This is bad news. Madden 23 plays just fine on the field -- it's perhaps the best and most realistic game of console football I've played. "Make or break" is EA marketing BS for "Let's introduce a bunch of new features that no one wants and change the already solid physics and AI of the game complet...

JAAAAACK! Good to hear from you, man. Hope you're still spinning at 33 1/3, forward revolutions ... That Backbone unit looks cool. I'm still rolling along in console land, but that gizmo looks like a nice option for phone-only gaming. The touch controls of phone gaming always have bothered me compar...

With the bloody Rangers acquiring V. Tarasenko and the Blues retaining 50% of his salary, NY becomes an instant candidate for me at Lord’s Stanley. That kid line led by Lafreniere, all kinds of speed with the forwards and the addition now of Tarasenko, scoring will come in bunches for them. Wouldn’...

How Rutherford claimed Boudreau publicly that he didn’t have any structure in his D was disgusting, even though it wasn’t his original hiring you just don’t throw your coach under the bus to the media that crave stories like that. Even worse: Rutherford confirmed the Canucks were looking for replac...

The Canucks' organization is a dumpster fire. They treated Boudreau like crap, hired a coach in Tocchet with a losing track record and probably should have gotten more for Horvat.

As an Oilers' fan, I shed ZERO tears.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is free this weekend for GamePass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold subscribers. The best pure driving experience I've ever enjoyed on a console. Worth checking out if curious.

Did 2K Sports lose the PGA Tour license or did the Tour issue the license to multiple developers, including EA? Quite weird if the latter, as exclusivity is almost a prerequisite for sports licensing deals these days.

Anyone else watching/watched "Welcome to Wrexham" on FX? What a delightful show! It's a docuseries about the purchase of Wrexham AFC, a small, lower-level pro soccer team in northeast Wales, by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Really shows what a football club means to a small UK t...

All I can think is "L.A. Noire" is a Rockstar title, and its games aren't sold at 5 cents on the dollar ever -- even in sales. GTA V still sells for $20. Or Rockstar had to pay "L.A. Confidential" author James Ellroy a healthy fee to build a game based on his book, and Rockstar is trying to earn bac...

Anyone remember L.A. Noire? It's not on sale but when it is i'll get that as I think that has been remastered too. I've never played L.A. Noire, but it amazes me how that game's retail price has stayed at $40 even though it was released in 2017. It's on sale this week for $20. A 5-year-old game is ...

Stick and ball: MLB The Show 22 or FIFA 23

Racing and overall sports game of 2022 for me: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Racing

Greatest game these eyes have ever seen. Yep. Only comps that come to my mind immediately are 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul and Aguero scoring in extra time on the final day of the 2012 season to snatch the title from one side of Manchester to the other. U.S. women winning the 1999 World ...

All things considered, that final was one of the most extraordinary sporting events I've seen. Breathtaking.

Just speechless now. In tears actually as I think of dad. Best finals in awhile, the game had everything, the best team won. Hate that it went to penalties but in the end Messi deserved to go this way. Because of generations, my love for the other #10 that passed, I always had Maradona as my hero b...

And out of nowhere Chivalry 2!!!! Wow gamepass with the slam dunk! Teal and I have played this game quite a bit this week, and it's FUN AS HELL. Chivalry II is a perfect blend of old and new school. It's very pretty, with fluid animations and easy controls. But it's also repetitive in the sense tha...

With his hat trick the gre8t OV scored his 800th goal in the league just a score shy of tying Gordie Howe Record of 801. Who’s says that in the next couple of years if he stays healthy he doesn’t beat what seemed impossible for ages and surpass Gretzky’s all time record? He will break 99's record. ...

Haven’t had so many mixed emotions in one day for awhile. From witnessing the burial of my Dad today to watching the magic of Messi at its best. Both Brazil and Argentina played thrillers more so the latter game when the Orange tied it in the last minute only to be decided in PKs. So sorry for your...

Speaking of that..... TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 Announced: May, 2023 Release https://racesimcentral.net/tt-isle-of-man-ride-on-the-edge-3-announced-may-2023-release/ Yesterday during Milan Games Week, RaceWard Studio (who I thought had fully re-branded to Nacon Milan – because that’s what...

TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 is on sale for $12. Tackling the 37.7-mile Mountain Course around the Isle of Man is perhaps the toughest -- yet most enjoyable and rewarding -- racing experience I've had on a console. This game is TOUGH. But man, it's fun. The sense of speed is just insane for a s...

And yes I don’t need to express my sentimentalism for Argentina here, but I know this is indeed his last crack at it along Ronaldo and the only trophy missing in his great career.

I'm not English; I would LOVE to see Argentina win the whole thing.

I'm normally geeked out of my mind for the World Cup, but not this one, for a few reasons. One, the corruption and cynicism. Yes, corruption and cynicism are synonyms for FIFA, but this World Cup is the most greedy and amoral in the tourney's long history of soiled shorts. That's saying something. Q...

On what was a great day for tiny racing achievements, I also finally got round the Mountain Course on Isle of Man TT 2 without falling off the bike. I was quite pleased with myself until I checked the Supersport leaderboard and found that the top dog could have finished his lap, quit the game, Quic...

Allen has sucked the last two to three weeks. Forget the MVP campaign -- let's just try to win a playoff game. We're gonna find out soon enough that his elbow is really f'd and he's trying to do too much with the limitation. It's the only thing I can think of. Hard to go from a top 1-3 QB over the ...

Bills have lost 3 games because Josh Allen regressed to his 2 years ago self. This started in the 2nd half of the Packers game and has keep on going. I would love to disagree with you as the resident Bills' fanatic here. I can't. You nailed the bull's-eye, Dan. Allen has sucked the last two to thre...
