Leading Madden 2010 Cover Athlete Candidates
For the sake of discussion lets imagine that EA Sports doesn't go through with the idea of auctioning up the cover of Madden 2010. If they keep with tradition of choosing a player coming off a successful season we are now mid-way through the year and can narrow down the group right now that would be the most likely to be chosen. Continue on for my top five 2010 current cover candidates and vote in the poll for who you think it should be if the selection were to be made today. (more&he...

Madden 2010 Cover Athlete May Be Determined Via Auction
Earlier today Peter Moore stated to Bloomberg that the cover of next year's Madden may go to the highest bidder. The proceeds would then be donated to the United Way Foundation. The decision on whether this will happen has not yet been made but the possibility is being discussed. There's no question that many players would pay for the opportunity to be on the cover. Up until now the athlete has been determined by previous season performance, or in the case of Brett Favre the entirety of h...

Should There Be Another NFL Head Coach Game?
I'm in Vegas until tomorrow but wanted to drop a question for the community. Reaction from the hardcore crowd to NFL Head Coach 09 has been very positive, but sales numbers have not been very encouraging for the future of series. Personally I found the game to be initially intimidating and overwhelming, so I can only imagine what a more casual group of gamers would feel if they even were to give it a chance. It was just too time consuming for me and I lost interest soon after release. My ...

The Bills get some love this week, but the Cowboys somehow escape without any downgrades on defense, only one point lost on the offensive line, and Pacman Jones remains on the roster.

NBA 2K9 PC Copies Missing Activation Codes
The PC community was very pleased when 2K Sports announced that NBA 2K9 would be releasing a PC version. This amounts to the first attempt for 2K and with the platform vacated by EA Sports they have the basketball crowd to themselves this year. Anticipation was made even higher when it was stated the game would be a port of the 360 version rather than the PS2 version as Live had been offering up until this year. Though it lacks any online functionality there seemed to be a pretty large conti...

Blitz: The League II Impressions
The excessive nature of the original Blitz: The League turned me off from even wanting to try it. Despite that I heard some good things about the game so I decided to give Blitz: The League II a shot. While I don't know if it has been specifically toned down from the original I didn't get the same feeling about it. Maybe it was the marketing, or lack thereof this time around. I tend to enjoy arcade style sports games as long as they meet the following criteria: They have to be access...

Online Dynasties Now Viewable on EASW
The EA Sports World functionality that allows an online dynasty in NCAA Football 09 to be viewed online has is available now. You can go directly to the NCAA Football 09 online dynasty page of EASW by clicking here. This has apparently been functioning for a few weeks now, however it appears that you are left hanging when in the off-season portion of the dynasty. The page will just show a constant "loading" message. If it isn't going to display anything during the off-season then they rea...
