Madden 13 Cover Vote

madden 13 cover tournament

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?

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:

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.
