    Early this week EA Sports revealed the top rated players on defense. Given that the entirety of defense was lumped in together it amounted to only those individuals rated 97 and above. Though they didn’t crack the top 10 Terrell Suggs and Jason Pierre-Paul are right on the cusp of doing so. Rookies include both Morris Claiborne and Luke Kuechly at 81 and Mark Barron at 80. Today the company has rolled out the remainder of the player ratings which accounts for all defensive players ...

    With over 130 sign-ups for the Pastapadre Player Connected Career league - in which the plan is for everyone to use a created QB - it was once again a difficult process to choose owners. It’s greatly appreciated of those who desired a spot taking the time out to drop their info – and unfortunate that ultimately far more people will be denied than granted a team. Selections were based on a number of factors and the procedure even has some sense of randomness by creat...

    One of the disappointing aspects of Madden NFL 12 was weaker than anticipated post-release support in the way of patches and "tuners". New content such as consistent roster updates and new Madden Moments flowed throughout the season. However there was only one major patch and the advertised "tuners" never even materialized. The subject was touched upon in a piece written last December. Today Joystiq received a statement from EA Sports regarding post-release support plans for Madden NFL 13...

    EA Sports showed a bit of disrespect towards defensive players, offensive lineman, and special teamers by lumping them all together at the end of their Madden NFL 13 ratings reveal process. The end of this week will bring the ratings for the entirety of the league - but today is about the top players on defense as a whole.
