There are also user vs user late 4th quarter videos as I attempt to make a comeback as the Texans against the Vikings and Jerkfacefave attempts a comeback late as the Titans against the Panthers in a defensive battle. Tonight I'll add in some more videos against the CPU as we...

Teams That Benefit Most From Adding Vick
As most everyone is surely aware by now, Michael Vick has been granted a conditional reinstatement to the NFL. Vick is allowed to take part in all practices, team meetings and workouts as well as play in the final two preseason games. However it may not be until week six that final clearance comes from Roger Goodell for Vick to play in a regular season game. As Vick has immediately become a free agent expect him to be in the release day roster update for Madden 10 regardless of whether he...

Fight Night has proven one of the few sports franchises that has mainstream appeal. Fight Night Round 3 represented the second strongest franchise in US sales for EA Sports behind only Madden. After taking a few years off Fight Night Round 4 came out last month though it was difficult to judge the buzz around the game. Discussion online primarily centered around the controversial decision to remove the optional button control scheme and UFC 2009 Undisputed had released to high praise. We ...

NCAA Basketball 10 Top Cover Candidates
The cover athlete for NCAA Basketball 10 is set to be announced on Tuesday June 23rd, just one day before the NBA Draft. Last year EA clearly didn't put much importance into their cover, likely because there was no need to once 2K dropped out as competition. The selection was Kevin Love making for one of the most boring and uninspired cover choices in recent years. This year there are a handful of names that could make sense as the potential cover athletes. Continue on to check out the to...

E3: Backbreaker Preview
Originally announced back in August of 2007 Backbreaker wowed with early displays of its tackling engine known as Euphoria. Since then it has pretty much been in hibernation. Now though the game appears to be gearing up and intends to prove that it is still around to make an impact. While at E3 I had the chance to sit down with Rob Donald and Torstein Reil of Backbreaker for a look at the game and to talk about some of the thinking behind it. The meeting actually went for nearly an hour a...
