NFL Draft Moving To May Starting 2014

NFL Draft Football
Radio City Music Hall Will Start Seeing The Draft In May, Starting Next Year; League Year Also Being Pushed Up 2015

The wait for the NFL Draft might be a little longer, as the NFL and the NFLPA are finishing a new 3-year deal to move the event to May starting 2014. Radio City Music Hall will now be used for the Spring Spectacular during the final weekend of April starting next year as well, which gave both sides more incentive to make the deal happen sooner.

One of the only positives from this new announcement will be the start of the league year and NFL Free Agency moving ahead of the Indianapolis scouting combine beginning in February 2015. The NFLPA wanted chance for free agents to find jobs easier with the long gap in between the league year and the draft in May. The 2014 Draft will take place May 15-17 with the following years to follow being the first week in May for 2015 and 2016.

Our take. In May, all major Networks (ABC, NBC, CBS etc.) get a boost in ratings due to sweeps week for the Nielsen ratings. This move was strictly done for the NFL marketing initiative to shorten waiting time for the June mini-camps and mandatory rookie camp, building hype for their prime-time Draft special. This is a win-win for both sides with the NFL getting their TV share revenue and the NFLPA looking out for their own veterans.

Click image to watch Splinter Cell Blacklist “Co-Op” trailer

Three years ago when Splinter Cell: Conviction released, which was one of the most enjoyable experiences we had playing online co-op with our friends. The mode and missions were limited due to Ubisoft’s focus on making a playable title for the masses to be reintroduced to the series properly. Splinter Cell: Blacklist has been a title we’ve been looking forward to the most, and with this new co-op trailer, we’re more excited than ever.

Sam Fisher reunites with Isaac Briggs, as the two head into the battlefield through 14 different maps and multiple missions tied to the main storyline. We’ll also see four different mission styles for the co-op missions, which you can and a friend will enjoy endless hours of quality gameplay (Kudos to Ubisoft).

You can check after the jump to watch the new trailer and get a sense of what stealth missions you’ll be doing later this summer when it hits shelves on August 20th.

10 Things We Want To See From The Next Xbox

xmain

The next Xbox reveal is in less than 24 hours, and Microsoft is ready to let the world in on their little secret (the big mystery Xbox we still have no name for). This has been the longest, most enjoyable (due to online gaming) and most annoying console generation, due to the technology being nearly a decade old and developers having trouble figuring out how to push the limits of the PS3.

The PC audience is already playing beyond levels capable in the current console world and maybe the next consoles as well (see Battlefield 3 and The Witcher). While the Xbox 360’s lifespan is finally coming to an end, we’ve compiled a list of things we’d like to see improved on the next console in comparison to some things we suffered this go-around.

Beforehand, we’re not going to talk about custom modded games or mods PC audience, because it’s not properly used on consoles —with the exception of Halo Forge. Both Microsoft and Sony limit the freedom you have on their systems, which is what makes PC gaming standout, in comparison to being stuck in a box, literally. From the RROD to online servers going down with the biggest launch days we’ve seen in gaming history, we’re just venting here about what we don’t want to see for the “next-gen.”

Let us know if you agree with us or use the comments to tell us what you want to see yourself. This list is strictly done from personal experiences and encounters we’ve had with Xbox 360 since 2005; so we expect you to have a few of your own as well.
