Game Room: August Roundup

Even though you don't really need any new reasons to pick up the biggest sports title of every year, the folks at EA spit out a few more improvements for the latest build of their cash cow franchise. Three-on-Three online play will revolutionize the way you play sports video games, allowing you to team up with two buddies on either side of the ball and take on a separate trio of gamers online. You can also blaze through games in half an hour thanks to the new GameFlow play calling system, which calls the plays for you and is impressively realistic if you use a blue tooth to listen to the offensive coordinator bark out directions before each snap. Gus Johnson even joins the team to liven up the commentary track.

Score: 9/10
