    The voting for the cover of NCAA Football 14 continues and based on the current results, which are unlikely to see a significant shift from now until voting closes, there are nine schools that are vying for the eight available slots. Michigan is leading the way with 25,552 votes followed closely behind by Alabama with 25,008 and Texas A&M with 23,340. Those three are blowing away the field. Next in line is Ohio State with 10,237 while Oregon is also safe with 9,853.  Notre Dame (un...

    SCEA has released a look at some of the changes coming to Diamond Dynasty mode in MLB 13: The Show. Diamond Dynasty was introduced in MLB 12 as an attempt at creating a team-building/card collecting mode similar in nature to Ultimate Team found in EA Sports titles. Conceptually the mode was sound but there were several poor design decisions and technical issues that made it difficult to enjoy. Check out full impressions of the mode from last year. In MLB 13 the mode is receiving improveme...

    A new roster update for NBA 2K13 arrived this morning and delivers a number of ratings adjustments. Having started to look as though it would be unreachable LeBron James moves up a point to 99 overall. Three decent games were apparently enough to up Earl Clark as what the 17-21 Lakers definitely require are upgrades and not downgrades (Antawn Jamison is still somehow 77). The trend of raising far more players - even though it hasn't been a significant number in each update throughout the sea...

    A new video has emerged purporting to be a leak from the EA Sports UFC game that is currently in development out of the EA Canada studio. The video displays head and facial models for multiple fighters with various expressions before moving on to focus on B.J. Penn.

Note that the legitimacy of the video and the other information ca...

    The FIFA series repeats in the top spot even though it does so somewhat by default as the field in 2012 simply did not do enough to knock it off the throne. FIFA 13 capitalized off the excellent prior iteration by making important refinements and building on already established strengths resulting in the best overall product of the year.  (more…)...

    For quite a while NBA 2K13 was slotted into the top spot as the Pastapadre Sports Game of the Year. NBA 2K was set to be the first series to have won twice since the awards began in 2006 (2K11 won in 2010). It had it in its grasp but ultimately it slipped away when justification of the entire product as the "best" of this year's crop was made more more difficult. NBA 2K13 arrived on the scene with welcome changes to controls, terrific presentation, an excellent career mode, and much impro...
