Some random topics and poll for today
Here are some random things I wanted to throw out there but wouldn't have made for much of a full posting on their own. Feel free to leave your comments in response to any of these. I've also added a poll if you continue on asking which of the three football games you are anticipating the most. There were more areas of confusion coming out of the media event held by EA last week than just the Fantasy Football which was cleared up through my producer interview. Apparently some media outlets...

Facebreaker shows off two new characters
EA Sports has released some new screenshots from Facebreaker featuring a character going by the name Voodoo along with a new trailer which puts the spotlight on Steve. While there has been an inordinate amount of screenshots and trailers released for the game thus far they have generally centered around Romeo and to a lesser extent Molotov. The original trailer gave glances at a few more characters to come but this is the first time they've really shifted the focus to others. You can check ...

First Prizefighter gameplay footage; 2K rep berates producer
With just one month to go until release the first gameplay footage from Don King Presents: Prizefighter has finally appeared. Up until now the storyline has seemed intriguing (despite it being linear) but there have been questions around the gameplay and why no videos had been shown or hands-on time been given. In a demonstration done on the Gamespot program "On The Spot" executive producer of the game Matthew Seymour walks through some of the aspects of the story mode and fighter creation ...

Full details on EA Fantasy Football
Through an interview with producers Justin Withers and Ronnie Morales I was able to get a good idea of everything involved with the setup/procedures and new features that are being rolled out this year with EA Fantasy Football. The confusion created by the previews that have been released on it should be taken care of thanks to this discussion. First of all the website based leagues remain. Drafting through the websites will function as normal. They are still completely free including the l...

EA Fantasy Football Update
Earlier this morning I reacted to the info provided by IGN regarding EA's Fantasy Football leagues. It turns out the details they provided weren't accurate (or at the very least weren't explained properly). It turns out that not only has the pricing not been finalized, but the $15 that was cited by IGN for the 360/PS3 draft application would be per league and not per owner. The optional live stats would be on an individual basis which is the norm with most league offerings. I have an int...

EA Fantasy Football not as good as previously thought
Update: Specific details coming soon. The IGN info isn't completely accurate. Update #2: Full details on EA Fantasy Football thanks to an interview conducted with the producers can be read here. While the details on EA Sports Fantasy Football were somewhat vague they sounded great. There would be drafting and live stats via the PS3 and 360 and importing of your teams into Madden 09. The leagues and teams would be free. Apparently they specifically mention those being free because the act...

Tiger Woods 09 Sawgrass comparison video
One thing that has started to become more common is the comparison being displayed of the upcoming release to the previous one. In many cases the initial reaction to seeing screenshots and videos is that the changes are minimal. This was the case with the first player model screenshots for NCAA Football 09, that was until they were compared directly with 08's. The first screenshots from Tiger Woods 09 weren't really all that exciting. They practically looked identical to what was seen in 08...
