EA Sports Marketing Machine Preps Football Fans For “Simpler, Quicker, Deeper” Madden NFL 11 “Locomotion” Experience

We touched on this a little yesterday in our “ Run the Darn Play I tell You To Run ” preview of Madden NFL 11, but now you can hear the folks at EA gush about their new “GameFlow” play calling system and “Locomotion” gameplay changes first hand in the first two installments of their five part developer video series. GameFlow will audibly call the play out to you much like an offensive/defensive coordinator does with their designated player on the field and Locomotion aims to add another level of authenticity to the handling and control of players on the field.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Marks The End of 25 Man Raiding?

Blizzard issued an update today addressing some changes that will effect raiding in the upcoming Cataclysm expansion, and it didn’t take long for some of the hard-core 25 man raiding faithful to question the logic.
