Justin Verlander made his way onto Conan last night to talk about winning the AL MVP and more importantly MLB 2k12. Over the last 2 years, fans have been able to submit video recordings of their perfect games in the MLB 2K franchise. This year the process will be simplified. Gamers will be able to join a specific game mode where they will receive a unique code once they complete a perfect game. Instead of picking just one winner, the top 8 contestants will compete in a tournament style competition to take home the $1 million dollar prize. You will be able to start competing on baseball’s opening day April 4th, 2012.
Madden 12 Roster Update #19
Following a great wild-card weekend in the NFL, this week’s roster update gives significant increases to the winners’ rosters and drops to the losers. The roster update will go live on Friday on both the PlayStation 3 and the XBOX 360. Even though only players whose teams participated in the playoffs will have a chance to see movement in their ratings this weeks roster update is important because it will reset the depth chart by bringing players that were on injured reserve like Peyton Manning back into the starting lineup.
As expected Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas both received a large boost to their attributes along with many Giants, Texans, and Saints players. Calvin Johnson finally joined the exclusive players rated at 99 overall. Check out the full roster update below.

Fifa 12 Turn and Spin Tip
As we look forward to Fifa 13, we don’t want to forget about those of you who still play Fifa 12. Today’s tip goes over the Turn and Spin trick that will have you scoring more goals in no time. You will need a five star skill player to pull off the move. However, a four star skill player can do a similar move called the stop and spin that is about as effective. It is very easy to execute, just hold down the L2 button then flick the right stick forward then left or right depending on which way you want to go.
First MLB 12 The Show Video
The first video for MLB 12: The Show is now out.

NCAA Football 12 Patch
It looks like another patch will be coming out for NCAA Football 12. The patch will address the “transfer failed” problem that has caused lots of online dynasties to completely give up on the game. Apparently, the issue has been identified and the guys over at EA Sports are working on fixing it and putting out a patch soon. The timing is a little off since the college football season ended earlier this week meaning that the amount of people still playing NCAA Football 12 will start to drop off significantly.
For those of you that are hardcore NCAA Football fans, this is great news although very late. If they are able to fix the problem now, EA Sports will be able to focus their efforts on other things for next year’s NCAA Football 13 game. Is there anything else that you hope will be addressed in this patch? Let us know in the comments section.
