G4 gave the award for Best Innovation at E3 to NBA Live 09 (365/Dynamic DNA) There are currently no plans to change the cover of Madden 09. Not a surprise given that nothing has happened yet. Still is very possible that if Favre plays for a different team that EA would look to take advantage of that in some way. Peter Moore will be an unlockable character in Facebreaker. Gamespy has some gameplay footage from NBA 09 The Inside. The Pastapadre Online Dynasty has adv...

FIFA 09 will bring the expansion of the Online Team Play to 10 on 10. That means 09 will offer up to a total of 20 different 360s or PS3s the ability to connect into a single online game. Last year the maximum was 10. The news was confirmed by producer David Rutter in an interview with Gamesradar. The only players that won't be user controlled are the goaltenders. We've managed to get 10 v 10 this year online through strength of will and technological nous. [But] we want to make sure the cont...

While the "All Play" concept should result in better quality products that have wider appeal it looks like how successful that will be in year one will vary. (more…)...

Amongst all the information about FIFA 09 to have come out since yesterday was an interesting quote from producer David Rutter in a Q&A with Gamespot AU. While the gameplay will be virtually identical, the PS3 version will have a game mode that the 360 will not. There will not be any differences in the way the game plays on PS3 and Xbox 360. They will be identical-playing games. However, PS3 will have a game mode exclusive to that system which we'll talk about later in the year. Whether ...

Gamespot has posted up the first full preview of FIFA 09 and a video has found its way out that displays gameplay along with discussion about the game with producer David Rutter. It also appears that FIFA will join NHL and NBA Live in receiving feature announcements at E3. Given the great contrast in team skill levels in UEFA, EA implemented an adaptive AI that used realistic team strategies based on the team's opponent. For instance, a team with less talent may choose to play a defensive gam...
