Madden NFL 13 Week 15 Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
Now late into the season the playoff situation is coming into focus. In the AFC the first five teams are essentially locked in with the Bengals and Steelers fighting for the last spot. In the NFC the Seahawks can clinch a Wild Card birth with a win in either of the next two games.

#9 of 2012: NCAA Football 13
As one of what now is only a handful of major licensed sports games every year NCAA Football should never find itself this low on a year-end recap. Though not as afflicted by serious issues as NCAA 12 this year's effort comes in way down at #9 for it's lowest placement yet.

#10 of 2012: NFL Blitz
As the field of sports games has contracted over the years coming up with legitimate entries for a top 10 list has become increasingly difficult. #10 no longer represents a very good game but one in which might present some value or level of enjoyment but with greatly limited appeal. That is the case with NFL Blitz which is the only true arcade style major sport representation to make the list for 2012. (more…)...

Madden NFL 13 Week 14 Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
The next roster update for Madden NFL 13 should provide even more separation between playoff caliber teams and those packing it in for the year already. Some injuries that will have significant influence on the rosters occurred with Dez Bryant and Fred Jackson both possibly done for the year while Robert Griffin III appears to have dodged a bullet and may not miss a game.
