A flurry of recent trades and signs makes up the latest group of screenshots showing players in their new uniforms. The Bills finally get into the action leaving the Cowboys as the only team that hasn’t made a single transaction so far (cut, signing, trade). If you missed the previous sets of screenshots those can be found at the tag page. Continue on to check out the images and details of the moves and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Steve Chiang, who co-founded the Tiburon studio and worked for EA Sports for 15 years, has moved on to take the role of president of development at social gaming company Zynga. The company is best known as the creators of the Facebook phenomenon ‘FarmVille’.
With Chiang departing that allowed EA to promote Andrew Wilson and Pauline Moller into new roles with the company. Moller, previously general manager at EA Canada, will now be the EA Sports COO. In an interview with Gamasutra, Moller discusses her outlook on things despite not having a background as a hardcore gamer.
I think the fact that I can play this role is reinforcing the fact that EA Sports is committed to providing different kinds of extensions to different types of sports fans everywhere.
More so than taking this an indication that the yearly titles are going to become more arcade-like, her focus appears to be on different avenues of distribution and reaching a different type of consumer. Examples of that could be the upcoming Facebook version of Madden, the revival of NBA Jam, as well as the free-to-play microtransaction based PC offerings currently in BETA for FIFA and Tiger Woods.

It wasn’t long ago that the top two picks in this draft were assumed to be the two prominent defensive tackles. That is no longer the case, and this updated first round mock draft includes a big shakeup in the top 10. Continue on to check out the picks and leave your thoughts on the mock in the comments!

The season premiere of South Park focused on the epidemic of “sex addiction” spreading throughout the country which of course made Tiger Woods the biggest target. There was a good deal of free publicity for EA Sports as the show made reference to the company and Tiger Woods 11 on multiple occasions. I mean, even look at the cover art there, they got it accurate with Rory McIlroy included. As Cartman states “EA Sports outdid themselves this time” with the version of the game they are playing. The game popped up at different times throughout the episode, but continue on to check out two segments!

SCEA has announced that a second patch for MLB 10: The Show will be released tomorrow. It includes fixes intended to address some of the issues pointed out by the community including ones experienced in franchise mode and intentional walks causing freezes online.
While we won’t know if this patch was quickly created in response to some of the backlash that came after stating work wouldn’t start on it until the end of the month, all that matters is that it is being delivered in a timely fashion and everyone should be pleased with that. Continue on to view the changes arriving in the patch and leave your thoughts in the comments!

The first trailer featuring actual game footage has been released for EA Sports MMA. I’ve also added 16 screenshots into the gallery which show off some of the fighters, arenas, and entrances. There is still no release date for the game but it is expected out in the October-December quarter and with the trailer stating “late 2010″ it most likely will fall in November.

UFC Undisputed 2010 will be providing exclusive content in the PS3 version of the game. As of now these extras will not be available for the 360 even via downloadable content, though that could change down the line. The PS3 version will be receiving exclusive fighters as well as exclusive “Ultimate Fights”. Though these additions seem unlikely to change someone’s purchase from one version to the other they are notable enough to mention.
The “legends” (pictured above) who will be available only on the PS3 are Dan Severn, Jens Pulver, and Royce Gracie. Severn and Gracie are no longer active in the UFC but are Hall of Famers.
While the 360 and PS3 will share the same base 15 “Ultimate Fights”, which provides an opportunity to recreate the great fights of the past, the PS3 will have an additional five.
UFC 18- Carlos Condit vs Martin Kampmann
UFC 60- Matt Hughes vs Royce Gracie
UFC 66- Keith Jardine vs Forrest Griffin
UFC 68- Martin Kampmann vs Drew McFredries
UFC 102- Nate Marquardt vs Demian Maia
