REVIEW | NBA 2K27 | THE GAME WAY BETTER THAN THE PRODUCT

NBA 2K27 makes its strongest case the moment the ball hits the hardwood, and starts losing it almost everywhere beyond the court. Once the game is in motion, Visual Concepts still knows how to make a convincing basketball simulation.Movement is responsive enough, defense has more purpose, contact carries more weight, individual players retain recognizable styles, and there is enough tactical depth beneath the controls to make a simple match...

REVIEW | TENNIS ELBOW 4 | SIMULATION READY, ANIMATIONS NOT

The first rally makes the priorities obvious. The ball has weight, spin changes its trajectory, poor positioning limits the available angles, and an attempted winner can collapse into an error when it is taken from the wrong place or struck under pressure. Instead of disguising tennis behind generous timing windows and dramatic presentation, Tennis Elbow 4 asks the player to understand spacing, anticipation, inertia, shot selection and risk. Holding a stroke button...

EA SPORTS FC27 GAMEPLAY REVEALED | PLAYERS MOVE, FOOTBALL NOT

EA has presented the official Gameplay Deep Dive for EA Sports FC 27, leading with a promise that should address one of the series’ oldest weaknesses: greater control across every mode.

EFOOTBALL | BEST FOOTBALL GAME, INCOMPLETE FOOTBALL GAME

Long before online seasons, weekly player cards and carefully engineered engagement systems, football games belonged to living rooms, small bedrooms and groups of friends who needed little more than two controllers and enough time for one more match. Winning Eleven, and later Pro Evolution Soccer, became part of that routine for us. We did not play each version for several weeks and move on. We played almost every day. A quick match regularly...
