NCAA Football 08 online play falling short again
Once again the area of online play in an EA Sports title is failing. Granted this is right at and around release time and the problems could still very well be fixed. I have been told they are being looked into. However that is not a sufficient excuse for having a poor online play experience for everyone around the release time frame. By now everything should be fully prepared for and functioning correctly for the release of every title. Game crippling lag, disconnects, and connection issues ar...

NBA Live 08 to run at 60fps on both the 360 and PS3
Amidst all the discussion regarding the differences in framerate between the 360 and PS3 versions of Madden 08, NCAA Football 08, and All-Pro Football 2K8 (360=60fps, PS3=30fps) brings news regarding NBA Live 08. *Edit: Since this posting NHL 08 has also been confirmed to be 60fps on the 360 but only 30fps on the PS3. EA has been discussing the 60fps that Live will have since they began marketing the game. However with the story being how they (along with 2K) weren't able to get ...

Madden 08 on the PS3 confirmed to be 30fps
***UPDATE: EA has confirmed to myself and several others that the PS3 version of Madden will be running at 30fps. This was done in response to the rumor that it would be at 60fps which turns out to have been a miscommunication. It will be running at 30fps on the PS3.*** Back on June 29th it was revealed that while the 360 versions of all the football games (NCAA Football 08, All-Pro Football 2K8, Madden 08) would be running at 60fps, the PS3 versions would only be running at 30fps. ...

The OJ Simpson topic surfaces yet again
In what seems like ages ago, 2K Sports signing OJ Simpson to be in All-Pro Football 2K8 was the hot topic. Despite that it never really reached the point of anything more than a discussion over whether it was right or wrong. Anthony Chau of 2K has stated that OJ Simpson being in the game generated the most questions from the media. However it never got to the point where the mainstream picked up on it. Small mentions of it were made such as in this preview that called it the "only potentially...

Achievements for Madden 08 revealed
The list of Xbox 360 achievements for Madden 08 has made its way out. It isn't a real exciting list. Although I'm not sure what there could be for Madden to get me excited about its achievements. There are no online related ones which is disappointing. Actually there are no mode specific achievements, they all appear to be gameplay related. At least this year there aren't a ton of points you know you'll never get. Those Superstar mode ones last year were ridiculous. I know that ...

Madden 08 weapon breakdown and team ratings
SportsGamer recently published a full list of all of the weapons held by each player as well as the overall team ratings. The accuracy of the list comes into question as a few confirmed weapons are not listed here as well as previous statements made not completely matching up. However it could simply be that those were altered since then. I'll note some of those things in my recap of the info. Also keep in mind this was not from the final version of the game so there could potentially ...
