IGN previews NFL Tour
IGN has posted their latest preview of NFL Tour which you can check out here.They have also added the first videos of the two mini-games "Smash and Dash" and "Red Zone Rush" among some other new gameplay ones and a sizzle trailer. The preview doesn't really contain any new info but the videos are worth a look.
At the event I'll be attending next weekend I'll be able to get a lot of the questions about the game answered along with basic impressions. Before I leave for that I'll post up the...
NFL Tour gameplay videos
Gameinformer was able to play Shawne Merriman online in NFL Tour and they recorded the action. The videos are from near the end of the first half and then the entire second half as Merriman takes his Chargers up against the Packers. IGN also posted up videos of their time playing Merriman and they took the Jaguars up against him.
What I am a little confused by is the rosters which were announced yesterday. They aren't balanced in terms of number of players at each position. In the video t...
NFL Tour rosters
The full rosters from NFL Tour has been revealed by Gametap. With only five weeks to go until release we'll be hearing more about the game now, including when I get hands-on time with it in less than two weeks.
Some of the decisions are a little puzzling, such as how a handful of teams have two QBs but most have just one. Some teams have two wide receivers while others have three or four. Why is Charlie Frye in over Seneca Wallace? Bizarre. These are the final rosters as there will be no ...

Brand new NFL Tour screenshots
I have added 28 new screens from NFL Tour. You can find them in the screenshot gallery.
Also a reminder that anyone with questions about the game can leave them in the comments or send them to me via the contact form and I'll try to turn around a list for the Tour team to answer. I'm looking to do that this week so make sure to get any ideas or suggestions to me soon....
NFL Tour soundtrack
Here is the complete track listing from NFL Tour. You can now listen to a 30 second sample of each song on the game's official website.
I'm not familiar with most of these artists but with EA's track record in this area I'm sure the songs will fit the up-tempo style of the game.
Continue on to view the entire soundtrack.

Questions about NFL Tour or March Madness 08?
I am working on putting together some questions for a March Madness 08 producer interview coming up which I plan on sending in tomorrow. With so much having already been discussed about the game and having a demo already out I'd like to hear what remains unanswered within the community about the game or anything that may have arisen based on the demo. (Thanks to those who have made suggestions. The list for March Madness has been sent in)
I should also have the opportunity to get some que...
Updates to screenshot gallery for Tour and MM08
A few additions have been made recently to the screenshot gallery.
I have added 15 new screens for NFL Tour. This game is starting to gain some momentum especially after the news that it would be $50 instead of the standard $60 and now that it's less than 2 months until release. Right now this is my most anticipated game coming out through January. I'm hoping that it will provide the same level of fun for football that The BIGS did for baseball earlier this year.
March Madness 08 has 2...
