EA Sports Not Currently Pursuing MLB
With the apparent end of the MLB 2K series the general assumption was EA Sports would take the opportunity of the license being freed up to strike a deal with the league and resurrect the MVP series. Even though a game for next year seemed unlikely - the 360 may be going without an MLB game for at least 2013 - it would have been ideal for EA to secure it and possibly then debut MVP on the next generation of systems.
In an interview with ESPN however Andrew Wilson, the head of EA Sports, s...
NCAA Football 13 Team Ratings
Over at Tradition Sports Online they were able to gather all the team ratings for NCAA Football 13 - Overall, Offense, Defense, and Prestige ranking. Check out the entire list here.
The numbers are so outrageously high that the accuracy had to be questioned but they were pulled right off video of the game at E3. 30 teams are rated 90 or above. Topping out at 99 overall are LSU, Oregon, Texas, USC, and Wisconsin. Close behind at 97 overall are Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Mich...
E3: First Batch of Madden NFL 13 Videos
Here's the first 5 videos from the show floor of E3 for Madden NFL 13. There are tons (24) more saved, and even additional ones to capture today, but given the speed of the hotel wifi this group was all that could be uploaded by the morning. Look for the others to start being posted this evening and throughout the rest of the week.
This batch features opening intros for the Bills vs Patriots and Redskins vs Colts and gameplay segments with the Patriots @ Bills, Cowboys @ Eagles, and Bronc...
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.

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...
