Questions about NFL Tour or March Madness 08?
I am working on putting together some questions for a March Madness 08 producer interview coming up which I plan on sending in tomorrow. With so much having already been discussed about the game and having a demo already out I'd like to hear what remains unanswered within the community about the game or anything that may have arisen based on the demo. (Thanks to those who have made suggestions. The list for March Madness has been sent in) I should also have the opportunity to get some que...

Updates to screenshot gallery for Tour and MM08
A few additions have been made recently to the screenshot gallery. I have added 15 new screens for NFL Tour. This game is starting to gain some momentum especially after the news that it would be $50 instead of the standard $60 and now that it's less than 2 months until release. Right now this is my most anticipated game coming out through January. I'm hoping that it will provide the same level of fun for football that The BIGS did for baseball earlier this year. March Madness 08 has 2...

Adrian Peterson: Madden 09 cover front-runner
Last year prior to the Madden 08 cover announcement I supported the idea of putting selecting Devin Hester. There was no doubt he was one of the most valuable players in the league and arguably the most exciting. The impact he had for his team was unmatched although in a non-traditional way through special teams. This year it's another rookie that looks like he could be the most appealing option for the Madden cover. Adrian Peterson has quickly established himself as the best RB in the ...

Madden curse En Espanol
As I've written about previously I'm not a believer in the Madden curse. It is often reached for when the media wants an easy article to write. They'll wait on a natural event to occur and then jump on it, as if it was clever that they made the connection. However in this case the coincidence warrants mention. Chargers DE Luis Castillo, who was recently pegged for the cover of Madden 08 En Espanol releasing in December, left the game against the Vikings on Sunday after injuring his knee a...

NFL Tour to be $10 cheaper than the standard?
Gamespot/EB Games now displays NFL Tour as having a price drop to $49.99 with Amazon having added Tour at the same $49.99. This would represent a $10 savings over all the EA Sports titles that have been released for the 360/PS3 so far. Changes such as this only happen when they get specific information. It seems likely that EA will be presenting the new title at a reduced and more consumer friendly price, and other retailers have since followed with the price adjustment. Could this be ...
