    Yet another addition to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service made its way today in the form of The Golf Club 2. Originally released in 2017, The Golf Club 2 was generally well received despite a few deficiencies including the lack of any licensing. It ended up winning the PCA for 'Best New/Non-Annual Sports Game' of the Year. The licensing aspect was specifically addressed with its follow-up The Golf Club 2019 that followed last year by introducing the PGA Tour and several authentic co...

    It has been nearly six years since the release of NCAA Football 14. That game was the last of its kind - a college sports video game featuring all of the necessary licensed properties along with fully editable and shareable rosters. All these years later and there remains no imminent return of a college football game from EA Sports or any other publisher/developer. The Ed O'Bannon case ended in favor of active and retired athletes but with nothing resolved on the front of being able to co...
