Full Game of Madden 09: Bills @ Jets
For the first full game video from Madden 09 there would be nothing more fitting than featuring Brett Favre on his new team. For the opponent I chose a division rival in the Bills as these two teams look to be competing for a wild card spot in the playoffs this year. This game includes my favorite play executed with Madden so far. On the first play of the 4th quarter I had to retreat from the pocket. At the last second I noticed a wide open Laveranues Coles way down field. I was able to g...

Facebreaker Demo Impressions and Videos
With the arrival of the Facebreaker demo comes the first opportunity to try out the fast paced action title that EA is banking on to be a hit. While the game looked to have potential as a throwback to the arcade boxing games of the past there really was no way to judge whether the game would truly until being able to play first hand. Make no mistake about it though this is more a fighting game than a boxing game and is not meant to be a replacement for Fight Night as Round 4 will be out next...

Facebreaker Photo Face Tutorial
EA Sports has released a video detailing the Photo Game Face feature in Facebreaker. Given that the demo releasing tomorrow on XBL and PSN presents the ability to insert your created face (only onto one of the three characters available within the demo) this is a timely look at the process. It then goes further into the feature with the create-a-boxer options and EA Sports World character uploading. Photo Face and the EASW integration remain the most interesting aspect of Facebreaker. The a...

There are six pages of the actual guide included covering various topics such as injuries, future prospec...

NCAA Football 09 Wii Impressions
As the first of the All-Play titles it was pretty obvious that EA Sports didn't have much confidence in NCAA Football 09 for the Wii. I even noted that a while back when EA was showing off the whole All-Play lineup...except for NCAA. Even feature wise it didn't match up lacking the online component that the others had. I took a different approach with this game (and will do the same with all Wii titles) going into it looking for something different. Would it provide a quick paced and fun ex...

A new trailer has been released for NHL 09 featuring the recently announced EA Sports Hockey League. This offers a progression and combination of the Be A Pro and Online Team Play modes within a giant league environment, all while playing for a created team and attempting to improve as an individual similar to an MMO. Continue on to view the trailer in which producer David Littman discusses the Hockey League feature along with gameplay footage from the unique camera perspectives. (more&...

Madden 09 Demo Videos
With the Madden 09 demo now out in DVD form, and coming next Friday to XBL and PSN, I wanted to drop some quick impressions and videos. I'll have more over the weekend as well. From the amount of time I've spent with the demo so far it is clearly from an older build than what was played at the Community Event. Apparently it is from an early April build and the one coming next week will be more recent. So not only are there visual differences (no camera flashes for example) but it doesn't pl...

NBA Live 365 Trailer
EA Sports has released a new trailer for NBA Live 09, this one spotlighting the 365 feature. As detailed previously, this will update the game every day based on the latest data and not just in terms of ratings or roster movement. It will add in new players after their first appearance, update tendencies, reflect injuries, and lead into hot and cold streaks. The trailer also goes into NBA Live Rewind which allows you to replay any game from last season or the upcoming one with the AI and roste...
