Seventh NBA 2K12 Roster Update Out Now
Another roster update for NBA 2K12 arrived this morning and delivers Bismack Biyombo, the seventh overall pick from the draft by the Charlotte Bobcats and rated a low 55 overall, thus completing the first round of rookies.

SSX Release Date Pushed Back; New Trailer
When EA Sports today announced that Grand Slam Tennis 2 would release on February 14 there was little question that at least one game would be moving off what had become an ultra-competitive date. The obvious candidate was SSX given the unlikelihood that the company would release their own two products against each other. That has materialized as SSX shifts back two weeks and will now come out on February 28. To soften the blow EA has also provided a new gameplay trailer for SSX which can...

#8 of 2011: NHL 12
The NHL series has been one of the most steady sports offerings over the last several years. EA Sports innovated and delivered vast improvements earlier this console generation but has started to come under increased scrutiny for lack of advancement the past few years. While it didn't completely break out of that growing perception NHL 12 delivered enough improvements to keep the majority pleased at least for one more year. (more...)...

NBA 2K12 First Round Rookie Ratings
All the first round rookies have been added to NBA 2K12 through the series of roster updates over the last week with the exception of Bismack Biyombo who just signed with the Bobcats yesterday so he should be in the next one. Jonas Valanciunas, Donatas Motiejunas, and Nikola Mirotic are expected to remain overseas and if so would not be a part of 2K12. The biggest winners in having rookies added are obviously the teams that will have multiple contributors (Cavs, Jazz, Bobcats) but there a...

As always leave your...
