NBA Live 09 OTP Night Recap
Last night I was finally a member of a victorious group in the NBA Live 09 Pasta Padre club. I had felt doomed after having lost most of the games with the EASHL club and starting up with Live and having lost every game previously. It was a really good feeling to get the win, especially since we played well as a team from start to finish and despite the continued overly fast pace it was probably the most controlled matchup thus far. After a rough start the club seems to have settled down ...

Cowboys About To Experience Massive Changes
It has been an interesting couple days for the Dallas Cowboys with many of the affects of which about to be seen in Madden 09. Whether each of these situations will be reflected in roster update #8 (which will probably be out by Saturday morning) is still unknown. They are impactful enough that hopefully they did make the cut for this week's update. Tony Romo: Out for 4-5 weeks with a broken pinky finger on his throwing hand. This forces the old and immobile Brad Johnson to take over at Q...

The clips must remain active on the websites throughout the duration of the contest. Through the respective community sites, EA Sports World and 2K Community, upload your highlight and then...

After playing some more Online Team Play tonight in NBA Live 09 I realized I forgot a few things in my initial write-up. There were also some thoughts that came to mind since then. I included a few screens of the club area and the grading that is done after a game is completed. I've also added a poll to vote on the current team assigned to the club. So far club Pasta Padre is struggling but enjoying it despite that. (more…)...

That has carried over to online play where it has generally been stable while offering great online leagues. Right now however the game is experiencing some major online related issues. (more…)...

Madden 09 Roster Update #7 Details
The seventh roster update for Madden 09 is being targeted to be out as early as tomorrow morning. This latest one seems to be more substantial than the last couple of updates. While it can be debated whether one or two point ratings changes really mean anything it is great to have the consistency of weekly roster updates which has led to them being more accurate than ever before.

NBA Live 09: OTP Clubs
With the first opportunity to try out NBA Live 09's Online Team Play Clubs last night we were able to get a feel for how things are shaping up. The games were fun, just as they were last year. There were some issues though that will hopefully be fixed in the near future. These impressions and suggestions have been passed on to EA for that purpose. I've included videos of the first two games that I was involved in broken down by half. Both times club Pasta Padre was the Blazers and took on...

NBA 2K9 Screens and Highlights
Previously I went through both community websites being presented by 2K and EA. Both offer features that can extend the enjoyment of their respective titles. Having Live over the last week I was able to get up a handful of highlight clips and a bunch of screenshots. The screens were great quality and the highlights had some excellent improvements and turned out really well. Now comes an opportunity to look at the 2K community site. I've included a couple screens I've taken, a Deron Willia...
