Thursday Community Event Preview
I've made it in successfully to the hotel and wanted to leave a short preview of what is to come on Thursday at the community event. NCAA Football 09 and NFL Head Coach 09 will be featured for this day. I mentioned some things earlier but wanted to be a little more specific on what kind of coverage to expect. Feel free to add your thoughts and suggestions here or in either of the previous postings. Check in throughout the day as I am hopeful that I'll be able to live blog at different point...

Madden 09 gang tackling
Madden 09 producer Ian Cummings has a new in-depth discussion going on over at Operation Sports which you can check out here. He started it off by displaying some highlights and lowlights of the game's tackling engine. Among what is mentioned is how the community has directly led to the improvement of gang tackling for this year, that there will continue to be no more than two players making up a gang tackle, and why motion capture has been shown to be more beneficial than the NaturalMotion...

MLB 2K series joins NHL 2K in studio move
The writing was on the wall and 1UP has confirmed that the MLB 2K series will be developed out of the Visual Concepts studio after the closing of 2K LA/Kush. Recently it was announced that the NHL 2K series would be moving to Visual Concepts, though at the time the reasoning behind the move wasn't clear. While the departure of Ben Brinkman is a disappointment, a fresh start could be the best way to go for a series that has had major issues over the last few years. It isn't known yet whether...

Prizefighter X-Play preview
A new video preview of Don King Presents: Prizefighter has been posted as it was featured on G4's X-Play. I'm going to withhold my personal thoughts on the gameplay footage, so go ahead and watch it and leave your thoughts in the comments. I've also added a quote from the Prizefighter producer below which came out of a preview today and was pretty interesting to see. At this point if the game is going to make its release it is at least in the certification process, if not already having gon...

What to expect over the coming days
As I prepare to depart tomorrow for the EA Football Community Event I thought I would leave a few details as to what can be expected each day. Wednesday: Travel day. Considering the cross country flight and time change it'll eat up practically my entire day. I'll check in when I'm settled and update the site with anything that may have been missed during that time. Thursday: NCAA Football 09 and NFL Head Coach 09 are featured. For myself I'm expecting to sit with NCAA for about three hou...

Facebreaker character video: Kiriko
EA Sports has released another trailer featuring a character from Facebreaker. This one puts the spotlight on the first female character who previously was only seen in the background of some of the other videos. Kirkio joins Ice, Molotov, Romeo, Voodoo, and Steve as the ones that have been featured to date. It appears that every Monday will bring a new character video. So far I'm not really caring much for these characters. Luckily the photo face feature should fill in nicely if that remai...

Five videos making up an entire game of NCAA Football 09 have been posted by Vetzballin. Some quick impressions can also be found at the link.
