EA Sports World Top Highlight Reel
by 
EA Sports World is starting to materialize with some unique content, one feature just began on Friday and is definitely worth checking out. Each and every week the top 10 highlights will be chosen and presented in a similar fashion to what you would get on Sportscenter along with commentary from the Thompson Brothers. The first top 10 for Madden 09 can now be found on the main page of the site with the other titles that have the video uploading feature getting top 10s of their own in the near future.
A positive development for EASW is that they have retained some of the talent that made EA Gameshow entertaining in Rob and Jason aka the Thompson Brothers and Nate Lundy. That is going to lead to features such as we’re seeing with the top highlight rundown and much more to come.
One thing that made Gameshow intriguing was the connection that was made with the community of players. It looks some of those ideals are shifting to what is being done with EASW as they’re now offering the chance to be recognized through your highlights which is pretty neat.
What are your thoughts on this week’s top 10? The #1 highlight must have been played on a low difficulty but still I wouldn’t have expected to see that.

Some of those plays were good(only 3) but a lot of them suck. I mean what is so amazing about Russell throwing to a wide open D-MAC for a td?Or a routine safety?I mean not to sound bias but I have a lot better players then that.

That Russell to McFadden play is mine and I didnt even think that should make the top 10. I had a couple of other vids up there that I thought were way better.

Oh my god that was the most cheesiest and most unrealistic run I have ever seen;but I loved the corner blitz for a safety.

lol half of those were on All-Pro
that’s kind of pathetic
BUT at least EA is doing something with the site

I’ve had better plays just playing against my friends
August 30, 2008 at 11:04 am
I thought It was well done.
On a side note is everyone’s record on ESW all jacked up?

I concur that the Russell pass to Mcfadden was uber lame and did not merit being in the top ten. I also co-sign the above statements about many of us having witnessed far superior plays while playing madden both online and with friends. However, if we leave the uploading to the unskilled madden players who happen to be computer geeks, then we will see turd. So it’s up to the hard core Madden heads to upload their videos to the site so that its full potential can be realized. Hopefully the site will compensate for the lack of weekly franchise recaps that were seen FOUR years ago on NFL 2K5 EA! So let me comprehend EA; you make a feature such as EA sports world that could have easily been incorporated in Madden 09, only to have your sheep like fan base resigned to the possiblity of next year. VC needs to make another ALL PRO FOOTBALL 2K8 and save us from the joke simulation known as madden.

Yea I miss those days where there was open competition between football games… thats when they were the best, but those days are likely over seeing as how the NFL turned there lisence into a bidding war and EA does what they do best, and thats throw money at everything to take away the competition

The Eli run was with edited Stats…..
August 30, 2008 at 12:39 pm
very cool…only thing is, im pretty sure those videos got selected for the countdown only based off of views…now if they select plays that really are deserving to be on the countodown it would be great…but im pretty sure that won’t happen because there are so many videos

Was that Brandon Jacobs wearing Eli Manning’s jersey glitch #1?
Russell to a wide open McFadden was solid fundamental quarterbacking….nice decision on the check down…lol..
August 30, 2008 at 3:14 pm
that #1 play was a joke. Eli throwing down a LB or DB with his left arm. while Eli was doing that, the nearest defender just dives at nothing. and did anyone see the warp speed the receiver went into to catch the ball at #8?
August 30, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Yeah I agree they could do a better job with the play selection. Maybe there should be a way that the community nominates some of the better videos, or at least finds a way to put some of the better ones in front of whoever is selecting them.
August 30, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Theres thousands of videos on Easw.
Its still a pretty good concept though.
Eli run was good.

#1 shouldve been the Bills one where McKelvin intercepted a pass, pitched it to Greer and Greer broke a tackle and then fumbled, McKelvin recovered it and returned it for a TD.

Pretty much all of the top 10 plays sucked. But the one Antonio described sounds awesome. It is like this one I submitted for next weeks top 10 only mine has injuries and a hurdle http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/230450

I’ve tried 4 times to connect my gamertag to my EA SW account. Each time it says it’s already connected but my EASW site is still empty. I can’t even find any email address to find someone to look into it. Any thoughts, ideas?

They need to bring in Mike Bower, E, and Chris cause to do these highlights too.

Although the plays weren’t jaw dropping the package is pretty sweet…
