EA slaps Dwight Howard on NBA Live 10 cover
EA Sports is in full swing releasing all of the sports games they can, Fight Night Round 4, Madden 10, NHL 10 and now NBA Live 10. However, previous to now EA had kept both the cover and cover athelete under wraps.
As you can see above, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has gotten the honor of gracing the latest installment’s cover. Howard gave the following statement after the announcement:
“It’s an honor to be named as the cover athlete for NBA LIVE 10. This year has been a crazy ride and this is a cool way to cap it off. Of course – there is one more thing I’m on the hunt for that would complete it.”
I wonder what he’s on the hunt for? Maybe a final victory over the Lakers? Oh yeah.
Fight Night Round 4 dated for June 25th
Despite being previously announced to have a June 30th release date, EA has recently let us know that Fight Night Round 4 will hit shelves 5 days earlier on June 25th.
If you want to get a taste of the action before you throw down $60 there is a multiplayer demo available on Xbox Live.

New Fight Night Round 4 trailer showcases realism, awesomeness

Complete Fight Night Round 4 roster leaked

Recently leaked by means of a scanned Official Playstation Magazine page, the Fight Night Round 4 roster includes a full 50 fighters for you to choose from.
Not happy with the list? Nestled subtly above the list is a little tidbit that there is a possibility of more boxers being added via DLC.

EA accurately predicts winner of pro boxing match
Just as they did with the Stanley Cup and Super Bowl, EA has utilized one of their game engines to accurately predict the outcome of a sports match – This time around EA used Fight Night Round 4 to predict the winner of Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao, two boxers who duked it out this weekend.
The funny thing is they were right again, Pacquiao knocked out Hatton in the third round. Then again, EA said the game would last 11 rounds so they weren’t exactly spot on but close enough.
Expect Fight Night Round 4 to hit retailers on June 30th for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Fight Night Round 4 Trailer Takes Shot at Predecessor, Reveals Release Date
Never before has a publisher criticized its own game this much: EA has released a new trailer for Fight Night Round 4, hyping it by punching Round 3 right in the face.
"[In Fight Night Round 3], you often found that the gameplay degraded into two guys standing in front of each other and trading blows," says producer Brian Hayes. "You saw a very scripted, very repetitive experience where people stood in front of each other."
"What we’re really trying to deliver is the most realistic simulation of the sport of boxing ever in a video game….Fight Night Round 4, you see a much more fluid, natural game."
The trailer reveals a release date of June 30. It will be released on PS3 and Xbox 360.
