The complete track listing for NBA 2K8 can be found below. The in-game soundtrack will also include music that harkens back to the roots of hip-hop, as well as an eclectic mix of songs from other genres that complement the virtual hoops action. As one of the music industry’s most influential producers, J Dilla inspired many artists, including Common, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli and Madlib, all of whom he had previously collaborated with in some fashion. These artists were tapped to keep J Dilla&r...

Exciting NBA Live 08 news coming?
A few days ago it was mentioned in a blog on the NBA Live 08 website that there would be exciting news regarding Live this week. However I have found out that whatever it is will not be revealed until Monday the 24th. No one really has a confident feel on what this news could be. Some have suggested the release date may be pushed up to next Tuesday, but its hard to believe EA would want to release Live on the same day as Halo 3. On the other hand it would still accomplish beating out ...

Examining the NFL Tour cover candidates
Earlier this week it was announced that the cover of NFL Tour will be determined through an election. The voting is currently open and offers the choice between Jason Taylor, Dwight Freeney, and Shawne Merriman. Read up on the candidates below. Jason Taylor comes off an amazing season in which he recorded 10 1/2 sacks, two interceptions both of which were returned for touchdowns, and 10 forced fumbles. That earned him the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. He has averaged nearly 13 sack...

EA Sports World website reemerges
EASportsWorld.com is apparently now operating with full functionality for all titles including Tiger Woods 08, Madden 08, and NCAA Football 08. I have been unable to see if everything is working properly since the site was announced to have returned earlier this morning. Feel free to leave any comments about whether or not everything is up and running and functioning as intended. Hopefully this represents the beginning of the end to the problems that have plagued the site since it laun...

Patch being worked on for Madden 08
Yesterday EA tipped off that a patch is in the works for Madden 08 by releasing it prematurely for the PS3. As it was not complete it caused some problems and was retracted later in the day. Also the rosters on both the 360 and PS3 were rolled back to the original default set. It isn't known whether the two issues were related. There was an update today to fix the rosters back but that does not represent the final patch that is being worked towards. By releasing the patch before it was...

NBA 2K8 demo news
The demo for NBA 2K8 can now be found on the Xbox 360 Live Marketplace. The PS3 likely won't see the demo until Thursday of next week (Sept. 27th). This was a smart move getting it out now in that it avoids getting swallowed up and completely ignored as it would've been if released during Halo 3 week. The demo features the Cavs @ Spurs for a full half with four minute quarters....

The top 25 player ratings per position in NBA 2K8 have been released thanks to Gametap. Both Greg Oden and Kevin Durant come in with an 80 rating.
