March Madness Gets a New Name
NCAA Strategies, which has received a copy of NCAA Football 09 for the PS3, mentioned today that within the previews presented on the game is a quick trailer which lets on to a name change for the March Madness franchise.

It makes sense in that the name matches the football branding and it will ...

NBA Live 09 Hands-On Report
The increased shift towards community involvement and interaction have paid dividends for several of the upcoming EA Sports titles. The first real development towards this was with the early community event for NBA Live last year.

Now for a second straight year the NBA Live 09 community event offered the same opportun...

The controversy surrounding the "business" of rosters has been in the public eye more so this year than any before.

This year with the addition of the EA Locker feature and the following announcement hopefully that is about to change. I can now state that the first and only fully named roster file for NCAA Football 09 on the Xbox 360 currently resides in my EA Lock...

Announcement Coming Tonight
Those who frequent the forum have known since Thursday that I have been heading towards making an announcement related to NCAA Football 09.

NCAA Football 09 EASW Videos
The first uploaded videos from NCAA Football 09 to EA Sports World have gone up allowing for the opportunity to see how they look this year. As the site has improved they have also added the ability to embed the videos. Since there are limitations to how many you can store it'll be more useful for short term viewings but is still nice to have nonetheless. Check them out on the NCAA 09 page of EASW or on the actual profile page where you can select them and view on a larger player. I've adde...
