We seem to have hit a snag in MLB 12: The Show news. This usually happens between when most of the game’s details have been laid out up until when the demo comes out. PlayStation released a video today through ESPN showcasing Yankee’s pitcher C.C. Sabathia dominating many of the leagues top players in MLB 12: The Show. Red Sox fans need not watch.

THQ Aware of UFC Undisputed 3 Online Problems

Mixed martial arts fans have patiently waited for this day for about 2 years. Gamers who like to compete online were shocked to find that some online modes in UFC Undisputed 3 are not working exactly as they should. UFC Undisputed 2010 had terrible online lag which at times made the game unplayable. Since then THQ has switched to their own servers in an attempt to correct the problem but it still persists. There were reports of poor online quality from a few influencial bloggers and media outlets that received a copy of the game early but they were assured that everything would be good to go on release date. Community manager THQ Tank had this to say:
Just to reaffirm, we are fully aware some users are unable to access certain online features. Player matches do work flawlessly however right now. We are addressing this issue ASAP and should have a resolution or further update shortly today.
The good news is that they are aware of the problem and are actively trying to fix it. The bad news is that gamers really don’t care and expect a fully functionalproduct from day 1. If THQ can fix this problem quickly, they will avoid a huge disaster and UFC Undisputed 3 should go on to become a great success.

Jeremy Lin or Tim Tebow: Who Deserves The Higher Rating?
If you were to tune into SportsCenter at a random time 2 months ago chances are that you would see full-time coverage of Tim Tebow. Now that football season is over, most of us expected the sports world to return to normalcy. No one expected Jeremy Lin and “Linsanity” to steal every headline across the country. Both Lin and Tebow have people who claim them to be the savior of their franchises as well as those that claim they are nothing more than being in the right place at the right time.
That got us to thinking which player deserves the higher rating in their respective video game Madden 12 and NBA 2K12. We don’t have a definitive answer so we are leaving it up to you. Vote in our poll and then go to the comments section below and tell us what you think their ratings should be.
