A Look At The Fun Of NHL Games For Xbox & Playstation Game Consoles Today
When lots of people who have at some point been games console players look back at their youth, then it seems so great back then. Every little thing as a child seemed bigger and better than when you grow up. That is of course apart from sports and NHL games for Xbox & Playstation game consoles. In the last thirty years we have been privileged to benefit from the advances in technology.
You don't see any kids these days that could get excited about pushing a little white dot around the screen that is supposed to be a puck.The matchstick men that were supposed to resemble a fully padded out Ice hockey player have gone too. Kids still want to play games that they perceive as fun though.
The problem that has prevailed over the years is that while the ability of computer graphic artists and programmers increased, the consoles were behind. Now though, we are at a stage where the technology has gone so far that our ability to use it is lagging behind. But it matters little about which is better, graphics or game play, the game player of today wants it all.
Some of the best games in history were never that good looking but you just had to go back for more. One of the most famous video games ever was built around a ball dodging assailants in a maze and eating other balls on the way. Another very famous title which is still around today was just based on falling blocks that had to be arranged as they dropped. While both of these games had the very best levels of playability, they really paid little attention to detail with the presentation. The genius that invented either of those really understood what makes people tick. Sadly their talents will be missed but they paved the way forward for sports and action games makers. Now Hockey games are particularly entertaining on any games platform because they combine control, timing and quick perception. These are all vital components in any entertaining sports game. Thankfully there are many talented programmers working hard to produce something that they also like. Really that has been key to making hockey games that can be played on a games console. They have had to make something that a true hockey professional has put their name to in many cases. So it's not just about making something that looks pretty but is awful or slow to move. On the other hand it is not been a good idea to make something that has been easy to move but looks terrible. People and especially the younger generation of today are extremely luck to be able to play NHL games for Xbox & Playstation game consoles the way that they do. So much has been done over years of development that it's hard to comprehend what early games were like. Suffice to say they were cumbersome at best.

A Short NBA Live 2010 10 Video Game Overview For The PlayStation And Xbox
This is an NBA Live game review for PlayStation and Xbox. NBA Live is one of EA's most popular video games. Each year, numerous basketball games are released but NBA Live's yearly version always seems to be among the front runners. 2010's edition is no different, with its quality graphics, user input, and animations, this very last version of NBA Live has received extremely positive reviews.
NBA Live 2010 featured additional jerseys, a first for the franchise. Throwback jerseys from the 1980s and 1990s were added in as well as several alternate ones for a number of teams. Using special codes, even more uniforms and shoes can be unlocked. It is unsure if every team will receive new game jerseys but two codes have been announced so far and more are likely to come.
The game's graphics also received a massive overhaul. It features smoother and quicker animations that allow for a more maximum play. Items like the courts and lights were designed to look more realistic. When enhanced on a plasma screen, the game is grainier but overall looks extremely well. Other smaller graphics like the background and the players are more detailed as well. Unlike previous installments, this year's NBA Live game has a much more realistic background. The members of the crowd were designed to look more real and lifelike. Even the players themselves were give more exact and personal details such as tattoos, hairstyles, and other accessories. The basketball stars in this edition were made to be more easily recognized than previous ones.
The game's controls were altered slightly so that it isn't necessary to control the players one hundred percent of the time. Using this auto mode can result in more turnovers though. For those who want to, it is quite possible to expand the control over the players. Game play on this year's NBA Live was made simple enough so that even someone who has never played any basketball video games will still be able to get the hang of it. Actions like passing and shooting are single button functions. Both of the PlayStation and Xbox use the main joy stick on the controllers to move the players around. It is simple to play defense as well, just position one of the basketball players in front of one from the opposing team will result in the sim automatically doing the rest. The update of the player DNA system from past games has significantly improved as well. The 2010 edition's DNA updates individual player's tendencies and attributes almost instantly. This year's game will also allow users to play real games almost as they happen in the real world. And with the NBA team's rosters and line ups updating instantly in the game, it makes for a much improved Dynasty Mode as well.
