. For many franchises, foundations must be established on new consoles, for others preparations for a move next year must be made. In both instances, sports gaming has to avoid what ... Read More

That...just...happened.
The game everyone, including me and every other major sports gaming editor on planet earth thought dead, was announced this morning: Major League Baseball 2K13.
It is exciting news for sure, but I'm also a tad cynical. How much was 2K planning on this game? Has it gotten a full year development cycle or is this Major League Baseball's 'oh crap we don't have a game on XBox' moment ... Read More

Let's just get this out of the way right now, before we start talking NCAA Football 14 -- last year's edition of the game was a downer in so many ways. There were none of the improvements in NCAA that Madden received, in fact there weren't many improvements at all -- making NCAA 13 feel like NCAA 12.5.
Coming up this year, there are a lot of things that NCAA Football 14 simply needs to do in order to recapture the magic

The SEC could extend their National Championship winning streak tonight.
There is a lot on the line in tonight's National Championship, not the least of which is a big crystal football that'll be resting permanently either in Tuscaloosa, Alabama or South Bend, Indiana. Also, there is the matter of conference pride, as the SEC looks to lock up its seventh straight national title.

NBA 2K13 has a lot going for it as a game, not the least of which is the incredible 'build your own career' mode via MyCareer that 2K13 offers.
As our own Steve Noah put it, "It just has to be MyCareer."
However, it's interesting to note the staff vote on the Best Game Mode was actually quite split with the winning mode getting three votes out of our panel of ten staffers. Simply put, there was a VERY ... Read More

One of the biggest thing missing from sports video games is the ability to take your experience and all of your hard work with you when you switch games -- in fact that's something which has been missing from all games for quite some time.
With the rumor of the week being that Nick Saban is leaving Alabama for a return to the NFL after this season, it makes me wonder just how far away we are from being able to do ... Read More

I have been at Operation Sports for nearly five years now, and not once have we given a game a perfect 10 on our review scale. There have been some 9.5s, but never once has a game crept up over that magic 9.5 barrier. It's gotten to the point that I get e-mails and PMs about it, wondering if our scale is actually a 2.5 to 9.5 scale.
It's not.
First, remember our review scale was tweaked a couple of ... Read More

With the rise of more mainstream gaming devices which require less detailed development work, it's becoming clear there is a new market for sports games if the folks holding the licenses are willing to part with them for more ... Read More

Toronto, you're going to be accused of unrealistic AI if you keep this up.
First you make a ridiculous trade with Miami that most video gamers would've scorned for it's unrealistic lack of balance. Coming to the Blue Jays? Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio, and John Buck along with $4 million.
Leaving? Yunel Escobar, Jeff Mathis, Henderson Alvarez, and prospects Jake Marisnick, ... Read More
Every day this week, I'm going to profile one of the new schools that could be in NCAA Football 14 (or new schools that were included in NCAA 13) and give some basic pros/cons and background info on each program. So if you are a real college football fan or simply a digital only (or both) hopefully these guides have some real use for you!
University of South Alabama Jaguars
Location: Mobile, ... Read More

Albert Pujols. Josh Hamilton. Mike Trout.
That's not an MLB All-Star team, that's the front end of the Angels lineup starting in 2013 -- and that's the lineup of a team that is about to become insanely popular in MLB 13: The Show.
Currently, the projected best case scenario lineup for the Angels looks something like this:
1)Mike Trout
2)Erick Aybar
3)Albert Pujols
4)Josh Hamilton

Many Minor Bowls are simply played in front of half empty stadiums with little if any fan enthusiasm.
The four team playoff is coming sooner rather than later, for the 2014 Football Season. But let's face it, the Playoffs will have to expand sometime in the future, and I think the easiest path and most inclusive path forward will be via a six team bracket with the top five conference champs and a single at-large team ...
