Latest NBA Live 09 Q&A
NLSC has posted up a Q&A with NBA Live 09 producer Brian Ullrich. There is a good deal of information given and different aspects of the game touched on. This includes the Dynamic DNA, Live 365, the upcoming demo for 360/PS3, FIBA team selection process, and whether it will be as easy to drive to the lane as has been seen in some preview videos (despite the assurances of this not being the case from those at the community event).

WR Direct Snap Glitch Being Dealt With
In general the last thing I'd want to do is bring attention to a glitch that could ruin the enjoyment of the game for people. Currently Madden 09 online play has been riddled with people using the WR direct snap glitch. Inexplicably SportsGamer had detailed exactly how this glitch is done. While it had already spread though some circles now that a media site has decided to publicize it this will only been seen more. Here is a warning though to anyone tempted by that. Those who use the gli...

NBA 2K9 Previews
NBA 2K9 is now seeing a fair share of hands-on previews to flesh out the feature list that came out a while back. While much is known of both of the main NBA titles, 2K9 apparently still has a secret online mode in its back pocket to reveal at a later date. Gamespot and TeamXbox recently shared their thoughts on the game and more details on what to expect. TeamXbox discusses the improvements to the graphics, the ability to share created players, highlight sharing via Reelmaker, and 2K's v...

NBA Live 09 OTP Screenshots
EA Sports has sent over a batch of new screenshots featuring the Online Team Play in NBA Live 09. Last week I was able to detail the improvements made to the mode. These screens show some gameplay with the new meter displaying how well your player is performing, club joining and inviting, the trophy room, blog area, user scouting, and the recap screens following the game. You can find all of the screenshots in the gallery. If you have any questions about the mode or what is seen in the sc...

Importing Plays In Madden from Head Coach
The integration between NFL Head Coach 09 and Madden 09 is limited to the exporting of plays from Head Coach to Madden. I wanted to try this out in an effort to see how easily it can be done and how well it works. What I found is that it's relatively easy but doesn't work exactly as expected. I've put together a video going through the entire process, from the creation and exporting of a play in Head Coach to the importing and usage of a play in Madden. Continue on to watch it as well as ...

The patch that was expected around release time for Madden 09 has now gone out for both the 360 and PS3.

Eliminated a button mashing glitch during high latency online games. 4...

NBA Live 09 Online Team Play Improvements
Online Team Play is easily the aspect of the NBA Live 09 that I am most excited about. EA knew it was a big hit not only by the overwhelmingly positive response from gamers last year but also by seeing how online usage quadrupled after being released. Producer Julien Carron even talked with me about the list I published of how the mode could be improved and how a good deal of those suggestions were met. This year you'll be able to form "Clubs" which will have their own ranking system. A l...

Madden 09 Fantasy Football Integration
One of the new aspects to using EA Sports Fantasy Football this year is the ability to import your fantasy teams in Madden 09. While I initially had an issue getting the process to work EA was able to fix it so now there shouldn't be any trouble uploading the rosters to the locker where the game will grab it from. Anyone with an EA Fantasy Football team can seamlessly transfer them into Madden (PS3, 360) to use in play now, dynasty, or unranked online games. I set up a fantasy league to t...
