PS3 NBA 2K12 Patch Arrives

nba 2k12 patch arrives

Over the last few weeks, there has been widespread freezing problem for NBA 2K12 fans who play on the PlayStation 3.  After booting up NBA 2K12, many users would see their game freeze up and lock them out.  2K Sports announced a temporary manually fix where users would have to delete some of their files just for the game to start.

A patch to permanently fix the loading problem was released yesterday.  NBA 2K12 should now work perfectly for all PlayStation 3 users.  If you are still having trouble, leave a comment below and I will relay it on to the community manager for NBA 2K12, Ronnie 2K.

MLB 2K12 Demo Arrives Next Week

mlb 2k12 demo release date

The MLB 2K12 demo will arrive on Tuesday, February 28th on both the XBOX 360 and the PlayStation 3.  Those who download the demo will be able to play in a World Series rematch of the Texas Rangers vs. the St. Louis Cardinals (but only for 3 innings). This is a giant leap forward for MLB 2K12.  They haven’t released too much information regarding their upcoming game but by releasing the demo, they allow fans to decide for themselves.

We still haven’t heard any news about a possible MLB 12: The Show demo.  It could be that SCEA feels that they have done a good enough job on previous games to establish credibility so they see no need to put a demo out.  If the MLB 2K12 demo is any good and there isn’t a MLB 12: The Show demo, some bargain hunting fans may decide to purchase the NBA/MLB 2K12 combo pack from Amazon for only $69.99.

Will There Be An MLB 12: The Show Demo?

With under 2 weeks until MLB 12: The Show hits stores, there is still no word from SCEA or Sony on a release date for the demo.  At this point many fans are speculating that there will not be a pre-release demo at all.  If in fact there is no demo, it sends a very negative signal to baseball video game fans.  There is still a very real possibility that the demo will be released next week.

The Show’s main competitor, MLB 2K12, has been even quieter about the possibility of a demo for their game.  Other than the Kate Upton video, the $1 million dollar perfect game competition, and a 5 point feature list, we don’t know anything about MLB 2K12.  When put against 2K12, MLB 12 The Show can’t do any wrong but not releasing a demo would really hurt the ability to expand their fan base.

NBA Live 13 Game Confirmed

nba live 13 confirmed!

EA Sport’s NBA Live series is back!  After attempting to re-brand the series into NBA Elite and then completely scratching it all together, Electronic Arts has decided to bring back it’s NBA video game series under it’s original name, NBA Live.  Earlier today Kyrie Irving tweeted that he was playing NBA Live 13 which EA later confirmed as the name of this year’s NBA game.

Even though many argue that 2K Sports has created the better “sim” basketball game over the last few years, having competition surely will not hurt.  There will be more news coming from EA Sports on NBA Live 13 coming next Monday.

Rumor: Madden 13 To Feature Kinect Support

A few days ago Amazon.com released their pre order page for Madden 13 and along with it an early cover of the game.  The cover for the XBOX 360 version clearly states that Madden 13 will have the capability to be played with the Kinect.  EA Sports hasn’t confirmed or denied this rumor but if it is true the possibilities could be pretty great.  However, the PlayStation 3 cover does not hint at any PlayStation Move capability.  It is still early but it doesn’t make too much sense why EA Sports would play favorites between the major consoles.

The Madden NFL 13 cover tournament kicks off on March 7th so the cover you see above will change.
