15 September stories that only GameSided brought to you
By Brian Allen
If you're not getting your sports gaming news from GameSided, you are missing something. Lest you think that's puffery or hyperbole, I brought the receipts. Here are 15 stories we covered last month you didn't see on any other site:
1. WWE 2K24 Scott Steiner Glitch: In a bizarre situation, a glitch turned one of wrestling's best known strongmen into a guy who can't lift one pound. Don't they know he is not normal?
2. NBA 2K25 Auction House Issues: Players rejoiced when NBA 2K brought back the auction house, but questionable bans have reminded us that 2K's thumb still weighs heavily on the scale.
3. WWE 2K24's Global Superstars Pack: Most gaming sites told you that this was out, but nobody dove deeper than we did. After a DLC pack that almost nobody wanted, this one was a refreshing change of pace.
4. Zen Cheaters in NBA 2K25: 2K's efforts to combat cheating simply haven't been going as well as the designers or the players had hoped. 2K didn't necessarily help matters by taunting the cheaters during the preseason.
5. Grudge Match in NHL 25: I have railed against the evils of X-Factors, but I have to admit the way NHL 25 is handling them sounds cool. This actually feels like pro sports, which is what we want from our sims.
6. Any player at any position glitch in NBA 2K25: This is one of the most gamebreaking glitches in any title right now, and as of this article's publication it still hasn't been addressed.
7. Track race glitch: It's part of our commitment to sports gaming news. We don't just tell what was patched, we tell you why.
8. Tier 2 Chicago Bulls in NBA 2K25 Play Now Online: This isn't a glitch, but it feels like one. Anytime you get more ranking points for using Michael Jordan, you should probably do that.
9. Why shots are hitting the rim in NBA 2K25: You could argue shooting in NBA 2K has gotten too complex, and I have. But this shows that at least some of the system is working as intended.
10: Tampa Bay Buccaneers play throws it back to College Football 25: No muss, no fuss. Sometimes we just give you great money plays to run in Madden.
11. Christian McCaffrey Madden Curse: Shocking lack of Madden Curse discussion out there. I'm not a superstitious person, but this stuff is weird.
12. MLB The Show goes out of position: You never took the easy way out, MLB The Show. You never relied on extra credit. Until now, that is. MLB The Show admitted that by August, it has given you every possible permutation of Randy Johnson it can think of. Except putting him in left field.
13. MUTLeaks: Madden Ultimate Team has a serious leak, and it doesn't show any signs of being plugged soon.
14. NBA 2K MyTEAM Under the Microscope: When playing video games and creating content about them for a living has ceased to be fun, it's time to take a serious look at your game.
15. Corndog: As I said, sometimes we just tell you what the best plays in your favorite sports games are.
