NBA Live 09 will have ground-breaking feature
As the speculation over NHL 09's "massive" online feature that has "never been seen in a sports game before" continues, word comes that NBA Live 09 will apparently deliver something on the same scale. According to Peter Moore in his latest blog entry, the game will have the most ground-breaking feature of any EA Sports release this year. I’m not surprised that NBA LIVE, which jumped 15 points in review scores a year ago, has the most ground-breaking feature from our lineup this year an...

Finally…the class action lawsuit everyone has been waiting for!
So it turns out all the threats over the years around suing EA over the exclusive NFL license have finally materialized in a futile, and somewhat laughable, class action suit filed last week. You can read it in PDF form here thanks to TMZ. The suit alleges that EA Sports has an "unlawful and anticompetitive series of exclusive agreements" with the NFL, NCAA, and Arena Football. Such has driven companies like Take-Two out of the football market and prevented others from entering it. The c...

Madden 09 Uniform Blog
Something that has been taken note of over the past few days is the immediate response to community suggestions. Things like toning down the camera flashes, adding a kick return play with a single returner back, making the weather affect play more, and turning off the passing icons when a QB drops back too far all appear as though they may be acted upon for Madden 09 despite the time constraints. One topic that has been discussed not only lately, but over the past few years has been uniform...

More Football Community Event Videos
I went through and pulled out some of the better clips that I had taken over the two days with Madden 09, NFL Head Coach 09, and NCAA Football 09. With Madden there is a lengthy superstar mode one which displays from the perspective of a RB, QB, CB, and DE, along with a few gameplay sequences. Head Coach has a short gameplay clip, a lengthy one displaying the play creator (which you can actually put together plays much faster than I show in that), and one that flips through all of the NFL's co...
