Tony Parker is the NBA Live 09 cover athlete
As seen in a promo video on Kotaku, Tony Parker has been chosen to be the cover athlete for NBA Live 09. This comes as somewhat of a surprise as Parker has already become a staple on the French version of the game. Given the set of features announced for Live it definitely pointed towards a point guard so that part of it fits. However Deron Williams would've made for a much better choice. That is unless EA plans to put Eva Longoria on the cover with Parker....

Madden 09 demo news
Since the NCAA Football 09 demo came out early many have wondered when the one for Madden 09 would be arriving. While nothing is certain yet they are working towards having one prerelease though it would be more along the lines of a week before unlike NCAA's month before. Interestingly it appears that EA Sports and 7-Eleven have teamed up for a Madden promotion. One aspect of that is a demo that can be picked up in-store prior to release of the game. A first for EA Sports and exclusive to ...

Madden 09 celebration videos
More videos from Madden 09, this time showcasing some of the post-TD celebrations in the game. Previous discuss has centered around specific players having their own unique celebrations, the ability to "steal" an opponent's celebration, and team specific celebrations such as the Lambeau Leap. Also there has been the community suggestion to have the option of turning off the boxes of light in the end zone that are designated for activating different which EA did listen to (they are not visible ...

Full game of NFL Head Coach 09
NFL Head Coach 09 was a difficult game to jump into at a community event. The almost overwhelming number of options and the overall depth of the title was too much to experience in that short period of time and in that environment. My personal feeling was I would probably be SuperSimming most of the games but really get into the offseason and draft process. What's great about Head Coach is there are several different ways you can play it. Whether it be in that manner or delegating to others in...

UFC 2009 unveiled
The debut trailer and preview for UFC 2009 have just made their way out. The game, which has been in the works for quite some time, is set to release next spring. The operative phrase that came up during discussion of the game was "Constant Control", the idea being that a UFC fighter must constantly be aware of his surroundings and situation, and must be ready to act at a moment's notice with a specific, contextual move, countermove, or defense. I've always seen initial appeal in wrestling g...

NBA Live 09 cover athlete announced on June 25th
The website for NBA Live 09 went up today and includes the news that the cover athlete for the game will be revealed on June 25th. Also of note is that the game has an official release date of Tuesday October 7th. Not much to read into as far as hints considering the ghosted cover art is the 08 Gilbert Arenas cover. Of the features announced to this point a guard seems to be favored if they are looking to tie the player into a theme. I'm sticking with my Deron Williams prediction. As I'v...
