Prince from OverBro Media breaks down characters and special abilities from Super Buckyball Tournament in his latest video for us. Super Buckeyball Tournament is a 3-on-3 sports game that combines handball, robots and a couple other elements into a potpourri of carnage. There are special abilities, and what’s here so far looks promising.

In Run The Triple episode 2, The Red Scourge discusses how his team is built and how the offense is coming together with Army in NCAA Football 14. He then jumps into gameplay with his squad.

In the latest Coach’s Corner, CoachEB goes on a four verticals deep dive for Madden NFL 20. In the video, he takes a look at how to attack the more common defensive coverages with the concept (Cover 2, 3, 1 and 4), and a few simple adjustments that can make it effective in just about any game situation.

In this tutorial from Books Nelson, the man at AtMeBro shows us how to pull off the NBA 2K20 advanced dunks assigned to your characters in MyTeam, Play Now Online, MyGM, MyLeague, PARK, and Pro-Am.

There’s a common refrain that “it used to be better” mentioned by some sports gamers, and this usually comes back to features that have vanished over the years from our beloved sports games. Developers have introduced cool features in the past, then removed them, then sometimes brought them back and acted like they’re new again. It’s really its own cycle in a way. With that in mind, Matt Ederer hits us up with the top 5 features removed from Madden over the years.

Attention MyTeam Players: DO NOT Open “Super Packs”. They’re really not very super. I got suckered in with a “bonus VC” offer on the home screen of MyTeam, and went for it to open a 10-pack box. Two Nicolas Batum cards (and eight other pieces of garbage) later, I literally thought to myself, “Wow that sucked, now I have to open another 10 pack box to try and make this worth it.”

Matt10 and the OS FIFA community have been hard at work all year trying to perfect and tweak sliders that work for a majority of folks in FIFA 20. Version 3 came out a couple days ago, and it also came with two other sets of sliders that you can use to help modify your experience. To put it another way, think of version 3 as the base sliders, and then the other two sets are there to help you tweak the game if you want it a little harder or want to tweak the game to work better with shorter halves.

NCAA-Football-14

Michael Kramer originally put together a tutorial on how to update your schedule to 2020 on the Xbox 360, and now here is the tutorial for how to do it on the PS3.

The newest event series has gone up and it’s the Live Series events. The Live Series 1 event goes up to 100 wins, and the big gets are at 35 and 50 wins. At 35 wins you get the infamous Kenny Lofton — most notably infamous from MLB The Show 19 — and diamond Fred McGriff at 50 wins. This event will run for about a week, and we may or may not get a new Live Series event right after it. Regardless of whether SDS does events back to back for the Live Series, just know your win totals will carryover to Live Series Event 2 whenever that happens. In other words, don’t feel like you need to get 100 wins in a week.

If there is anything else you would like to see in the OS weekly wrap-up, feel free to let us know in this post. Otherwise, enjoy getting caught up and we will see you next Sunday.
