Padre out of the office
On Wednesday Padre was visiting the EA Canada studio for a media event. However now he leaves for the wonderful city of Las Vegas for a much needed vacation that runs through Monday.At some point over the next couple days, his first hand look at NBA Live 08 will suddenly appear.
Understand though that the updates on the site will not be as frequent over the weekend. However he claims that he will attempt to check-in and post up any of the important news at least once a day.
Also you can check the sidebar for updates from Padre throughout his time in Vegas via Twitter. The “What I’m doing” area contains the last three Twitter entries. You can also follow along by clicking here.

What NFL team had the best Madden draft?
Previously I addressed the issue of how much impact rookies can actually have in Madden. Now with the NFL Draft completed, we can look at how the teams fared and who made the most significant moves in terms of improving themselves within Madden 08. Keep in mind that for the sake of this discussion, trades for non-rookies such as Randy Moss and Darrell Jackson will not be considered. I’ve listed out who I perceive had the top 5 drafts, be sure to vote in the poll at the end on which team you feel had the best “Madden draft”. -
Out most of the day Wednesday 5/2
I’ll be gone for most of the day on Wednesday May 2nd attending the media event at EA Canada. New updates will come possibly very late on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.

IGN takes a look at All-Pro Football 2K8
IGN has released more details on All-Pro Football 2K8. The entire article can be found here. For a recap of the main points, see below.
-A video featuring Jerry Rice was shown to the media in attendance. It displayed some of the features of the game as well as some of the stadiums and their larger than life style themes.
-Customization will be a big part of the game. It will not allow for the recreation of the NFL, however team names, cities, and uniforms will be customizable.
-Teams will be made up of a mixture of Legends and generic players. The ratio between the two was not mentioned.
-There will be a Season mode. It was already known that there would be no Franchise mode.
-Player ratings will remain static over the course of the season
-“Will ship” with over 240 legendary players. Specifically using the term “ship” suggests that more legends may be made available via downloadable content.
Outside of the stadiums which sound a little ridiculous (giant Cowboys???) the game appears to have a good deal of promise. The lack of franchise mode is still disappointing, and the excuse given as to why is really weak. How well this game ultimately comes together is the question. At this point it is impossible to gauge.
Look for that Jerry Rice trailer to be released in the near future.
