EA specializes in sports games, and this apprently has led the company to come up with this clever little idea: ofering a real-world, 3-D version of their games. 

Seems pretty dope if if you consider things like balls to be cutting edge.

EA announced the deal with a company called Toy Island last week (how did I just find this out now?) and promises it will “bring the excitement of video game simulation outside onto the fields of play” with items like a “a line of sports toys that will utilize electronics to reward young athletes with cheers when they use proper techniques.”

So basically it’s a ball with a little electronic coach and a crowd to pat you on the butt after you make a smooth play.

So what do you think, is this a good move by EA or are they out of their league on this one? Would you have liked this when you were a kid or would you buy it for your kids now?

Lemme know!!!!!!

EA Canada’s new boxing concept, FaceBreaker, lets you upload any photo of yourself (or most hated rival!!) and kick the living sh*t outta them!! Looks like it’s lightning flash, and I already have photos of my most wanted that I use for target practice, so why not? Let’s hope for an online mode – did I hear “virtual fight club?” Word…..check the video below:

So…on the official Madden 09 website there is an image of Brett Favre in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform. The image was only up for a while and has been replaced by the one of Braylon Edwards that has been there forever.

I doubt EA has inside information on Favre and where he’s going (that’s for the Mort Report) but it does show EA is prepared to put Favre in no matter where he ends up. And you know a special cover will be in the works the second he moves teams!! Stay tuned!
