Because depth charts were inaccessible with the E3 build it's unclear if the starting lineups contain all the legends or if others are present - and whether any more legends obtained (via pre-ord...

E3: Madden NFL 13 Day One Thoughts
EA Sports made a splash yesterday by announcing the "Infinity Engine" and Connected Careers for Madden NFL 13. The latter really isn't on display at E3 - nor would it really be feasible to play through in such an environment - so the former is getting most of the glory and rightfully so. The physics-driven engine isn't completely changing the way Madden plays but it is definitely enhancing it to a great degree.Ă‚Â (more…)...

EA Sports Football Club Features and Access Expand With FIFA 13
While FIFA 13 had a strong presence at both the Microsoft and EA press conferences it lacked a big splash so it got somewhat overshadowed by Madden's reveals and the news of UFC going to EA Sports. Still there were some announcements made to FIFA that will be relevant to fans.
EA Sports Football Club debuted last year and is being expanded upon. An app for Football Club - scheduled for the iPhone and iPod touch - will keep fans connected to the FIFA world. A new rewards program is being i...
