Teambuilder and Season Showdown Preview
The EA Sports Season Opener Preview last week afforded the opportunity to check out two big feature additions to NCAA Football 10. Teambuilder takes the simple create-a-school mode to a whole new level while Season Showdown presents an online integrated competition to represent the college of your choice. Continue on to read a preview of both Teambuilder and Season Showdown. Included are two video interviews with NCAA Football 10 designer Ben Haumiller as he runs through what to expect fr...

EA Sports Season Opener Overview
Coming out of the EA Sports Season Opener event I wanted to drop a few thoughts on some of the games that were on display. I won't have full extensive write-ups on them but from my interaction with them will now have additional insight leading up to their releases. I also had the opportunity to interview Peter Moore which I'll be discussing in the near future. Check out the screenshot gallery for the latest images from these games. Tiger Woods 10 Outside of Fight Night I'd say this was t...

The Show Community Preview Report #2
Another long day with MLB 09 The Show is complete. This time around my time was split between exhibition games, Road To The Show, practice drills, and grabbing screenshots and some video highlights. I'm not sure when I'll have those screens and clips back from SCEA but I'm hopeful that will happen by the end of the weekend. Out of those things about all I can discuss right now is the gameplay. The others will have to wait for another day. If you missed the first report from the event make...

The Show Community Preview Report #1
After about five hours with the game today and more than that to come tomorrow there will be plenty to discuss about MLB 09 The Show. I wanted to get some initial thoughts up now and follow that up with one that will probably be more extensive tomorrow night. First, there are some restrictions to what I am able to talk about. Those basically amount to the topics that are slated for coverage in the upcoming weekly Playstation Blog postings. I'll be able to go over those areas a day after t...

Off To See MLB 09 The Show
I'm heading out now to begin the relatively short trip down the coast to San Diego for the MLB 09 The Show Community Preview Event at SCEA. The current plan is to get a handful of hours in with the game today and then spend the majority of tomorrow playing as well. As of now I'm still somewhat uncertain of what I'll be able to do at the event. If the circumstances present themselves I'll do a running live blog from the studio for a short period of time such as I did while at the NCAA Foot...

NBA Live 09 Hands-On Report
The increased shift towards community involvement and interaction have paid dividends for several of the upcoming EA Sports titles. The first real development towards this was with the early community event for NBA Live last year. After proving to be a success it has led to events around games such as NCAA Football, Madden, and NHL where feedback could be taken early enough to be considered and acted upon. Now for a second straight year the NBA Live 09 community event offered the same opportun...

Football Community Event 09 Info Hub
I decided to compile as much of the content as I could find coming out of the community event last week that covered Madden 09, NCAA Football 09, and NFL Head Coach 09. I will continue adding to the list as they come in. Continue on to find links to the content here as well as other community sites in attendance. (more...)...

More Football Community Event Videos
I went through and pulled out some of the better clips that I had taken over the two days with Madden 09, NFL Head Coach 09, and NCAA Football 09. With Madden there is a lengthy superstar mode one which displays from the perspective of a RB, QB, CB, and DE, along with a few gameplay sequences. Head Coach has a short gameplay clip, a lengthy one displaying the play creator (which you can actually put together plays much faster than I show in that), and one that flips through all of the NFL's co...
