Madden Again Seeks To Put Up More Of A Defense
Around this time each year, Madden bombards us with the annual list of improvements they say they’ve made to the defence. And when the game gets arrives, I’m still usually playing it as I have for years: by calling a play and letting the CPU deal with it. But one new move does look useful for a tool like me.
Female Footballers Still Sidelined In FIFA 14
Women won’t make an appearance in FIFA 14, despite an insistent campaign of petitions to include them and a summit, last year, that left one organiser with the feeling that it was just a matter of time before women would be included in the world’s most popular video game for the world’s most popular sport.
So, Have You Voted On Madden’s Cover Enough Already?
Have you voted on Madden‘s cover enough already? Help Tecmo Super Bowl‘s de facto world championship pick its pun name for next year’s tournament. Remember when Chris Berman was funny? These are much better.

There are so, so many sports in the world that it seems a pity so few are properly realised in video games. We get football, another country’s version of football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and that’s about it, if you don’t count console mascots facing off every Olympics in a shameless cash-in.
For Men Who Play As Women, Tiger Woods Will Present A Difficult Choice
For two years now, golf fans have been able to create a female professional and play the men’s PGA Tour with her. The creation of an LPGA Tour mode in this year’s game is another step forward. It’s the tour’s first appearance ever in a console video game, and the first time gamers may play a career mode associated with a real-life women’s professional league.
The Most Hilarious Sports Game Glitches, Now In Motion
The constant progression of annual sport titles has another advantage besides the games getting more and more realistic every year. It creates moments where the players go nuts — suddenly, our ordinary game turns itself into Dragon Ball Z or Super Smash TV.
