Robert Griffin III was announced a few weeks ago as the cover athlete for NCAA Football 13 but many people noticed that there was a spot for a second person on the cover.  That second person will be a former Heisman trophy winner which fans will be able to choose.

EA Sports has set up an 8 man tournament of those Heisman winners with first round matchups of Barry Sanders vs. Andre Ware, Eddie George vs. Desmond Howard, Marcus Allen vs. Herschel Walker, and Doug Flutie vs. Charlie Ward.  The voting starts today at on the EA Sports Facebook page app.  Each round will last 7 days with the winner being revealed in 3 weeks.

A new roster update for NBA 2K12 arrived earlier today.  While there were some significant changes in the update, there are still a few players that were left out.  Gerald Green is still nowhere to be found.  Heat fans will love this update while fans of every other team will hate it.  LeBron James has achieved the coveted 99 overall rating which makes the Miami Heat even more of a nightmare to play.  Below are a few other notable changes.

Gerald Wallace decreased 83 to 81
Kenneth Faried increased 70 to 72
Kevin Durant increased 93 to 94

Who do you think deserves an increase or decrease in the next update?

NHL 13 Release Date Announced

nhl 13 release date revealed

Major retailers such as Amazon.com have the NHL 13 release date listed for September 11, 2012.  This announcement comes as no surprise considering that last year’s hockey game, NHL 12, came out on September 13th.  EA Sports generally releases demos for their games 3-4 weeks before the release date so we should be playing another hockey game by mid-August.

Amazon.com has the game available for pre-order about 6 months early, but if you are a true fan and want to make sure you get NHL 13 the day it comes out, you can do so by following this link.
