GR: Who got next?
Growing up, I remember there were two sports titles my buddies and I couldn’t wait to be released in the last half of the year: Madden Football and NBA Live. Religiously, year after year, we would walk fifty miles, in the snow, holes in our shoes, no coats, no food rations, and very little water. All right, realistically, our parents would drive us to the local EB Games (who remembers EB Games?) for us to pick up a copy. But regardless of the journey, we knew for the next few months, these would be the games to play.
Over time, as always it would seem, EA Sports would run into competition for each respective title they would release. Madden had a few companies looking over its shoulder, Midway challenged the basketball brand tough, and 2K has always made a run for sports entertainment glory. But some way EA came out, at least commercially, as the best. From licensing to marketing, everyone seemed to have an idea of which brand would be best that year.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The Xbox One is home to dozens of great video games… but also some garbage. So like we did for the PlayStation 4, let’s take a look at the top 10 worst Xbox One games in today’s countdown!"
When NBA Live 14 was released last November, the reviews, as stated before, weren’t flattering. Many fours and fives were given out to the franchise’s first title in four years, which didn’t sit well with the development team at EA Sports.
These low scores lead the team to realize that they couldn’t just wait until NBA Live 15 was released to address a lot of the issues. Instead, they worked countless hours to prepare gameplay and visual updates to NBA Live 14 to prove to their audience that they weren’t just in it for the money.
“We got hammered, and we didn’t like seeing the scores that were coming in,” executive producer Sean O’Brien said.
PSBlog EU: "100s of deals to choose from in our May Madness promotion "
Yeah they need to put "eu" or "na" in the title... eu didn't get those 0.99 flash sales awhile back :(
@tiqila
They had some nice deals two weeks ago for Vita during their Golden Week sale. I picked up several games Y's, Persona, Muramasa and Chrono cross.
Was thinking about picking up SoulCalibur 5, but it's not the complete version (including DLC), so I won't bother.
Other than that, I seem to have most of the stuff I would want.
Think they announced it yesterday. Xblg members will now have discounts like PS+ along with the subscription model. So they don't keep their games when their gold runs out.
I'm a happy PS4 owner now but one thing I experienced MS did better when I gamed on the 360 was their deals.
The deals for the PS4 have been meager so far, to put it nicely.
@InMyOpinion
I've gotten Resogun, Contrast, Don't Starve, Stick it to the Man, some other crappy game, and Outlast all free on PS4.. Don't think Xbox One owners have anything like that.
@jacksons
Yeah resogun was surprisingly great and addictive. What was free on xone?
Two sports titles with a minimal following outside of the US dropped to a still unreasonable 45 quid... At 20 I may have been tempted just to play a bit of 2 player here and there... no chance at that cost.
Wow the list of deals blows compared to what we've seen with us flash and spring sales lately .
Especially when i remember the Atlus sales in US .
And on PS4 really ? you can't afford even a meager 10 off on decent retail games ? Nba live wich no one wants and Madden with the new one looming over ?
Why is Europe always getting these sick deals? What about the folks in the States?

killzone:sf is also $84 on the psn store in europe... na always has better sales and cheaper prices overall
;)
We have our share of bad sales too and no we don't have cheaper prices overall. Not for people living here.
To you, it seems like that, because your money is worth more than ours. Everything is cheaper in your eyes.
Still it's not about just "importing" digital cheaper thanks to rate exchange .
There are deal more often , especially from publishers that dont even have an european office .
Today's list is still quite a few stuff that was already free in the instant collection , very old , or not really that cheaper with sequels incoming . BAre a few exceptions of course .
Instant collection stuff is usually better in EU , but the sales ? Nah
Sounds about right. Hopefully this will be the base EA needs to build the franchise back up again.
