Lange also outlined EA's rapid timetable for bringing of the Xbox Live format. In July, NCAA Football 2005 will be playable on Xbox Live, with the 800-pound gorilla of online sports games, Madden NFL 2005, joining the service in August. NBA Live 2005, FIFA Soccer 2005, NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 will follow soon thereafter. When asked by GameSpot, Microsoft officials could not confirm whether NHL 2005 would be Xbox Live-enabled.

By the end of the year, 15 of EA's online-enabled console titles will be playable on Xbox Live, and the selection will extend beyond EA's sports franchises. Burnout 3 and TimeSplitters Future Perfect will also be Xbox Live-compatible, as will two even bigger franchises, Need for Speed Underground 2 and a new, previously unannounced Xbox version of Battlefield: Modern Combat.

Someone better damn well be Army or someone of that caliber, so I at least have a chance to win a game.

Intresting tidbit... Ea's new Xbox live section shows that all the Xbox Sports games will be on XBL. Including NHL & March Madness (click on the MM 2005 link for the first screens of the game).

Hell, I might get NCAA this year even though I'm not a big fan of college pigskin. You guys say it's awesome, I trust you, and I want to take my Syracuse Orangemen to new heights of mediocrity while playing against you.

Take care,
PK

Mizzou for me.

Sweet news. Battlefield should be awesome on XBL too.

Brando,

You like the Cubbies, I like the Cards. You like Mizzou, I like Kansas. We couldn't be further opposites. In any case, I'll take my up start KU Jayhawks......hey, they could beat 30% of the division IIA teams.
