Your faithful pals on the Grading The Week crew are gamers and, full disclosure, have a love affair with EA Sports that goes back four decades now. (Tom Chambers’ “Fake Drive 2-Hand Slam” on “Bulls vs. Lakers” is still the most fun, unstoppable SEGA hoops move known to man, no matter what “NBA Jam” enthusiasts say.)
