Part One of Player Face Comparisons Between MLB 13: The Show and MLB 2K13
With baseball one of the last remaining sports that have competition – whether that continues to be the case in 2014 is up in the air at this point – the player face comparison between the two games has been one of the most popular features of the spring the last few years. The Show has won out in all three battles: 21-6 margin in 2012, 14-6 in 2011, and 11-8-1 in 2010.
For 2013 the set of faces has been expanded to 40. While MLB 2K13 is practically a carbon copy of 2K12 it still could have some better faces than The Show. For the sake of time the majority of the images were captured from the All-Star teams. Here are the first 13 to vote on – the other sets will follow next week with the results and analysis later. Read more

Madden NFL 25 Cover Voting Advances to Third Round
The cover campaign featuring both legends and current stars for Madden NFL 25 has reached the third round. The “Old School” and “New School” brackets are now in the Elite Eight stage with the eventual winner from each side facing off for the honor.
No huge surprises were found in the previous round as the lowest seeds remaining are fives. The only mild upset was Michael Strahan squeezing by Kurt Warner. Colin Kaepernick had a second straight weak outing and could be looking at getting bounced by Arian Foster now and Andrew Luck appears to be the underdog to Russell Wilson. Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, and Adrian Peterson crushed their parings by tallying over 90% of the returns.
Voting is completed through the ESPN SportsNation Page. The third round runs until April 3rd when it will move forward to the semifinals for each bracket.

Deal on NBA 2K13 for PC
Even with a lack of post-release support it would be hard to beat $10 for a still relevant in-season sports title. That’s what is now available with the PC download version (unlockable through Steam) of NBA 2K13 through Amazon. Though the PC hasn’t received a patch and probably won’t – and lacks MyTeam mode and All-Star content – there are also plenty of mods that could be used to make the game better. There is easily $10 of value there for those who don’t already have 2K13 especially with the season still nearly three months away from completion.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 Downloadable Content Comes Similarly Priced to Last Year
The prevalence of downloadable content for the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series has not just discouraged some consumers from buying on a yearly basis but has even become a point of contention as evidenced by reaction towards the system implemented in Tiger 13. Ultimately spending well over $100 on the game with all the courses made available every year is something most cannot justify yet an effective alternative system has still not been offered. Read more