This version's soundtrack was revamped and updated to more current artists and bands. This year, there are a lot more songs, which drastically cuts down on the redundancy of music during the training mode and games. The tracks were even programmed to react to the tempo of the games to get the user more involved.

FIFA Soccer Games For XBox And Playstation - The Differences And Alterations
Electronic Arts has always had an ace up its sleeve with their FIFA license. From 1993, they gained the FIFA license to published and develop FIFA-based games. Up until the present, they still maintain this license and have grown the franchise to be one of the biggest football games in existence. It has seen phenomenal improvements since its first iteration and the player base has grown substantially. While there are other competitors in the field, the FIFA license gives them a leg-up over them and provides their FIFA soccer games for XBox and Playstation a much higher success rate due to success and credibility.
FIFA 07
FIFA 07 was released in September 2006 and marked the beginning of the next generation FIFA games. Available on the XBox 360, it focuses on refinement, rather than growth. The available teams have been reduced to the four European leagues, plus other national teams. To improve immersion, the atmosphere has also been improved with the crowd's ability to react to events throughout the game with small pockets of away support cheering in certain parts of the stadium or the home crowd being local to the region.
2007
'Be a Pro Mode' has been improved since the previous games as it now allows the user to play a single player, rather than having the ability to swap between any of the team. Additionally, the multiplayer aspects of the game have been improved, such as allowing online cooperative play and interactive leagues between players. This means players can choose a league and team to play against a real opponent and also includes trick moves, a bonus over previous iterations of this mode. FIFA 08 also saw an overall decrease in speed throughout the game.
2008 - FIFA 09
Containing perhaps the largest assortment of improvements from any of the FIFA games, this one contains hundreds, according to the game's producer. An addition to the gameplay is the responsiveness refinement, which allows for an increased measure of control over the ball and a new collision system that takes into account the speed, weight and power of the two players that collide. The goalkeeper has also seen its own improvement as they now utilize better positioning, recovery and reactions.
The weather system has also been improved to allow for rain, snow, day, dusk and night matches, dependent on the stadium. Manager mode does not see the weather changes. Again, this is not an exhaustive list, but these are some of the major additions and changes.
2009 - FIFA 10
The latest in the franchise, FIFA 10 brings about many new additions to the Manager Mode that many players have welcomed. A new Assistant Manager can sort out your team for you while you focus on the the larger gameplay. Furthermore, sponsors are less important, while the club's board of directors are more so, due to their ability to dish out whatever wages they feel your team deserves. The Auto-Resolve option for matches now takes into account the team's overall strength, rather than randomly choosing a winner.

Joe Cole interview with Rivalspot: He's the best I've faced
Ask Joe Cole about his battles on the soccer field and you will get answers that invoke memories of famous clashes between English soccer powers.
“It’s always very competitive,” says Cole. “You take intense guys and let them play and that's what happens.”
But rather than say, Chelsea vs. Manchester United or Liverpool vs. Arsenal, Cole isn’t talking about any sort of real-life action on the pitch. Instead, Liverpool’s newest midfielder is referring to heated games of virtual soccer on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.
"Oh yeah," laughs Cole. "We get pretty into it."
Born during the rise of Nintendo and Sega in the 1980s, the 28-year old from London grew up during the perfect time to pick up video games. And like many from that generation, he did just that.
“I’ve been playing since I was a kid,” says Cole, who signed with the Reds this summer. “Especially the sports games, since they are the most competitive.”
That competitive spirit has brought Cole north to Liverpool this season, following five seasons with West Ham United and almost 300 appearances with Chelsea, where he won three Premier League titles and two FA Cups.
Now, after watching the Reds struggle to a seventh-place finish in 2009, he is ready for the challenge of lifting Liverpool back to elite status.
“I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t believe we were capable of achieving something great,” says Cole of his new home, “I’ve always admired Liverpool as a club and it was time for a change in my career.”
His play on the pitch won’t be the only challenge facing Cole as he prepares for his first season at Anfield. As a video game junkie, he’s also set to take his gaming habits to the screen.
“I’m sure we’ll have at least a few games,” says Cole of challenging his new teammates. “I’m looking forward to seeing who’s the top guy.”
