Madden 10 OF Super Bowl Video
EA Sports has released a video chronicling the events of the Online Franchise Super Bowl that some in the office had been participating in. Lead developer Ian Cummings was able to get his Titans to the Super Bowl to take on the Cowboys. The video contains a good deal of quality gameplay footage. Keep in mind that the video comes from an old build, probably two months old or thereabouts. There wouldn't be a way to update the build and transfer over an existing franchise. So some things not...

Gamers and Econ Professor Sue EA Sports
How many times have we seen this one? A couple of gamers get together and try to sue one of the largest video game makers in the world over a sports game? Usually it’s some die hard NFL 2K fan coming up with some whacky scheme to sue EA Sports in hopes of them losing their exclusive license with the NFL. This time around, we aren’t just talking about gamers. We are also throwing in an Economics professor the University of Michigan. Gamepolitics.com has the story: A Unive...

NCAA Football 10 Impressions
While I haven't been able to spend extensive time with NCAA Football 10 I did want to post up my initial impressions. After reading through some reviews it's clear that the game is getting credit for things it probably shouldn't, but also getting knocked in areas unfairly. I stated in my E3 impressions that people who enjoyed NCAA 09 would likely enjoy NCAA 10 a great deal, and that those who strongly disliked 09 would not feel differently this year. It appears that has come to fruition with...

Public Madden 10 Demo Keeps Getting Worse
After the disappointment with the structure of the Fight Night Round 4 demo rollout (two weeks early for Gamestop preorders) I was hopeful that a similar situation wouldn't be encountered again. Unfortunately the more information that comes out about the demo situation for Madden 10 the more disappointing it becomes. At first it was discovered that Gamestop preorders would get a full five minute quarters demo featuring the Super Bowl match-up of Steelers vs Cardinals. That was to be the i...

NCAA Fixed Rosters Available Now
We now have the names of the EA Lockers that contain the "fixed" rosters for NCAA Football 10. The rosters that shipped with the game were incomplete. Some teams had no or very few freshman and there were also players still around who had graduated and moved on. These rosters are simply the "fixed" rosters in that they are what should have gone out with the final version of the game. They are not the named rosters. It may be the weekend before anyone completes a fully named roster set. While...

NCAA Football 10 Video Blowout #2
Here is the second set of NCAA Football 10 videos. Featured in this group are four portions of gameplay with the community based created team the Pastapadre Ninjas. There was one more significant video with the Ninjas in their away uniforms which had probably the best results of all but I've been unable to get that video up and may not be able to until the weekend. (more…)...

NCAA Football 10 Video Blowout #1
Restrictions have now been lifted allowing for the posting of videos that I have been putting together since getting NCAA Football 10 on Friday. Since the videos are in HD they make for a lengthy process converting and uploading so I am pleased to have completed 12 of them in all. Included in this posting is a full game with Purdue @ South Carolina broken down by quarter. Also a short clip from the first High School Road to Glory game and the first few minutes of a game using my Teambuild...

Padre Road to Glory: Part Two
Judging Road to Glory without having even reached college would've been premature. Still even after just the beginning of a long journey there was a lot to take from the first update. While noticing the general improvements to gameplay there continue to be some issues with different aspects of the mode. However there remains a lot to look forward to with the special presentation that will come as the career continues and milestones are accomplished. The first of those happens following the Hig...
