Madden and NCAA Football screenshot update
EA Sports will be releasing a screen of a new alternate jersey every weekday. With the stated 50+ alternates that should run it all the way up to around release time. The first came out yesterday and displayed the Kansas Jayhawks red jersey. I won't be doing a post for each screen but they will be added into the gallery on a daily basis or you can check the NCAA Football 09 website for them as they go up. *Notre Dame now added to the gallery. I have the full size Madden 09 snow screensho...

Gamestop Madden Monday: Inclement Weather
The Gamestop blog is back again this week with its "Madden Monday" entry. Last time it covered the user controlled celebrations and now they go over the topic of inclement weather. You can read it in full here. Unfortunately the screenshot they posted originally was so small that it was difficult to really examine it for what they were describing. So I got ahold of the full size screenshot. Update: Clicking the thumbnail below will bring up the image. Then click full size to view it as o...

After discussing the errors with uniforms in Madden in the interview I had with Peter Moore he stated he would make it a priority to get right. It appears that he has followed through on that promise. W...

Who will be the PS3 NCAA Football 09 cover athlete?
On Tuesday I went over the top candidates for the Madden 09 cover. That, along with the PS3 cover of NCAA Football 09, are expected to be announced late next week. With the most obvious cover athlete candidate Darren McFadden already announced as exclusive to the 360 it opens up the opportunity for another high profile player to take the PS3 cover. EA Sports has stated that each cover will represent a different region so with McFadden the south is already taken. Lets look at the most likely ca...

NCAA Football 09 debut trailer
Gametrailers has posted the first trailer for NCAA Football 09. Pretty much everything that has been discussed about the game is on display in the video. You can really see the vast improvements that have been made (and previously seen in the screenshots) to the player models, lighting, and environments. The footage showing the wide open gameplay looked really fluid and natural. Noticed the home field advantage made the receiver routes unsteady which is interesting. Hopefully we'll find out...
