- The new issues emerging from NCAA Football game update #2 (as well as those not fixed in the update) are now being posted at gaming news sites around the web including Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/12/some-ncaa-football-12-features-reportedly-broken-by-patch/).
- In a follow-up to the recently announced NCAA Football fellowship, EA looks to former players for more authenticity in games (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-cfb-kassab-ea-sports-hires-athletes-20110911,0,6156965.column).
- "LeGrand Bowl (http://kotcnation.com/legrand52/2011/09/07/eric-legrand-bowl-sunday-september-18/)" takes place this Sunday on the campus of Rutgers University.
- The EA jobs site is currently listing openings at EA Tiburon (https://jobs.ea.com/search/advanced.do?q=&globalRegionID=a1W500000004CClEAM&locationID=a1W500000004CBvEAM&jobCategoryID=) on the NCAA Football team (Executive Producer and Tools & Pipeline Lead), extensive positions for their NBA (sim) title, and also a large number of openings for a new IP. Any guesses?
- An alleged former EA Tiburon developer talks Madden NFL 12 (http://spgmg.blogspot.com/2011/09/former-tiburon-developer-tells-all.html).
- Just like many professional football experts, Madden NFL 12 designer Donny Moore says EA "may have underestimated (Cam) Newton." (http://www.wcnc.com/sports/football/Madden-12-We-may-have-underestimated-Cam-Newton-129680748.html)
- Fans clamoring for a cricket, rugby or lacrosse video game may want to root for the success of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/ea-wants-to-dominate-basketball-genre-in-digital-sector/084599), according to that JAM's Creative Director, Trey Smith.
- Female players are appearing in EA SPORTS' NHL franchise for the first time in NHL 12, thanks to 14-year-old Lexi Peters (http://m.yahoo.com/w/sports/home/blogs/article?offset=2&urn=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Cyhoo%3A20050301% 3Anhl%2Carticle%2Cyhoo-ept_sports_nhl_experts-wp12363%3A1&.ts=1315852579&.ysid=L5OAsecV2Iwni.RjdY4K9OrQ&.intl=US&.lang=en).
- Some buyers of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12 for the PC have received refunds (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/112947-EA-Offering-Refunds-For-Tiger-Woods-12-on-PC) as the game differs significantly in some features compared to the console versions.
