**Edit 6/14: Update on the issue. Names will display in online games.  One of the more disappointing things to come out of the NCAA Football Community Day is the confirmation that edited roster names will not appear in online games on the Xbox 360 and PS3. This means for the people who manually edit the player names or import a full roster file, those will only be applicable for offline games. Everyone will be playing with QB #5, WR #82, DE #56, ect in the online games. Curiously, it ...

One piece of news coming out of the NCAA Football Community Day was that a demo for the game is being worked on and planned for release in early July. It will be available for both the 360 and the PS3. Hopefully the demo this year will offer a better experience than they had last year for the 360. It was made up of a full game only with one minute quarters. You couldn't get into any sort of flow with it, essentially making it a practice mode to get in a few plays before time expires.

A few more NCAA Football 08 screenshots have made their way out. Click the thumbnails below for the full size images.         What most stands out in these screens are the exceptional player models as well as the overall sharpness/brightness that seems to be prevalent.

This is the first time that EA has ever held an NCAA Football community day. Those who are familiar with the info that comes out of them knows how valuable they are and what a great opportunity it is to get impressions and questions answered from the people ...

Following a long pass completion in one of the recent videos from IGN an achievement was unlocked. Soon after the person playing the game pulled up the blade to reveal the list of achievements. It seemed to be accidental as it was immediately closed and cleared off the screen. However I paused it at that point and pulled off the ones that were shown. The Xbox 360 achievements displayed were: -Complete 30 yard pass (10) -Throw 4 TD passes in a game -350 total passing yards -200 to...
