EA Sports Announces FIFA Football Club
The only real piece of news generated for EA Sports out of the press conference this morning had to do with FIFA 12 and the introduction of "EA Sports Football Club". Though nothing revolutionary - similar features have been included in past FIFA's and NCAA Football - the new experience looks to bring everything together and take advantage of the worldwide user base of FIFA fans that is unmatched by any other sports game. EA SPORTS Football Club creates a new social experience where footbal...

EA Sports Titles Adding Kinect Support
At the Microsoft E3 press conference this morning EA Sports president Peter Moore appeared to discuss plans for Kinect for Xbox 360 support in the company's sports titles.

UFC 3 Being Revealed at E3
The next entry in the UFC franchise is set to debut at E3. What is currently being referred to as "UFC 3" will be officially revealed at the gaming expo which is now just a month away. The game is slated to release in January or February 2012.

NBA Jam HD Impressions and Videos
A month ago EA Sports announced that NBA Jam would be coming to the 360 and PS3. The catch though is that it would be only available to download through a code that is being included in new copies of NBA Elite 11.
