Madden 11 Week 10 Ratings Change Suggestions. Should Vick be 99?
After a huge week 10 the question now arises as to whether Michael Vick actually deserves to be a 99 overall in Madden 11 and the argument can certainly be made that he should be. It would be an unprecedented leap to go from starting the year at a 73 and getting incremental upgrades through roster updates only to reach the pinnacle by the end of week 10. He currently sits at 87 and there has never been a one week jump that could even compare to going from that place to a 99. Really though w...

Lebron Joins The Heat
There is a new big three in the NBA as Lebron James has decided to join up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat crushing the city of Cleveland in the process. While this represents an intimidating triumvirate the rest of the roster will probably end up consisting of Mario Chalmers, second round draft picks, and any players that can be persuaded to join the team at the minimum to make a run at the title. Looking at this from the perspective of how it will affect NBA Elite 11 and...

Looking at the NBA Elite 11 Poll Results
While opinions will obviously change over time as more information comes out and the changes are demonstrated within the game the first reactions to ideas can be pretty telling. After the news broke about NBA Elite 11 (formerly NBA Live) I got up a set of polls and with a few days having passed the results can be examined. Few like the name change, most everyone likes the idea of real-time physics being added, and there is a pretty even split when it comes to right stick usage. That results...
