<br />
Here is the list.<ul><li>Aaron Rodgers</li>
<li>Ben Roethlisberger</li>
<li>Cam Newton</li>
<li>Drew Brees</li>
<li>Matt Ryan</li>
<li>Mike Vick</li>
<li>Philip Rivers</li>
<li>Tim Tebow</li>
<li>Tom Brady</li>
<li>Tony Romo</li>
<li>Eli Manning</li>
<li>Peyton Manning</li>
</ul>Two more haven't been named, but it shouldn't be long before we find out who they are.<br />
<br />
Based off of the feedback from OSers (via Twitter and the OS Forums), most would like to hear Matthew Stafford and Jay Cutler make the cut.<br />
<br />
The cadences were pulled from NFL Films and because of the audio quality, not all quarterback cadences are represented. They do hope to have all 32 starting quarterback cadences in <i>Madden NFL 14</i>.</div>

			<title>Sound Off: How Big is the New SEC/Big XII Bowl Game?</title>

The SEC and Big 12 announced that their conference champions would be tied together in a bowl game (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/19084239/sec-big-12-agree-to-bowl-matchup-if-left-out-of-fourteam-playoffs) if both...</description>

<div align="left">The SEC and Big 12 announced that their conference champions would be <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/19084239/sec-big-12-agree-to-bowl-matchup-if-left-out-of-fourteam-playoffs" target="_blank">tied together in a bowl game</a> if both conferences champions didn't make the National Semifinals starting in 2014 -- a similar agreement to what the Pac 12 and Big Ten have in place for the Rose Bowl. <br />
<br />
Interim Big XII Commisioner Chuck Neinas just announced that if the champ(s) are unavailable the next best teams would play in the Bowl. <br />
<br />
<i>So now it's your turn: <b>just how big of a deal is this agreement especially with the rumored realignment of ACC football powers jumping to the Big XII hanging over this offseason summer?</b></i><br />

#2 -- Washington Capitals<br />
</b><br />
Alexander Ovechkin alone makes the Washington Capitals a threat with the  man advantage, with his absurd mix of skills and flash. With almost  every <i>NHL 12</i> offensive rating for “Ovie” hovering around 95, he's  going to help on the ice. The capitals may have only had a powerplay  percentage that was middle of the pack for the 2011-2012 season, but  Ovechkin can make things happen in the blink of an eye on the digital ice.<br />
<br />
Of course, this is to say nothing of the likes of Alexander Semin and  Nicklas Backstrom, who both add something to the mix. Semin features  offensive categories all bordering on 90, and he can play off of  Ovechkin in almost any fashion. Semin brings a versatile mix that can  help create and generate offense, and with a solid centre like Nicklas  Backstrom, who features some respectable passing and puck control,  Washington has all the tools up front. On defense, Dennis Wideman and  Mike Green, even though he's be declining in real life, add some solid  back-end support.<br />
<br />
Washington's goaltending is decent with Thomas Vokoun, and he'll use his  89 breakaway and 91 five-hole ratings to turn away some potential  shorthanded threats.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>In real life, small, athletic goalies like Boston's Tim Thomas  (5'11" 208 lbs.) can make up for their height disadvantage by coming far  out of the goal crease and cutting down shooting angles.<br />
<br />
 <br />
Unfortunately, aggressive goaltending tactics tend to fail in <i>NHL 12</i>, as the game makes it too easy for offensive players to skate by and pass around goalies who leave the paint.<br />
<br />
<br />
 <div align="center"><img src="http://upload.operationsports.com/images/biggergoalies.jpg"><br />
</div> <br />
Instead of making your goalie small and quick, try modeling him after a  big-body, crease-camper like Nashville's Pekka Rinne (6'5" 209 lbs.) or  Phoenix's Mike Smith (6'4" 218 lbs.).<br />
<br />
Larger goalies can play deeper in the net thanks to all the physical  space they take up. A bonus to staying inside the paint is that, the  deeper you play, the less lateral distance you have to cover on  cross-ice one-timers, which remain the most-popular scoring tactic among  teams online.<br />
<br />

<b>REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)</b>--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) announced today the key features for EA SPORTSTM NHL®13, promising the biggest change to the franchise since the introduction of the Skill Stick in NHL® 07. Headlined by all-new True Performance Skating, and supported by an innovative new A.I. system dubbed EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q., NHL 13 will deliver a revamped gameplay experience that accurately captures the speed, creativity and strategy of NHL hockey. In addition, NHL 13 will also deliver new experiences that connect hockey fans to their friends and the real world of hockey with the all-new GM Connected and NHL Moments Live modes. NHL 13 will be available on September 11, 2012 in North America and September 14, 2012 in Europe.<br />
<br />
“The NHL team has been a leader when it comes to innovation in the sports videogame category on this console generation by redefining player control with the introduction of the Skill Stick, creating connected experiences such as the EA SPORTS Hockey League and introducing real world physics to the team sports category,” says Dean Richards, General Manager, NHL, EA SPORTS. “With our feature set in NHL 13, hockey fans and sports gamers have a lot to be excited about as we are again going to deliver major innovations that will change the way you play the game.”<br />

<li><b>EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q.</b> – An innovative new A.I. system that governs the behaviors of players, goalies and team systems.

Whether you are a hardcore sports gamer or a hockey fan that moonlights as an armchair general manager, the mode offers unrivaled accessibility and depth by allowing players to manage, play or coach on the road to building your team’s legacy. GM’s can also take their experience with them with a mobile companion app, ensuring that they never miss a single moment.*</li>

	<br />
	I loved the game's ability to recreate everything about real baseball,  including injuries, park-effects and the truly bizarre events that make  baseball special. But since then, they've added a few elements that make  the game more customizable, and in turn, even more interesting.<br />
