    While 2K Sports is collecting feedback for an upcoming patch of MLB 2K12, which undoubtedly has a multitude of issues to consider, the company has publicly stated not to expect it to come until at least May. The explanation behind that comes down to 2K not wanting to alter the game during the month in which the $1 Million Perfect Game Challenge takes place. That makes sense from the standpoint that changing 2K12 in any way could disrupt players who have tried to get handle on the game ...

    In terms of modes the central addition to MLB 12: The Show comes in the form of Diamond Dynasty. Similar to Ultimate Team in EA Sports titles Diamond Dynasty puts additional focus on team personalization and introduces more depth to the structuring and building of them. Conceptually the mode works but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.  (more…)...

    With all 64 team representatives announced for the Madden NFL 13 cover tournament the voting in the play-in round began today through the app on the SportsNation page. In embarrassing fashion after being up for a short time earlier in the day it vanished for several hours preventing anyone from voting. That confused many who seemed to think they were casting their selections on that Facebook page by leaving comments. The app only just returned so hopefully it will stay up from now on. ...

    Heading into release for MLB 12: The Show there wasn't a whole lot of optimism around online play. The series has always struggled to produce a sufficient online experience - it really has been the achilles' heel that has kept it from reaching its potential beyond just being an excellent product but a complete one at that. So far with MLB 12 online has again proven to be troublesome with no apparent advancements having been made.  (more…)...

    The SSX reboot from EA Sports faced the difficulty of living up to nostalgic feelings bred from earlier entries in the series while taking advantage of the advanced technology available to in turn justify its full price on the 360 and PS3 with a wider-ranging experience. The new game had to appeal to those earlier fans while reaching new ones - and it entered the marketplace during a period where arcade-style games have found little traction. Despite some bumps along the way SSX largely s...
