MM08

Earlier today we got the a list of (some of) the classic teams in March Madness 08. Now IGN has posted up the top five rated players at each position in the game.

IGN also mentions the release date as December 11th. This coincides with the producer blog that mentioned that date as well. However everything else has stated December 18th. I will try and get confirmation one way or the other. (Update) Right now there appears to be no certainty around whether it will be the 11th or the 18th.

    Yah it just doesn’t make sense why they are preventing it now, several years back I could understand but in today’s age with the ability to even edit the rosters anyway it just seems like a matter of time before they would give in…

    Honestly with guys only staying in school a year or two and then hopping to the pros you really aren’t going to do anything to take away the stardom aspect by not showing names.

    Very very strange rule, hopefully more intelligent heads will prevail :)

    Why can’t MM import the guys who want to go pro onto Live. its cool to follow there careers instead of just forgetting about them in the game. I think the real All-American Game is a great addition. please write back Pasta

    EA’s explanation is that it is difficult to come up with a way that makes sense to do it since the game comes out months after Live. Logistically it is tough because of that. And the number of people who would wait to start a Live dynasty until well after MM is released is slim. The other option is to take MM into the following Live (so MM 08 would go into Live 09). But again logistically it is difficult in that scenario because Live would be coming out 9-10 months later and who would bother at that point?

    They’re aware though that people want that, so I think they’ll figure something out within the next year or two.
