Questions about NFL Tour or March Madness 08?
I am working on putting together some questions for a March Madness 08 producer interview coming up which I plan on sending in tomorrow. With so much having already been discussed about the game and having a demo already out I'd like to hear what remains unanswered within the community about the game or anything that may have arisen based on the demo. (Thanks to those who have made suggestions. The list for March Madness has been sent in) I should also have the opportunity to get some que...

Will the trend of more reasonable prices for EA Sports games continue?
After the news of March Madness 08 and NFL Tour both being reduced to $50 it comes as little surprise that FIFA Street 3 will join them at the same price. This means the next three sports titles from EA have settled in at a new price point. But will that continue with the rest of the lineup of games? While it was a surprise at first to see MM08 and Tour drop in price it made a lot of sense for each of them and that is true again with FIFA Street. As I mentioned along with the news of the ...

March Madness 08 release date move and reaction to the demo
March Madness 08 will officially hit stores on Tuesday December 11th.

The demo that came out a few days ago has brought about a lot of critic...

Thoughts on the March Madness 08 demo and videos
After playing through the demo a few more times my impressions of it are below. I've also recorded the full demo played through two times and added those videos for everyone to watch. Ever since the info on March Madness 08 started coming out they've been pushing the idea of how they slowed the game speed down. That concerned me heading into the demo because it almost felt as if they were conditioning people for it so that it wouldn't be such a major shock in how different the game was go...
