Electronic Arts announced that new in-game content is available to download for its basketball videogame that is available in stores now -- NCAA March Madness 07.
The new content has been developed exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace now.
For the first time ever, EA has created a Selection Sunday Bracket Pack that will feature a downloadable 65-team NCAA Tournament bracket, allowing Xbox 360 users to update NCAA March Madness 07 with the just-announced official Selection Sunday brackets, accurate seedings and updated team ratings. Fans can authentically replicate the entire NCAA Tournament and play through the 'virtual bracket' with their favorite team under the same conditions they'll face throughout March Madness. In addition, the Selection Sunday Bracket Pack will include the authentic Final Four court from the Georgia Dome, where one team will be crowned NCAA Division I men's basketball national champion on April 2.
In the new ratings developed for the NCAA March Madness 07 Selection Sunday Bracket Pack, the four No. 1 seeded teams in the tournament are defending champion University of Florida, University of North Carolina, University of Kansas, and The Ohio State University, as determined by the NCAA selection committee. However, according to a computerized simulation using the new team ratings and seedings, EA Sports predicts the Final Four teams will be the University of Florida and Pittsburgh University in one semifinal and the University of North Carolina against Texas A&M University in the other semifinal.
EA noted that users can go to marchmadness07.com to view more info about the Selection Sunday Bracket Pack that is available now on Xbox Live Marketplace, see the results of the EA Sports NCAA Tournament simulation, and download a printable bracket to track all the tournament action.
NCAA March Madness 07 was developed at EA Canada in Vancouver, B.C. The game is rated 'E' (Everyone) by the ESRB.
