NCAA Football 10 Patch #2 Details
EA Sports has released the details of the second patch for NCAA Football 10. This appears to be a very substantial patch which is somewhat expected since the first patch addressed little other than fixing the sliders, adding the ability to turn off DLC cheats in Online Dynasty, and making the somewhat more accurate rosters playable online. The patch is expected to be out soon but no official date has been specified as of yet. As has been pointed out though in the comments there is no ment...

Where Does NCAA Football Go From Here?
The NCAA Football series has seen its ups and downs over the last few years. Still one of the most fully featured sports games ever, there is definitely reason for gamers to be frustrated. NCAA Football 10 lacked emotion, presentation, and ultimately offered stale gameplay. A series of gaffes including the issue that found the rosters in disarray plagued the game prior to release. The first patch for the game did nothing to actually improve the overall experience being offered other than ...

PP Online Franchise About To Begin
The Pastapadre Madden 10 Online Franchise has been taking shape over the last two weeks. Free agents have now been dispersed through a lottery and waiver process and a handful of trades have been completed. Philadelphia has been by far the most active having made multiple trades leading up to the start of the season.

Madden 10 Brett Favre Ratings
As reported earlier Brett Favre will be included in the Madden 10 roster update that is scheduled to go out tomorrow 8/19. Having him already created and ready to go surely accelerated the process allowing him to sneak into the update even though his signing today came as a surprise. The question becomes what QB has been removed from the roster, which will likely be John David Booty. Above is one of the first images of Favre in the game with more found in the screenshot gallery. Meanwhile...

Brett Favre Joining the Vikings
When Brett Favre announced his retirement my immediate reaction was I didn't buy it, and that certainly was a sentiment shared by others. Of course his un-retirement has yet again come to fruition as Brett Favre will be signing with the Minnesota Vikings today. Obviously this is a big boost to the team in Madden 10. They already have a great running game and explosive wide receivers. Now they'll upgrade from the 69 rated Sage Rosenfels and 67 rated Tavaris Jackson to someone with a big ar...

Madden 10 Michael Vick Ratings
EA Sports has released the initial ratings for Michael Vick now that he is being added in via roster update to Madden 10 on Wednesday August 19th. Given that Vick will be able to showcase himself in the final two preseason games there is some opportunity to see his ratings adjusted based on his performance in those. After that though there will be a period of time (up to six games) where he will not be active so they will be locked in. Personally I think he arrives a little overrated cons...
