Folks are desperate for a new boxing game, and so Prince Horton checked out the Art of Boxing, a video game in early access on Steam. The game is very early, so take the video for what it is and try not to jump to too many conclusions — as someone who has worked in game development, yes, games can and do look this rough early on and sometimes almost until the end when they magically get way less buggy.

Despite flaws elsewhere in career mode, FIFA 20 does a decent good job when it comes to player progression. Through the training module, you can target areas of weakness and, depending on how good you are at the training drills, you can really hone in and progress your players. As an added bonus, getting better at training drills not only helps your players but helps you as a FIFA player whether it be learning new commands or refining your skills.

Our simulation has played out over the last few weeks, with it now culminating with our final simulation to determine the Stanley Cup champions. To check out our results from the Conference Finals, view them here. Let’s take a look at how NHL 20 sees the action from the Stanley Cup Finals playing out.

It’s hard to argue against the Team Affinity concept being a big win this year, especially when comparing it to past versions in MLB The Show. The rewards are some of the best in the game, and it’s always easy to look at a new team and start focusing on grinding towards the Team Affinity reward players. With the introduction of real minor leaguers, it’s also opened up a new avenue for SDS in terms of creating more variety and content for Diamond Dynasty and the Team Affinity programs.

OS forum member Armor and Sword does a great job keeping a running tally of all the MLB The Show rosters (both real and fictional) together in one repository on the forums. The great thing about this thread is it encompasses all varieties of the top rosters, and also keeps track of rosters from previous versions of The Show.

SkillzFromThe6 has been hard at work while collaborating with a few other folks to create an in-depth college hoops roster that also has a touch of the National Basketball League in it (as it features LaMelo Ball and R.J. Hampton). The roster file now includes 84 teams overall, and it’s worth checking out if you still want a college basketball fix on the PS4. Here is some of the most important info for this NBA 2K20 college basketball roster.

We have been highlighting xAPATHYx’s roster so it does not need much introduction anymore. It is a well put together and cared for custom roster for Madden 20 on Xbox One. Here are the latest updates following the first round of the NFL Draft from xAPATHYx.

Milestone is back with the latest installment of their officially licensed motorcycle racing IP, MotoGP 20, and with the actual season postponed for now, the timing of this release could not have come at a more perfect point. Now, MotoGP fans have a chance to dive in digitally and replay the 2020 season in a way that real life will never be able to replicate.
