March 11- Sports gaming Twitter updates

Kev5890 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:21:48 +0000

As many of you know Twitter has become extremely popular with developers. Unfortunately it is difficult to warrant a new post on The Sports Game Guy every time a developer says something. We have decided to add a feature to the site called “Sports gaming twitter updates”. When important information is released in Twitter you can expect to read it here. Today we have a twitter update from Ronnie2k about MLB 2k10. As well as Ian Cummings and Jeremy Strauser on Madden 11.

MLB 2K 10 360 Patch Coming Soon

MPDamon — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:51:06 +0000

2K Sports announced via Twitter that the 360 version of MLB 2K 10 has been submitted to Microsoft so as long as things go well it should be out in about 10 days or possibly sooner. No details of what the patch addresses are available yet but I will assume that Online play is addressed and the check swing should also be in this patch.

My hope is that they address some gameplay issues especially the AI base running. I have had multiple runners get caught off base after a play. This has happened with both the CPU AI players and my own AI runners.

Also nothing has been mentioned about a patch for the PS3 version yet but if there are gameplay enhancements in the 360 patch I would suspect they will also push those out to the PS3 users.

What problems (if any) have you been having with the game?

I see no end to this trend anytime in the near future. GameStop probably puts up a good amount for these as they seem to happen for about every game released. Here is the latest deal for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I don’t have any knowledge if the courses will be available in any other form after release.

From a GameStop email:

We’re also excited to bring you virtual access to some exclusive courses. Pre-order the PS3 version to get the GameStop Exclusive TPC Blue Monster at Doral as a premium download. Pre-order the Xbox 360 version to download the GameStop Exclusive Riviera Golf Club. Supplies are limited for both.

NHL 10 Roster Update #10 – Trade Deadline Moves

The NHL season is now three-quarters of the way through and teams are jockeying for position as the Road to the Stanley Cup officially begins. With the post-Olympic trade deadline past it’s tough to say which team made the best moves and only time will tell which players will respond and be that difference each GM hopes they will be.

This morning the EA SPORTS NHL team provided their regular update to include the latest trade deadline moves. Draft picks are not reflected in the update. AHL transactions are up-to-date as of March 4th while NHL lines are up-to-date as of March 5th.
