NCAA Football 10 Strategy Additions
While this week's blog for NCAA Football 10 is titled Season Showdown Strategy it thankfully has little to do with the Season Showdown mode and concentrates on the new strategy based additions to the game.

You can check out the full posting here. With NCAA Football 10 strategy takes on a huge role with three new g...

Tiger Woods Online Beta
While the PC market continues to be reevaluated by EA Sports for many of their titles, the expected eventual direction would be towards microtransaction or ad supported downloadable offerings. Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online appears to be the first example of EA taking this route in the US. The game will be browser based rather than downloadable and has already opened for sign-ups to take part in the online beta. Click here to sign-up for a chance at being involved in the online beta for the gam...

Madden 10 Gets Online Co-Op
Earlier tonight on GameTrailers TV one of the new online related features for Madden 10 was revealed. The game will have online co-op! Keep in mind that what has been described as the bigger of the two online announcements is being saved for the E3 press conference on Monday. Online co-op is something I've been hoping for Madden to incorporate for a few years now. It sounds as though it will be limited to two people facing off against the CPU or two people against two other people so it'l...

IGN has posted up the first gameplay video from Madden 10. In it the Eagles visit Dallas in the new Cowboys Stadium.

Bands in NCAA Football 10
One presentation addition for NCAA Football 10 that hasn't been discussed much is team specific bands that will appear prior to the start of the games. At this point it's unknown which schools will have their personalized bands however the official website for NCAA has started posting up a "Band of the Day". If one were to be posted every weekday up to release that would mean 30+ schools would have their own band formation. The first video went up earlier today and features Ohio State.ÂÂ...

Madden 10 Top Player Ratings
Last month I was able to break some ratings via Twitter while at an NFL hosted luncheon. Those ratings though were not finalized and have been tweaked continuously since. ESPN has obtained the finalized top 10 rated players at some of the positions and even break it down displaying some of the individual ratings categories. These are the official ratings that will be shipped with the game. As usual there will be a release day roster update but generally that adjusts player movement more than...

Patch In The Works For UFC 2009
THQ is currently working on a patch for UFC 2009 Undisputed. Given the time it takes to create the patch and get through the certification process we are looking at probably over two weeks and most likely a month or so away. The patch will address the online problem with no result being recorded when people quit and also will work to eliminate some of the lag that has been experienced. No word yet on what else, if anything, would be included in the patch. Hopefully some of the minor griev...
