Finally…the class action lawsuit everyone has been waiting for!
So it turns out all the threats over the years around suing EA over the exclusive NFL license have finally materialized in a futile, and somewhat laughable, class action suit filed last week. You can read it in PDF form here thanks to TMZ. The suit alleges that EA Sports has an "unlawful and anticompetitive series of exclusive agreements" with the NFL, NCAA, and Arena Football. Such has driven companies like Take-Two out of the football market and prevented others from entering it. The c...

EA Sports World won’t have online dynasty component
Only a day after the launch of the upgraded EA Sports World comes disappointing news. In late April NCAA Football 09 producer Ben Haumiller had an interview with Gametap where he talked about the game and added the following information about online dynasty. “Our full stat tracking that goes in for dynasty will be in the online version,” Haumiller explains, “and we’re also working with EA Sports World to get our stats displayed on the Web as well.

NCAA Football 09 top 25 toughest places to play
Something I neglected to add into my impressions from the community event was the list of the toughest places to play in NCAA Football 09.

Head Coach has a short gameplay clip, a lengthy one displaying the play creator (which you can actually put together plays much faster than I show in that), and one that flips through all of the NFL's co...
