The Nascar Paint Booth contest is being extended by another week as I’m currently unable to display the created skins. So continue to send in your pastapadre.com car designs to pastapadrecontest@gmail.com for a chance to win a $30 Amazon gift card. Read up on the full details of the contest here.

IGN has posted up a video from NCAA Football 09 Campus Legend mode as a running back which you can check out here. Unfortunately they don’t go into detail on whatever improvements have been made to the mode. However from what I’ve played of Campus Legend and Superstar modes the better one will again be Campus Legend.

I’ve added a new video from the NCAA Football 09 demo in the forum thread. This one is a first half which has a couple exciting plays. The previous full game video with an exciting ending can also be found in that thread.

A couple previews have come out for the Wii versions of Tiger Woods 09 and NBA Live 09 from IGN. As with NCAA and Madden these two continue with the “All Play” options and style. Interestingly the WNBA is mentioned in the Live article. Considering the Wii’s graphics that is not going to be pretty.

A few songs are now confirmed to be on the Madden 09 soundtrack. Shinedown with “Devour”, Rev Theory with “Hell Yeah”, and The Offspring with “Hammerhead”.

I’m not sure if there is any way to actually judge if it makes a difference or not. If something that seems to support it working happens it could just be a coincidence. I guess we’ll just have to trust it has an effect.

I’m not sure on that, each one I tried with a player that will likely be a starter anyway.

Will there be CPU vs. CPU in NCAA Football 09? Also will they fix the issue of the QB sliding left or right while under center before the ball is snapped?

Can we please see another team other than Ohio State? How come in almost every video they’re featuring Ohio State? It would be nice to see how other stadiums look with the new lighting system. I wish they would show a video of Notre Dame or Michigan.

Yo pasta!

I thought the “Rev Theory” song was going to be “Light it up” because they wouldn’t use the work “hell” in their games …. any word on the hip-hop trax in the game??

Hey I just thought I’d let you know that another song in the game is “inside the fire” by Disturbed, I saw it on a screenshot of the game.
