Usually this leads to some speculation as to whether the silhouette image is the actual cover or if it's something generic that will be replaced after the official announcement. In the past there have been times it has turned out to be the cover image but more often it wasn't. The ones for NCAA Football 10 are actually the covers from 09 just switched around. So I took a look at the one for Madden 10. For whatever reaso...

NCAA Tournament Featured Game 3/19
Throughout the NCAA Basketball Tournament I'm going to feature a game on the slate for the following day. I'll play through one of the games I find most intriguing with NCAA Basketball 09 and post up the results.

I've got an email in on this now to find out the situation. So for this first game I just made some adj...

NHL 10 Not Coming to PC or PS2
Blend Games has confirmed that NHL 10 will not be released on either the PC or PS2. According to EA this is due to the current struggling economy and also the issues that continue to present themselves with the PC (which led to the cancellation of most other EA Sports titles last year). When Blend Games contacted EA Canada, a spokesperson confirmed the news. "We will not be developing NHL 10 for PC and PS2 this year due to the current economic climate and the continuing decline in the sport...

AFL Anniversary Means Retro Unis In Madden 10
One small piece of news for Madden 2010 that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere has to do with the 50th anniversary of the American Football League. The celebration of the AFL's anniversary is expected to be a big part of the marketing campaign that the NFL pushes this upcoming season. The eight original AFL franchises will be playing each other over two weekends in September and October and they will be breaking out their uniforms from back in the day. Thanks to the Sports Business Journa...
