The Line Drive

A lot of people are curious when the first info on NCAA Basketball 09 will be out. News should be coming in the near future though I don’t know exactly when that might be. There is a community event tentatively scheduled for early September.

Right now there is nothing to report on Madden 09′s online play being improved especially regarding the disconnect issues so many are experiencing.

Word on what will be included in the second patch for Madden 09 may come as early as this week.

Could EA have purchased Euphoria, the tech behind Backbreaker? This report is hardly definitive but it is a possibility.

IGN has four new gameplay videos showing off NBA Live 09.

IGN also has the first hands-on preview of NBA 2K9. You can check out a teaser trailer for the game here. There is also the opportunity to take part in Q&A on the game at Operation Sports.

League Gaming has a look at the online leagues for NHL 2K9. There are a lot of improvements and probably shows what will be coming for NBA 2K9′s leagues as well. This setup definitely puts the “league” attempts by EA to date to shame.

Pasta,

Have EA laid out plans regarding Madden roster updates this year? Weekly? Fortnightly? Monthly?

I assume it won’t be too frequent until pre-season is over but any clues from Week 1 on?

If you are on the 360, once the game loads it will inform you of an available download. All you have to do is accept and it will download the patch for you.

The same goes for the PS3. It is automatic unless you choose not to install it.

It’s a tough call, ultimately I think some people will be more comfortable with one over the other. Gameplay is going to be subjective, so I can’t say one or the other is better.
