All-Pro Football 2K8 trailer
2K Sports has released the first official trailer for All-Pro Football 2K8. Notes on the trailer follow below it. What I took from this trailer: -The framerate didn't seem consistent. Is the game going to be locked in at 60fps? We haven't heard yes or no and that could be worrysome. -A real 2K5ish look and feel to it. That isn't necessarily bad although it seems that a lot was borrowed from a three year old game. -The player models just don't seem right, especially how skinn...

A handful of NCAA Football 08 achievements slip

The Xbox 360 achievements displayed were: -Complete 30 yard pass (10) -Throw 4 TD passes in a game -350 total passing yards -200 to...

Madden 08 gang tackling video
Via EA's producer blogs comes a new video Madden 08 video. In Ian Cummings' entry today is a focused look at the gang tackling. Videos can't show the game changing difference this technology has made for us (and for you all). I tried to get a really good 4 man one, but only got ones where the defender fell backwards at first. This isn't always the case, but it was the best I could do with the timeā¦getting a "true" 4 man pileup proved kind of difficult. Despite the disclaimer he makes about i...
