Video game leaks MLB All-Star game uniforms

Earlier in the day, New Era confirmed in a fan forum chat that the All-Star game BP caps will be the same technology used for the Spring Training caps. Knowing that and seeing the above screenshot, we have an idea on what the All-Star Game gear will look like.

Using the theme of the Mets, the cap features the New York skyline and an the “A” and “N” to designate the leagues. It will also be a white panel cap, which is starting to gain popularity with the Orioles and several other teams using it for their BP caps.

The jerseys are the same template as the BP jerseys and the design is simple. I like it that way and I am glad that is what we’re getting.

Jay-Z unveils new Brooklyn Nets jersey at his own concert last night

Sean Carter shows off his new jersey with some chains.

Screw the official unveiling. Sean Carter doesn’t roll like that. Hova decided to sport the new Brooklyn Nets jersey at the Barclays Center’s grand opening on Friday night.

The jersey is exactly as we expected to be.

It’s a simple black jersey with Brooklyn written across the front. No complicated patterns or anything. The white jersey is expected to be an exact mirror of this set. This is what the shorts look like.

Why isn’t LeBron James on the cover of NBA 2K13?

Not bad, but could have been better.

LeBron James has never appeared on a video game cover and this year would be a great time for him to finally get it done. But instead, the NBA 2K series has decided to go with Blake Griffin, Ken Durant and Derrick Rose for their newest cover. (The game is set to come out in November.)

These three aren’t bad choices but why not include the most talked about player in the league? He’s the defending MVP, Finals MVP and is a champion now.

Maybe James didn’t want to be on the cover. But if there was a chance to put the most talked about star of the league on the cover, this had to be the year. It’s a missed opportunity I think.

Calvin Johnson’s Madden cover is way too close for my liking

Pretty good cover, but Megatron is too up close.

I love playing Madden I think I’ve bought and played almost every Madden that has been released. I’m not one of those crazy guys that believe that the curse is real, but I do think that the string of unfortunate injuries is a very strange coincidence.

But looking at the newest cover with Calvin Johnson, for the most part I think it’s not too bad. The image with the background captures the hard-working attitude of Detroit. It’s pretty simple and I like it.

CHECK OUT ALL THE MADDEN COVERS EVER RELEASED

But one thing I really don’t know about is the fact that it seems real up close. In previous covers, you get at least most of the players’ body up to the knees. But with this one, it’s just the top half of Johnson’s body.

Maybe it’s to show off the new Nike gear, but I think they could have zoomed out a little bit. Not really sure if I want to see Johnson’s teeth that up close. But it’s just a minor thing. I can’t wait to play this game.

To help sell a baseball video game that nobody cares about, just add Kate Upton

Baseball is my favorite sport and I enjoy playing sports games. But when it comes to baseball video games, I just can’t find myself being very impressed with it. With both MLB 2K and The Show, both are fun games but neither stand out.

Since I own an XBOX 360, the 2K series is the one I end up getting. Last year I got MLB 2K11 and I was not impressed at all. With glitches and a very unchallenging gameplay, I just didn’t really enjoy the entire game at all.

I don’t expect this new MLB 2K12 to be any much better. So the series apparently is using very popular model Kate Upton to help promote their new game. I don’t know how much her presence would help sell the game, but at least we can assume people know it exists.
