Ideas for NCAA Football 09
With NCAA Football 08 now released and having had a few weeks to play it comes time to start generating ideas for NCAA Football 09. This is when input can be considered as pretty soon the point of no return will have been reached for what goes into and is focused on for 09. I will have the opportunity to communicate ideas and opinions to the team working on 09, so feel free to leave your thoughts on what you would like to see in the game and what you would like improved. You can do so by leavin...

All-Pro Football 2K8 sales fall flat

Madden Community Event set for August 9th
The Madden 08 Community Event will officially take place August 8-10th at the Tiburon studio in Orlando. The time with the game will be spent on Thursday the 9th as the other two are travel days. For myself that accounts for a big chunk of time considering there couldn't be much further of a flight within the contiguous states than Seattle to Orlando while connecting through California. As opposed to past community events where there was more significant amount of time before the...

IGN has posted two new Madden 08 articles. One details the stadium creator, and the other goes over Superstar mode. Superstar is very similar to NCAA Football's Campus Legend mode although it has one element that is specific to Madden.

While the concept was great, the horrible camera a...
