Free downloadable update will allow for 10 players in online FIFA 08 games
Now normally I couldn't care less about FIFA news but this is pretty big and ultimately is a sign of where other sports games will be headed. While it was talked about a while back how the goal was to get to a point in a few years where there would be 11 vs 11 in an online game, it seems they've achieved nearly half of that already. Within 6-8 weeks following the release of FIFA 08, a free downloadable update will become available that will make it possible to have 5 vs 5 (10 consoles) in a...

NHL 08 will run at 30fps on the PS3, 60fps on 360
One of the biggest selling points for NHL 08 this year was the move to 60fps. Until now it was unknown whether the PS3 would also be running at 60fps, or if it would be like the football titles released this year (Madden, NCAA, All-Pro) that ran at 30fps on the PS3. News has come in that the PS3 version of NHL 08 will run at 30fps while the 360 runs at its 60fps. It had begun to appear this would be the case as EA hadn't stated that the PS3 would be at 60fps. Surely if it was they would'...

NHL 08 will have online leagues
It has been announced that NHL 08 will include an online league feature on the Xbox 360 and PS3. This will be the first attempt at it from EA Sports since the ill-fated "Premium Pass" in Madden 2005. (1UP) "NHL 08's online leagues don't have the full complement of features that a typical Dynasty season would have," said Atienza. "We are looking to add more depth to online leagues next year. But we do have full stat tracking." One bummer is th...
