    There are three more videos up on Gametrailers for NCAA Football 08. The first shows off more gameplay with Ohio State at Michigan. The cool part of this video is that the game is played in the snow, and unlike previous years the snow accumulates on the ground. So much so that you can't see the field. The second video is another tutorial from the game, this time touching on the new features within the gameplay. How can you not love the trick plays? The automatic pre-snap motion should b...
  • Co-Op confirmed for Madden 08

    I have received word from EA Sports that offline co-op (2 vs 2) is going to be included in Madden 08. Having this settled should ease the concern that it would not be in again this year. There is no form of co-op in NCAA Football 08 and that disappointed some people who look forward to the chance to play alongside a friend on the same team. Although it doesn't seem to be an overwhelmingly demanded feature, it certainly is nice to have it in for those people who enjoy the co-op type experi...

    The flood of videos for the EA football titles continue from Gametrailers. This one spotlights the new features in NCAA Football 08 with the game's tutorial on the subject. The ability to upload screenshots and clips is one of the biggest non-gameplay addition to a sports game for me in a while. I'm extremely excited about it and can't wait to get into that. It has added a huge amount of value to games such as Forza 2 and Burnout Revenge, not to mention the ridiculous measures people...

    Danny Doeberling, one of Madden's gameplay producers, has posted up a new blog featuring a look at the process behind creating the new player specific celebrations that you'll be seeing in Madden 08. The full piece can be read here. The videos show off the process that goes behind creating these celebrations using mocap. These two are attempted replications of a dance that Bengals' receiver Kelley Washington perfomed after a TD in the preseason last year and one for Terrell Owens from hi...

    ***As of the afternoon on June 20th, GamingAge has removed all of the screenshots that they had posted. No explanation has been given.*** GamingAge has released a new preview of APF 2K8 as well as 30 new screens of the game. The preview doesn't really offer up anything that hasn't already been covered. One note that seems to be news though is that created players are considered legends and go into the legend pool. Selecting a created player for your team will take up one of the 11 legen...
