Padre Road to Glory: Part One
My first mission with NCAA Football 10 was to get into Road to Glory mode. I've enjoyed Campus Legend in the past but a lack of updates or improvements caused me to lose interest. Given that I've now only gotten through the first two High School tournament games it is too early to tell whether the additions will change that feeling. Continue on for a recap of those two games and general thoughts on the mode thus far. (more…)...

NCAA Football 10 Arriving Soon
I have been informed that a copy of NCAA Football 10 may be arriving today (update: I have a PS3 version on hand).

Yesterday Gamestop sent out an email detailing the plans for the Madden 10 demo. The exclusive five minute quarters demo featuring the Cardinals vs Steelers will be available to download using the code obtained from Gamestop on Thursday July 23rd.

They will be in limited supply so it would be a good idea to call the stores on that day and head in to get it before they're all gone. What wasn't clear from the email was whe...

Madden 10 Play Calling Improvements
This week's Inside EA Blog for Madden 10 covers improvements that have been made to play calling and the playbooks.

You can check it out the article in full here. Another example we'll showcase is the Colts. Again, researching their playcalling percentages on first down, they are more of a passing team with Peyton Manning (56% p...

Madden NFL Hall of Fame
EA is set to announce the Madden NFL Hall of Fame program tomorrow. This is something that is community driven in determining what players or game related history makes the Hall of Fame based on different criteria. Gamestop has the early word on this in their blog and EA will lay it out in great detail tomorrow. Because it's a community-driven initiative, fan involvement is KEY. As an active member of the Madden Community, you can be a guiding force for the direction of the Madden NFL Hall ...

Latest NBA Free Agent Moves
In the earlier posting the focus was on the first big names to commit to new teams. Those were Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva to the Pistons and Hedo Turkoglu to the Trailblazers (which has earlier been confirmed - and updating has now apparently fallen apart). Yesterday a new wave of news came with agreements coming in from Ron Artest and Trevor Ariza. Continue on to check out the most recent developments and leave your thoughts on them in the comments.
