Madden 09 demo news
Since the NCAA Football 09 demo came out early many have wondered when the one for Madden 09 would be arriving. While nothing is certain yet they are working towards having one prerelease though it would be more along the lines of a week before unlike NCAA's month before. Interestingly it appears that EA Sports and 7-Eleven have teamed up for a Madden promotion. One aspect of that is a demo that can be picked up in-store prior to release of the game. A first for EA Sports and exclusive to ...

Madden 09 celebration videos
More videos from Madden 09, this time showcasing some of the post-TD celebrations in the game. Previous discuss has centered around specific players having their own unique celebrations, the ability to "steal" an opponent's celebration, and team specific celebrations such as the Lambeau Leap. Also there has been the community suggestion to have the option of turning off the boxes of light in the end zone that are designated for activating different which EA did listen to (they are not visible ...

Madden 09: The lost Community Event videos
While going through the folder with all the videos I took at the Football Community Event I came across a handful that I hadn't posted (most of the past videos can be found through here). These feature basic gameplay with Browns @ Cowboys and Seahawks @ Rams along with more Superstar mode footage as Jonathan Stewart. Continue on to watch the four most recently added videos. (more…)...

Full game of NFL Head Coach 09
NFL Head Coach 09 was a difficult game to jump into at a community event. The almost overwhelming number of options and the overall depth of the title was too much to experience in that short period of time and in that environment. My personal feeling was I would probably be SuperSimming most of the games but really get into the offseason and draft process. What's great about Head Coach is there are several different ways you can play it. Whether it be in that manner or delegating to others in...

NBA Live 09 cover athlete announced on June 25th
The website for NBA Live 09 went up today and includes the news that the cover athlete for the game will be revealed on June 25th. Also of note is that the game has an official release date of Tuesday October 7th. Not much to read into as far as hints considering the ghosted cover art is the 08 Gilbert Arenas cover. Of the features announced to this point a guard seems to be favored if they are looking to tie the player into a theme. I'm sticking with my Deron Williams prediction. As I'v...

NCAA Football 09 demo videos
I went ahead and put together two videos from the NCAA Football 09 demo. The first is essentially a mash-up of some of the better plays in the first couple runs through the demo. The second is a full game start to finish. In both I am controlling LSU so I plan to add a user vs user video in the near future. It is somewhat tough to compare the demo to the builds I played at the community events, mostly because I never played a single time on Varsity difficulty. As I get more time in I may be...

NCAA Football 09 demo now available
The demo for NCAA Football 09 is now available for the Xbox 360 and as of this afternoon it is up for the PS3. The demo features LSU vs Ohio State and a mascot game with the Gators vs Longhorns. Both games have two minute quarters and are played on varsity difficulty level. Feel free to leave your impressions of the demo in the comments or discuss the game in the forum. I'll be posting up some videos from the demo this evening along with thoughts in general after the significant hands-on ti...

First patched feature may come for Madden 09
Madden 09 producers Phil Frazier and Ian Cummings stated earlier this evening that a patch that would add a feature (something that has not been done by Tiburon before) is going to be attempted. The feature which they are hoping to patch in is accelerated clock. The patch process is a lengthy one, so even if they started working on it now there is no guarantee that it would be ready by the time the game launched. Given that adding in features through a patch is difficult since they would be...