This is nothing new for Cole, who made a habit of playing FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer tournaments with teammates at Chelsea, while facing off with various members of the England national team.
“It’s a great social thing to do while you’re travelling and living in hotel rooms,” he says. “Someone’s always got a Playstation or an Xbox.”
Cole is personally addicted to both soccer games and, surprisingly, to the boxing titles as well.
“I’ve always enjoyed boxing,” he says, “and it’s crazy having fighters from different eras in Fight Night. I love having someone like Mike Tyson facing Mohammed Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard fighting Ricky Hatton.”
And Cole says he fares better with the boxing titles than with the football games, allowing him to get just a little bit more ambitious.
“I usually win at the boxing and lose at the football,” laughs Cole, “so I only put down wagers with my friends on something like Fight Night.”
When it comes to the soccer titles, though, there has still been plenty of excitement between men more famous for scoring goals on the real-life pitch than on the screen.
“I used to get in heated games with JT (John Terry) because he’s a very competitive player,” says Cole, who then joked that Terry might not be fond of his pick as the best gamer on the English team.
“I think JT would claim he’s the best and he’s very good, but it has to be Shaun Wright-Phillips,” he laughs.
“(Wright-Phillips) is incredible at any game you want to play and you rarely see him without a pad (controller) in his hand, wherever you are, travelling around the world. Practice makes perfect and I hate saying it, but he’s the best.”
As for the upcoming season, Cole will find himself in a promising situation after making the move to Liverpool. Having been presented with the opportunity to play behind superstar striker Fernando Torres, he couldn’t be more excited about his new role.
“I’ve watched and admired Fernando for many years,” says Cole, “and it’s the job of Steven (Gerrard) and me to create as many chances for him as possible.”
Much like a video game character, Torres has thrilled crowds with electrifying goals that don’t quite seem possible, and has Cole salivating at the possibilities for 2010.
“We’re one of the few clubs with a player capable of scoring 30-plus times,” says Cole, “and if he can do that, anything can happen for the club.”
As far as his character in video games, Cole is still tickled to see himself there after many years of FIFA and Pro Ev.
“It’s a funny feeling,” he says of seeing himself on the screen, “but it’s great.”
And asked about his managerial strategy with past teams like Chelsea and England, Cole jokingly admits to a touch of personal bias
“If your morale or fitness isn’t good, it’s still very difficult to drop yourself from the lineup,” he says. “You don’t want to leave yourself out.”
Of course, the ultra-competitive Cole also strays from playing with his real-life teams, wanting the upper hand in talent when he takes to the virtual pitch.
“If you’re playing for a wager, you want the best team,” he says, preferring Barcelona and Spain when he has first choice.
“They’re the easiest to play with,” says Cole of those squads. “You have wingers like Messi and Iniesta and they move the ball really well. I think most people would choose them.”
Cole’s personal playing style certainly works well with either of his favorite teams, as he fashions himself as a “dribbler” in both FIFA and Pro Ev.
“You get some players who pass a lot, but I like to get the ball out wide to the wingers and get crosses into the box,” he says. “That’s the great part about these games, is that everyone plays a different style.”
And being a professional soccer player, Cole’s knowledge of the game is clearly beyond the average fan. Asked about the relationship between real-life matches and an increasingly realistic game of FIFA, he agrees it can be a strong asset.
“You have to set proper formations and know what your team likes to do,” he explains. “If you’re playing with a team that likes to play the long ball you have to use that strategy, and if they like to play short passes, that’s the way to be successful.”
There is plenty of soccer ahead in Cole’s near future, both on the pitch at Anfield and on his widescreen television, as Liverpool’s newest star gets set to tackle his list of challenges that includes turning around the squad and raising a young family in a new town.
“It’s new and exciting,” says Cole of moving his wife and baby daughter, “we’re all getting settled and finding our feet.”
And as for his work on the pitch, the Reds midfielder can’t wait to get started.
“I’m sure given time to settle in,” says Cole, “we can be a great fit, Liverpool and myself.”
Just leave him some time to play his video games at Rivalspot, ok?
