  • Google Buzz launched last week and its something I’ve started utilizing for extended discussion beyond the articles that have been posted to the site. Feel free to follow me from my profile page and I will return the favor. As always you can follow me on Twitter for a more frequent stream of news and thoughts. Both will be especially valuable for upcoming live coverage from events including E3 and Comic-Con.
  • If you are into team management and mock drafts make sure to check out the popular annual Pastapadre Mock Draft being held in the forum. This is very detailed so the rules thread is a good place to start out. There are teams still open to control if interested.
  • The developer behind Backbreaker, NaturalMotion, has copyrighted the name Icebreaker as discovered by Destructoid. Though many names are copyrighted and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything will be made for certain, it does imply a potential interest in creating a Euphoria based hockey game.
  • Some new screenshots for 2010 FIFA World Cup have been added to the gallery.
  • In an interview with Eurogamer it has been revealed that FIFA 11 will include some changes in an attempt to encourage players to finish up their online games or better penalize those who don’t. Is it ultimately futile though? It’s hard to imagine much that would convince people who are well on the way to a loss to go through the motions for another half hour or however long.

    I guess the question is do you believe people quit because they're trying to protect their rank or because they don't want to waste their time when a game isn't fun? I'd say its the latter which means punishing people more isn't going to matter.

    FIFA games are the shortest to complete out of all the sports games. It takes nowhere near a half hour to play FIFA, especially halfway through a game after you know you're beat.

    The way I see it is that if you're losing really bad, the guy playing you is probably better. It will only make you better to stick around and finish the game because you're getting good experience against tougher competition…and you might learn a thing or two.

    On default online settings, a game of FIFA is 6 minutes per half.
