    Kotaku did an interview with EA regarding the team names that were recorded by the announcers in NCAA Football 10 for use with Teambuilder and the process involved. Joystiq has the news that Tecmo Bowl Throwback will be arriving as a downloadable title for the 360 and PS3. Based on the SNES version of Tecmo Super Bowl it will have updated graphics and sound effects but will keep the original plays, teams, and presumably players from the original. Destructoid has a comprehensiv...

    There has been much discussion over the lawsuits filed against the NCAA and EA regarding player likenesses in collegiate games. ESPN recently had an Outside the Lines piece on the lawsuits which you can watch here. The second patch for NBA 2K10 will be released on Monday for the PS3. No word on when it will arrive for the 360. One encouraging thing discovered about Madden Ultimate Team is that updates can be made to it very easily. Such is the case as some adjustments have alr...

    At the VGAs on Saturday night it was NHL 10 taking the "Best Team Sports Game" and UFC 2009 Undisputed taking "Best Individual Sports Game". That represents the second straight win for NHL and a win for UFC in its debut year. With UFC 2010 Undisputed releasing on May 25th I would expect EA Sports MMA to take advantage of that and release first. Early April would be a comfortable landing spot. Rarely do I come across an article as ridiculous as this one. Amusing read just for h...

    Madden Arcade topped the sales charts for the week of 11/23 on Xbox Live Arcade. That is an encouraging sign especially given its relatively high price for an arcade offering and that it was only out for five of the seven days. If it stays up near the top of the charts through December that would indicate significant success and likelihood that downloadable arcade style games would continue and expand in 2010. Madden Arcade will be receiving another roster update. When that will hap...

    ESPN has a detailed early preview of EA MMA that is worth checking out. The use of Photo Game Face and the importance of the international aspect of MMA are just a few of the things discussed. The free-to-play PC game Quick Hit Football has signed four additional coaches. Jerry Glanville, Herm Edwards, Marv Levy, and Marty Schottenheimer join the five others, handful of current NFL players, and numerous legendary players already associated with the game. Though Backbreaker has...

    EA Sports has announced the details of another patch for Fight Night Round 4. A full listing of changes to the game that will come with the patch can be found here. The 360 achievements for NCAA Basketball 10 are out. Sadly they are the exact same as last year minus one achievement that has been removed. Just over a week before the release of NCAA Basketball 10 and still nothing detailing the "dynamic updates" that appeared in the feature list and were inexplicably missing fro...

    The first look at EA MMA will come during the November 7th Strikeforce event on CBS. The game will be used to preview each fight before they begin. The original first screenshot for EA MMA, which was first found and scanned from Sports Illustrated, can now be found in the screenshot gallery. While I generally don't cover WWE games it is worth noting that the license has run out for THQ and the period to extend it has now been pushed back to the end of the year. Presumably WWE ...

    EA Sports and the Brees Dream Foundation are now offering pink and black Drew Brees jerseys for the avatars on Playstation Home. The jerseys are sold for $2 with all proceeds going to the foundation which supports breast cancer awareness. The jerseys will be available until November 11th. NBA Live 10 is coming to the iPhone later this month. After the success of Madden 10 on the iPhone it'll be interesting to see if a basketball game can translate as well to the platform. I ha...
