    Earlier today the news hit that another patch for Madden NFL 13 is imminent and that it will primarily focus on adding new features to Ultimate Team mode.

    In order for EA Sports to fulfill a promise of better post-release support with Madden NFL 13 they had to at least deliver a fourth patch (the third of which to come following release). That was confirmed today by Joystiq - it'll be out tomorrow - but the update won't be perceived as extensive except to those who play Ultimate Team mode. There is a fix included however for depth charts not saving in offline Connected Careers and it's still quite possible that yet another patch could be comin...

    Typically a team in such a strong position wouldn't do so but the 49ers are shaking things up by going with Colin Kaepernick and that has paid off in the last two games and given their offense a much more dynamic look. Meanwhile the Steelers are struggling mightily without Ben Roethlisberger....injuries have even caused them to turn to Plaxico Burress for help. DeSean Jackson, Blaine Gabbert, Willis McGahee, Laurent Robinson, Jared Gaither, Kendall Hunter, and Kyle Williams will be hitting t...

    The roster update for Madden NFL 13 following week 11 of the season released today in advance of the holiday for the Xbox 360 and PS3 but not the Wii U. Because it came out earlier in the week transactions like the Steelers signing Plaxico Burress and IR designations for Willis McGahee, Blaine Gabbert, and Laurent Robinson, along with the appeal that eliminated Ed Reed's one game suspension were not able to be reflected in this update. Aldon Smith basically on his own created an 10 point ...

    Week 11 of the NFL season brought about a number of changes at the QB position due to injury. Colin Kaepernick stepped in for Alex Smith and lit up the vaunted Bears defense bringing into question who will start for the 49ers going forward. With Ben Roethlisberger already out Byron Leftwich got hurt so Charlie Batch will take over for the Steelers. With the Jaguars Chad Henne replaced Blaine Gabbert and threw four touchdowns against a usually strong Texans defense. It's currently unclear ...

    Three weeks ago an evaluation was done on the league's starting quarterbacks in Madden NFL 13 by looking at their current overall rating and how that matched up with their production for the current season. With three roster updates since then and more data to consider it's time to look again at where each of them (and a few new ones) stand and whether they could be considered overrated or underrated when matched up against the "average" QB statistically and it's respective translation to Ma...
