NBA Live 08 sizzle trailer
IGN has posted up a sizzle trailer for NBA Live 08. If there is one thing you can always rely on, it's that EA will put out trailers that really make the game seem exciting. Despite the issues that I laid out in my community day report, after watching this I get the itch to get back playing the game some more. It really is unprecedented the amount of access, info, and media out on a game that is still four months away from release. ...

Screens of Celtics’ Ray Allen in NBA Live 08
Earlier today EA released two screenshots of Ray Allen in his new Boston Celtics gear. This is the first in a seven day series of NBA Draft related screens that will be released. Click the image above to view both of them in full size at the official NBA Live 08 website. The Celtics look like they'll be a relatively good team in the game. Combining him with Paul Pierce is going to make for a pretty effective combo. Now that Rashard Lewis is leaving for the Magic, there is another team that...

All-Pro Football 2K8 Hands-On from IGN
In what reads more as a recap of what is already known, IGN has posted their hands-on of APF 2K8 and added a few new screenshots. You can check it out by clicking here. They've also posted up new videos which you can view here. There were a few new things that somewhat surprised me though. The first is that the playoffs consist of only four teams. The season in All-Pro 2K8 will run the length of the traditional NFL season, although there is no bye week involved and no tradin...

Earlier it was confirmed that a demo would be released on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 in early July. It now appears that it will be coming in conjunction with E3 which is being held next week.

Other sports titles such as Madden 08, Tiger Woods 08, and FIFA 08 are on the list, however it seems unlikel...

Upcoming Madden 08 Community Event
Next week brings the annual Madden community event, in which a handful of community leaders get an opportunity to spend time with Madden 08. Unfortunately we will not be joined in person by the producers however we will be given an opportunity to submit any questions to them after. This year it will be taking place in Los Angeles and runs from the 10th-13th with the Madden gameplay session taking place on the 12th. As always, I'm open to taking any suggestions of what to look for ...

Exclusive NBA Live 08 Kevin Durant screenshot
EA has sent pastapadre.com an exclusive screenshot from NBA Live 08 featuring the new Seattle Supersonic Kevin Durant. Click the image above to view the full size screen. As a fan of the Sonics I can't wait to use Durant in the game. Losing Ray Allen is a killer though, as I rely on his outside shot to really stretch the defense. Wally Szczerbiak will have to pick up some of that for me now. The additions of Durant and Jeff Green though will make for a fun team to play with (especially if t...

2K has released a new official trailer for APF 2K8 and Gamespot has posted up some gameplay videos. It is refreshing that now, instead of the marketing being the topic of discussion, it will be the actual game that is talked about heading towards release. The demo is going to be a big part of that, something I'm sure everyone is looking forward to. ...

NBA Live 08: Own the Paint
IGN has done a feature article on "Own The Paint" for NBA Live 08. As an offensive player in the post, you'll have far more options than merely backing down a defender and then shooting close to the hoop. Using the analogue sticks, post players now enter into a shot/countershot battle of fakes and quick moves to the hoop. Moves in the paint are contextual and are based on the player, their position in the paint, and how you manipulate the sticks. If defending has been a problem f...
