Another NBA 2K12 Roster Update Arrives

nba 2k12 roster update

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.

Top 5 Strikers in FIFA 12

Top 5 Strikers in FIFA 12

Having a dominant striker is very important if you want to be any good in FIFA 12.  We put together a list of the top 5 to give you every advantage when you are playing online or against your friends.

5. Didier Drogba

Drogba has an awesome shot with 86. His pace is 74 which isn’t bad but he makes up for it with his dribbling skills at 80, with 87 heading, and a 6’2 frame he is a beast in the air. Overall 86 and costs around 40,000 coins.

4. Demba Ba

He’s improved time and time again but now he’s got 86 pace which is brilliant and 86 shot, the same as Drogba. 80 dibbling and 82 heading make Ba an awesome player who now has improved 3 times on FIFA 12. Overall 84 and costs around 50,000 coins.

3. Luis Suarez

It’s pretty clear why he is good. With an overall shot of 90 there is no stopping him. He has a pace of 85 to outrun defenders and 87 dribbling. He’s the one guy you want to tear the defence in pieces. He is 87 overall and costs around 100,000 coins.

2. Robin Van Persie

He got a new card with 93 shot to blow out any shot from anywhere and 82 pace makes him not the slowest of players. 88 dribbling skill can turn the defensive line into a curve and with 83 passing he can pick out players long distances. 88 overall and the stats speak for themselves around 185,000 coins.

1. Wayne Rooney

Rooney is a beast. I don’t need to say how good he is because of stats like these: 81 heading, 83 pace, 84 dribbling, and finally 88 shot which is deadly and weirdly accurate. He’s top notch when talking about strikers. With a classy 90 overall, he costs around 290,000 coins.

FIFA & Madden 12 Sales Totals

ea logoEA Sports has released the sales totals for their 2 most popular sports video game titles FIFA 12 and Madden 12.  FIFA 12 sold 10 millions copies while the popular football game Madden 12 sold 5 million.  These numbers are total sales all the way through to the consumer as opposed to sales to retail stores like our report on NBA 2K12’s 4 million copies sold.  FIFA 12 sales are great in comparison to the blockbuster shooter franchise Battlefield 3 which also sold 10 million copies.  It looks like the NFL lockout and the release date being pushed back 3 weeks didn’t seem to hurt sales of Madden 12.

NBA 2K12 “Jeremy Lin” Update

nba 2k12 lin updateNBA 2K12 has released it’s latest roster update which we are referring to as the “Jeremy Lin” update.  After leading the Knicks to an undefeated record while playing without Caremlo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, JLin was only given a 69 overall rating.  If his dominant play maintains over the next few weeks, there is no question that he will be around an 80 overall in the next update.  The roster update is now live on both XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3.  Do you think a 69 overall rating for Jeremy Lin is fair?  Let us know in the comments section.
