The Line Drive 11/1/09
The first look at EA MMA will come during the November 7th Strikeforce event on CBS. The game will be used to preview each fight before they begin. The original first screenshot for EA MMA, which was first found and scanned from Sports Illustrated, can now be found in the screenshot gallery. While I generally don't cover WWE games it is worth noting that the license has run out for THQ and the period to extend it has now been pushed back to the end of the year. Presumably WWE ...

EA Sports and the Brees Dream Foundation are now offering pink and black Drew Brees jerseys for the avatars on Playstation Home. The jerseys are sold for $2 with all proceeds going to the foundation which supports breast cancer awareness. The jerseys will be available until November 11th. NBA Live 10 is coming to the iPhone later this month. After the success of Madden 10 on the iPhone it'll be interesting to see if a basketball game can translate as well to the platform. I ha...

The alternate uniform for the Seahawks is confirmed to be included in the next patch for Madden 10. No word on if there will be any other additions or adjustments to uniforms within the patch or an estimate on when it may be out. I think it would be great if they were able to include the pink accessories celebrating National Breast Cancer Awareness Month that will be seen throughout October in the NFL. The free Madden 10 Online Franchise app for the iPhone has been out for about a w...

It is now down to the Final Four in the NCAA Football 11 Wishlist Tournament over at ncaaStrategies. Formation subs go up against custom playbooks and correct option blocking faces better offensive playbooks. My favorite out of those would be custom playbooks, an option I feel should be in Madden as well. You can place your votes in their forum. Another former college football player is suing EA for past use of his likeness in the NCAA Football series. This time it is a player that ...

In response to the story on the AFL Legacy downloadable content EA has informed me that they are working on a "comprehensive" DLC pack that includes AFL content. However the description and pricing listed on the PSN store in affected regions apparently was incorrect. So it appears there will be even more to what was already a worthwhile DLC pack but it will probably not be free. The next roster update for Madden 10 will come post final cuts. Most likely it will arrive Tuesday, Wedne...

The Art Designer for Madden 10 mentioned in a tweet that the 49ers helmet color is being fixed in an update coming soon. Now that the Seahawks alternate lime green jersey is looking like a reality the indications are that will be added to the game as well as the AFL legacy uniforms. No specification on how this would be done yet whether that be through a patch, free DLC, or roster update. TeamXbox takes an extensive look at the NHL Shop in NHL 10. Similar to the Madden Shop and DLC ...

The Madden 10 Online Franchise app for the iPhone will not be out until sometime in September. Apparently delays have caused it to be pushed back from the intended release alongside the game. The Gamestop preorder incentive for NBA Live 10 is now known and thankfully it is not tied to a demo or any particular game feature. Instead it will be a copy of the soundtrack given away. ESPN takes an amusing look at the lowest rated players at each position or category to put together ...

The Line Drive 7/21
Updating on the public Madden 10 demo (the one with the one minute quarters) will now be out on the 360 for XBL Gold members on Thursday the 23rd. Silver members and PS3 owners will have to wait until the 30th. A new name has been added to the confirmed or rumored roster list for EA Sports MMA, that being former Green Beret Tim Kennedy. He joins Randy Couture, Tim Sylvia, Frank Shamrock, Fedor Emelianenko and Gegard Mousasi as those who are believed to be connected to the upcoming g...
