EA Sports has announced that 30 rookies from this month's NFL Draft will be added to Madden Ultimate Team mode in Madden NFL 12 beginning on the 26th. In addition to those 30 there will be 6 dubbed as "Future Stars" who will have a second card but with ratings based off envisioning their "career year" down the line.

With the rate at which recent releases have seen their prices drop - some within a matter of days after hitting stores - MLB 12: The Show has bucked the trend by staying put at its $60 price until today.

NCAA Football 13 Sticks With Only The One Playable Camera Angle
