NCAA Football 08 gets a patch of its own
While the upcoming patch for Madden has been looming for a while, there wasn't much expectation that NCAA Football 08 would receive one as well. Despite that one was released just recently (under the radar) for the PS3 and seems likely to be out for the 360 in the near future. I am hoping to get word on the status of the 360 patch soon. **See update below the summary for the latest news.** Unfortunately some of the major issues such as the depth chart button lag were not dealt with, howev...

In the case of NCAA much of the recruiting aspect is seen as overwhelming to fans of the game. The hardcore Dynasty mo...

SuperSim your way to achievement points
Running SuperSim will credit you for any Xbox 360 achievements gained in Madden 08 and NCAA Football 08. You don't even have to play a single down to get many of them. I went into Play Now and set a game to 15 minute quarters. Immediately I turned on SuperSim to take me to the end of the game. I got 14 achievements for Madden and 4 for NCAA in my first attempt! That is 215 gamer points for Madden in those couple minutes while I had my back turned to the game! By setting up the Su...

Highlight clip contest winner
Congrats to the winner of the NCAA Football 08 highlight clip contest. Clip #2 came through in a narrow victory over #1. The Penn State INT to forced fumble to return for TD was unique enough to beat out the great Miami TD run. He'll have the choice between NBA Street: Homecourt on the PS3 or Def Jam: Icon on the 360. Check back to the site in the near future for another contest! ...

Reviewers don’t actually bother with online play
I've stated this before in write-ups, but media site reviewers don't bother to fully evaluate the online modes of sports titles. Whether it be due to having to push out reviews before the game actually releases or just a lack of caring about it, clearly it is the one area that is routinely ignored for sports games. Issues such as the distance based lag in EA Sports titles and the broken leagues in 2K titles never have been mentioned in the past. Some games may even end up with noth...
