Comment For Chance To Win NCAA MME Code
I have a couple free download codes for NCAA Basketball 09 March Madness Edition (360). In order to have a chance at winning one simply have an Intense Debate account and post a comment on this article. I'll choose someone out of those at random. If you already have MME I can substitute a 3 on 3 NHL Arcade (360) code. Despite having a variety of cool features to it after having installed the ID comment system there hasn't been a high percentage of people to actually utilize it. Intense De...

Madden 10 Screenshot Coming Later Today
Today the first screen from Madden 10 will be released by Peter Moore on his blog. The most interesting aspect of this is how the screen is said to include a look at some additions (as many as six) that have been made to the game. Earlier today on Twitter Ian Cummings strongly hinted that the ever-elusive hand towels would be one of those things. Other possibilities could include hand warmers and the return of refs and the chain gang. The blog posting containing the screen is expected to be ...

FNR4 Demo Comes Early For Gamestop Preorders
I glossed over this when it was initially mentioned in the cover press release however I think it presents an interesting topic to address.

Online Customers: A unique code and instructions to unlock the demo will be emailed one day prior to the demo's release date. In-Store Pickup / Store Customers: A Pre-order card with code and instructions to unlock the de...

PSN Bandwidth Charges May Explain No MME on PS3
When the March Madness edition of NCAA Basketball 09 was announced many people wondered why it was exclusive to the Xbox 360. EA Sports didn't make any comments as to the reasoning behind that. News that came out today though may provide the basis for why that decision was made. MTV has an article about how publishers have become frustrated with the charging of bandwidth fees for both paid and free content on Sony's Playstation Network. It appears that this is another (unrealized) benefit...

NCAA Football 10 Community Event Coverage
While the actual attendees at the NCAA Football 10 Community Event aren't going to be in a position to speak about game details EA Sports is providing a good deal of interesting on-going coverage. This is all less about promoting the game and more on how the event benefits both EA and the consumers and the process behind it all. I'll go ahead and keep track of everything below and add links in throughout the day. EA Sports Live at 3ET/Noon PT: The live radio broadcast with the Thompson B...

NCAA Tournament Featured Game 3/20
For day two of the NCAA Tournament I went with #5 Florida State against #12 Wisconsin. This East regional match-up will be played on Friday night scheduled at 9:55 ET. The downloadable "Bracket Pack" is now working. Unfortunately it doesn't appear they've gotten the courts properly assigned. This game was played on Villanova's home court yet the real game is taking place in Boise. This time around I decided to create a Top Five highlight reel via EA Sports World.
