MLB 11: The Show Patch #1 Details
Earlier today SCEA released the first patch for MLB 11: The Show intended to fix issues that were discovered with the game post-release. The two week turnaround time is right about the same as last year, as Sony has the benefit of pushing their own game through the patch approval process ahead of others. Unfortunately the patch does not address the free agency problem a few years into Franchise mode or attempt to improve online play performance. Another more comprehensive one is in the wo...

Full Madden 12 Cover Bracket
The full tournament bracket for the Madden NFL 12 cover has now been released. As reported earlier each team has a player up for the honor that will be voted upon in a 'March Madness' style tournament.

This may be due to the first round featuring all inter-division rivalries. The most in...
