Three more March Madness 08 gameplay videos
This time instead of an entire game I have around four minutes from three different ones. Maryland @ Villanova, Wisconsin @ Tennessee, and Penn State @ Texas. These were all played on varsity difficulty and default settings.
Up next will be some classic videos and a shorter clip with the game speed pushed up to compare to the default. I should have my initial impressions of the game up by Sunday morning. Continue on to view the videos.

March Madness 08 full game #2
Here is another full game once again broken down into three videos. This matchup has the Oregon Ducks traveling to face the Washington Huskies. Varsity difficulty with 10 minute halves and default settings.
I'm not sure why but this one just seemed to flow better than the first. Even the game speed seemed a little quicker. I think you guys will notice the difference between the two. Part of it probably has to do with how I'm beginning to get more comfortable with the controls and the type...
IGN previews NFL Tour
IGN has posted their latest preview of NFL Tour which you can check out here.They have also added the first videos of the two mini-games "Smash and Dash" and "Red Zone Rush" among some other new gameplay ones and a sizzle trailer. The preview doesn't really contain any new info but the videos are worth a look.
At the event I'll be attending next weekend I'll be able to get a lot of the questions about the game answered along with basic impressions. Before I leave for that I'll post up the...
First full game of March Madness 08
Here is the first full game I played of March Madness 08. Featured is the USC Trojans @ UCLA Bruins. The game was played on varsity difficulty with default settings and 10 minute halves.
So you'll notice UCLA's jerseys immediately because the players all are wearing short shorts. I chose those on accident. The game doesn't tell you which are throwbacks and which aren't. They just state "home" or "away". And since it just shows the jersey and with UCLA's the only difference between the two...
NFL Tour gameplay videos
Gameinformer was able to play Shawne Merriman online in NFL Tour and they recorded the action. The videos are from near the end of the first half and then the entire second half as Merriman takes his Chargers up against the Packers. IGN also posted up videos of their time playing Merriman and they took the Jaguars up against him.
What I am a little confused by is the rosters which were announced yesterday. They aren't balanced in terms of number of players at each position. In the video t...

Thoughts on the March Madness 08 demo and videos
After playing through the demo a few more times my impressions of it are below. I've also recorded the full demo played through two times and added those videos for everyone to watch.
Ever since the info on March Madness 08 started coming out they've been pushing the idea of how they slowed the game speed down. That concerned me heading into the demo because it almost felt as if they were conditioning people for it so that it wouldn't be such a major shock in how different the game was go...
All about March Madness 08 Dynamic Post Moves
One of the biggest improvements to the March Madness series this year is the Dynamic Post Play. A new producer blog with a gameplay video from IGN and a video breakdown of the feature by Billy Donovan recently came out to go over it in more detail.
The producer blog can be found here. It basically just expands upon what is talked about by Billy Donovan in the video that demonstrates the feature.
Everything about the Dynamic Post Play sounds great, especially having options on the defen...
