NCAA Football 09 hands-on: Part one
After getting a significant amount of time with NCAA Football 09 I've compiled my initial thoughts on the game and details on features. The games were played on All-American difficulty and five minute quarters and I took part mostly in head-to-head. You can check over at NCAA Strategies and PSU for more hands-on details as well.

Madden 09 online update
In his latest forum posting, Madden 09 lead producer Phil Frazier notes a couple of things relating to the game including a statement that they are likely going to be able to get variable weather into online unranked games. In the course of one week it has gone from no online weather, to talking about the possibility of it, to it being a 95% certainty that it'll be included. Hopefully that will include online league games which are in essence unranked games as well and would add to the experie...

There are now four additional screenshots (found in the gallery) and a new video which...

GTA IV and other news
It goes without saying that today is GTA IV day. I doubt there will be much (if any) sports gaming news or info to be released with all the concentration around GTA. So I'll be online playing (360) this evening and anyone who'd like to get together for some matches just leave your info in the comments. If there is anything interesting relating to the sports titles that makes its way out today I'll be sure to get it up as usual. I expect the daily NCAA Football 09 screenshots to return on T...
