NFL Tour rosters
The full rosters from NFL Tour has been revealed by Gametap. With only five weeks to go until release we'll be hearing more about the game now, including when I get hands-on time with it in less than two weeks. Some of the decisions are a little puzzling, such as how a handful of teams have two QBs but most have just one. Some teams have two wide receivers while others have three or four. Why is Charlie Frye in over Seneca Wallace? Bizarre. These are the final rosters as there will be no ...

The latest update on the Madden patch
It appears that the long awaited second patch for Madden 08 is nearing clearance for release. There should be an EA producer blog coming very soon that will have more details on when it can be expected. This is the patch that will address the main issues with the game such as the high rate of fumbles and franchise mode freezes. It is possible but unlikely they'll be providing a specific date so we may be looking at range. The impression I get is by the end of next week but there is no ...

Midway today announced the return of the NBA Ballers franchise. "Chosen One" will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 this coming spring. It appears that along with its arcade style counterpart in NBA Street they will once again begin alternating years of release on the 360/PS3 as had previously been done on the PS2/Xbox.

NFL Tour soundtrack
Here is the complete track listing from NFL Tour. You can now listen to a 30 second sample of each song on the game's official website. I'm not familiar with most of these artists but with EA's track record in this area I'm sure the songs will fit the up-tempo style of the game. Continue on to view the entire soundtrack. (more…)...

EA Jersey creator contest has a winner
After sorting through 30,000 submissions over the course of about six weeks EA has selected the winner of the jersey creator contest. The Golden State Warriors submission above was deemed to be the best. This jersey will be a free download in NBA Live 09. I went through the jerseys labeled as "EA Favorites" and found some I liked a lot even more than the one that was chosen as the winner. I previously spotlighted a handful and I still am somewhat partial to the two Grizzlies entries. Clic...
