NFL Tour gameplay videos
Gameinformer was able to play Shawne Merriman online in NFL Tour and they recorded the action. The videos are from near the end of the first half and then the entire second half as Merriman takes his Chargers up against the Packers. IGN also posted up videos of their time playing Merriman and they took the Jaguars up against him. What I am a little confused by is the rosters which were announced yesterday. They aren't balanced in terms of number of players at each position. In the video t...

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 ...

NBA Ballers: Chosen One announced
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. I have added the four initial screenshots of the game to the gallery. The fast-paced one-on-one and two-on-two action returns as players can select from more than 65 N...

Also a reminder that anyone with questions about the game can leave them in the comments or send them to me via the contact form and I'll try to turn around a list for the Tour team to answer. I'm looking to do that this week so make sure to get any ideas or suggestions to me soon....

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…)...
