    2K Sports has released the soundtrack listing for APF 2K8. All-Pro Football 2K8 will feature a DJ Z-Trip produced soundtrack with all original tracks, remixes and mash-ups. Z-Trip, the famed originator of the mash-up craze and renowned remixer and producer, has given a twist to the art of combining disparate songs by having the Dead Prez provide an all-new rap over a rocking Deftones’ track. He also mashes up Rakim with Chevelle, while remixing “Tom Sawyer,” the classic Rush song. In ...

    It appears the final cover art has been released for All-Pro Football 2K8. You can see the full size image by clicking the thumbnails below. The artistic style of the cover gives it the feel of being from the "past" however there is just something about it that doesn't click with me. Blitz: The League went a similar route with their covers. I feel like it's the cartoony look (especially in the case of Elway) that doesn't come across right. Probably was a good idea to feature a trio as o...

    And now the top 5 in the power rankings for Madden 08. Previous 32-28, 27-22, 21-16, 15-11, 10-6. 5- New Orleans Saints New Orleans looks a lot like they did last year, with the exception of Joe Horn departing. His loss shouldn't cause too much damage to a very good offensive unit. Because of the weapon categories, players like Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister, and Marques Colston should benefit. The defense which ranked 11th last year should hold steady. 4- Indianapolis Co...

    It appears there is a good chance that a commercial for the upcoming NBA Live and March Madness games will appear during the NBA Draft on June 28th. Recently at the NFL Draft the first commercials for Madden 08 were on display, and featuring a commercial for these two upcoming games with their respective cover athletes would make a lot of sense at the draft this month. Gilbert Arenas mentions in his blog that he will be joining Kevin Durant to film a commercial for EA Sports on June 5th. ...

    The following image has emerged on the Operation Sports message board. It was not released by 2K Sports so the authenticity is not verified. Click the thumbnail for the full screen. First of all the screenshot may be real or it may not. However leaning towards the side of it being legit it certainly looks good. However the general lack of excitement coming from the media sites that saw the trailer makes you wonder if the game looks that good all around or if it could just be they have con...

    In the latest producer blog on the official Madden site, Ian Cummings takes the time to go through the first trailer that was released for the game. He picks out individual moments in the trailer and explains what is happening, what they are working on, and even how he is disappointed with some of clips the marketing team used. It is quite a good read and definitely worth the time. It's great to get the thoughts coming out of the Madden camp throughout this process. I think a lot of peopl...

    It might take some extraordinary luck, but there is the chance to play Champ Bailey in Madden on Saturday. He'll be on for an hour. Unfortunately the website address is just linking straight to the xbox.com site so some of the specifics aren't laid out. It just appears that you should be online and attempt to send a challenge to the gamertag they set up during that time period. What: NFL Pro-Bowler Champ Bailey is stepping onto the virtual field to test his talent on Xbox LIVE® as par...
