Madden NFL 12 Roster Update #5 Details
The post-week three roster update for Madden NFL 12 is scheduled to arrive on Friday for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. The update includes nearly 400 roster and ratings adjustments and numerous equipment changes. Shockingly Tom Brady has lost the coveted 99 rating as he drops a point following his 4 INT game against Buffalo. I don't think anyone was anticipating that being a possibility. Nnamdi Asomugha and Antonio Gates drop a point as well down to 97. The biggest gainer of the update is Gi...

FIFA 12 Now Available for iOS Devices
Along with the release of the console versions earlier this week comes FIFA 12 for iOS. Last year FIFA 11 drew high marks for its graphics and solid gameplay - but the level of content and the controls were thought to be lacking. Considering that it appears that EA has looked to address those concerns head-on. Featuring 22 leagues and 500 teams FIFA 12 for iOS for the first time includes 'Manager Mode'. It is also said to have improved graphics, animations, and more responsive and engagin...

Madden NFL 12 Mobile Version Receiving Heavy Criticism
It was somewhat of a surprise when Madden NFL 12 for iOS released a month ago and was found to have taken a step back from the generally well-received Madden NFL 11. In fact Madden 11 won the community award for last year's "Best Mobile Game". Along the way something went terribly wrong with Madden 12 - even though there was little actually added to the game it didn't deliver on the promise of improved graphics and gameplay. In our review it was stated that "the game is essentially a rost...

Who Will Be the Next to Lose Their Clutch Designation in Madden NFL 12?
Going into the season Madden NFL 12 presented a group of 36 players who had the "clutch" trait which provides a ratings boost in pressure situations. After just one week that group lost a member as Eli Manning had it removed. He had been considered on the edge to begin with and a poor first performance did him in. There are a number of others within the group that could be close to losing their designation just as Calvin Johnson appears likely to earn the honor possibly as early as with this...

NBA 2K12 User-Created Gameplay Videos
The news on NBA 2K12 started pouring out yesterday - with everything from player ratings to the first information on Association mode and online play. The latter came from those who have obtained copies of the game already which also has led to gameplay videos being posted. To this point 2K Sports has only released one official video - while other glimpses at the game have come from off-screen recorded footage or through the demo. Though most of the videos showing up are not great quality...

First NBA 2K12 Association and Online Details Beginning to Emerge
Since 2K Sports has yet to discuss either Association mode or online play - and NBA 2K12 is set to release in less than a week - it's no surprise that now details are starting to leak out from individuals who have obtained the game early. It's far from the most ideal way to collect information or check out gameplay videos especially since they all seem to be coming from cell phone cameras so far. This is the situation 2K created though by holding off so long (retailers don't even have ful...
