The official release date for Madden 13 is scheduled for August 28th, 2012. Usually the Madden NFL games come out on the second Tuesday of August but last year EA Sports decided to move the release date back 3 weeks. The only other news we have so far is the Madden 13 cover tournament which will be a 64 man tournament with 2 players from each team battling for the cover.

After months of secrecy, EA Sports has announced the official release date for NCAA Football 13. You will be able to get your copy of NCAA 13 on July 10th, 2012. The demo for the NCAA Football games historically comes out about 3 weeks before the release date which means that we could be playing virtual football again as early as mid-June.
Last year’s NCAA Football 12 game came out on July 12th so this year’s release date is not out of the ordinary, however it is still news. There is still no other information concerning NCAA Football 13 available at this time.

As most of you know by now the Madden 13 cover vote tournament kicks off on March 7th. This year’s tournament will feature 64 players with 2 from each NFL team. Teammates will square off against each other in the first round of the tournament for the right to represent their team in the later rounds.
Fans will have to make the tough decision on whether to vote for their favorite player or whether to intentionally vote for them to lose. Since many people are afraid of the Madden curse striking their team’s best player it may be wise to vote against them. Look at how the Colts did this year without Peyton Manning. Losing your best player can ruin the whole season. How good would the Vikings be without Adrian Peterson? What would the Jaguars do without MJD? The Patriots without Tom Brady would be a disaster.
The Madden 13 cover vote is a great publicity stunt by EA Sports to get people talking about the game 5 months early. Odds are that Tim Tebow will win in an easy landslide victory. Even so, will you be voting for or against your favorite player in Madden 13?

Major League Baseball is unique from all of the other major professional sports because of the different roads that MLB players take to get to their. In this MLB 12: The Show video preview, players such as Josh Hamilton, C.C. Sabathia, and many more go over some of the struggles that they overcame to make it to the big leagues. MLB 12: The Show comes out March 6th on both the PS Vita and PlayStation 3.
One of the coolest features in MLB 12: The Show is the cross platform compatibility function. Essentially this allows you to take a game that you were playing on your PlayStation 3 directly to your PS Vita. So if you were in the middle of a close game in the 8th inning but you had to go somewhere and you just couldn’t wait to finish the game, you could finish it up on your PS Vita. It works the other way as well. If you have some free time at work, you can start a game on your PS Vita and finish it up on your PS3 when you get home.
Sony released a video advertisement showcasing this new feature on their PlayStation Youtube channel. You can see it below:
The second NBA 2K12 roster update in the last 3 days has been released today. In the last update, Jeremy Lin was boosted from a 55 to a 69. Many fans did not think that a 69 was a fair rating based on the way he has been playing lately so after this update Jeremy Lin now is a 75 overall.
2K Sports has been all over the place this year in the consistency of their roster updates. Before the update 3 days ago, we had to wait 3 very long weeks before Jeremy Lin’s play forced them to correct his stats. Is 75 overall a fair rating for Lin? Let us know in the comments section.
