From the players (which come off as caricature...

GameShow V1.1 Impressions
The EA GameShow December update was released yesterday. For full details of what is included in the 1.1 version of GameShow check out this posting.

FIFA 08 OTP patch fixes
Along with the Online Team Play update that allowed for up to 10 players on their own systems in a single online game, the FIFA 08 team was able to address some other issues at the same time. EA sent out the following detailing the specifics.

During all this hard work they found some time to opti...
