More Boxers For FNR4
Released two weeks ago the Heavyweight roster for Fight Night Round 4 was received with some level of disappointment. Big dollar requirements to sign each individual is likely the reason for that, so other weight classes may be more fleshed out. IGN has posted screenshots of five more boxers that will be in the game. You can check out those screens here. Included are Roy Jones Jr, Sergio Mora, Kelly Pavlik, Vinny Paz, and Jermain Taylor. Some of them were already known but Pavlik and Paz ...

Adaptive AI Blog Posting
Today a new article on the Inside EA Blog focuses on the addition of Adaptive AI. This is something that will be seen in both Madden 10 and NCAA Football 10.

NCAA Football 10: What is Teambuilder?
The NCAA Football 10 dynasty video that went up yesterday displayed the menu screen which includes a mode called Teambuilder.

UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo (Not) Next Week
THQ has announced (via mmajunkie) that the demo for UFC 2009 Undisputed will be out next week for both the 360 and the PS3. That probably means Thursday April 16th for both though it could potentially make it out earlier on Tuesday for the 360. No details are available on what the demo will include. Having a demo out over a month before release usually is a sign of confidence in the game. This is especially the case since it's the first in what the company hopes will be a lengthy and prof...

2009 Madden Mock Draft 10-12
It is at about this point in the Madden Mock Draft where it starts to become more difficult to choose between players. There is more subjectivity involved in evaluating potential ratings and what they would mean for the teams. A bigger consideration becomes comparing options as far as how much they can offer immediately and what positions are easier to draft valuable contributors in later rounds. Continue on to view the picks for the 49ers, Bills, and Broncos. Remember this is more about ...

Rumor: Fitzgerald, Polamalu Madden 10 Cover
AZCentral.com is reporting a source has revealed that Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald will be on the cover of Madden 10.

I have actually come across some information that could confirm at least part of this rumor but I am checking into it further before posting on it.
