Thread should be burned.

Fuck Madden in the ass. Every year they claim to have something new added and it still feels like the same old shit. The slow down is what really turns me off cause last year itself already felt a bit slower.

Already got NCAA this year anyway so no need to go get this as well.

[Kenshiin]

Just saw a commercial tonight for a free copy of Madden 10 with a years subscription to Sports Illustrated for $50.

Thread should be burned.

This isn't criticism, this is you getting mad at people for liking videogames.

[Headspace]

I bought 09, won't be getting 10.

Too much of the same, game needs an overhaul.

Clearly what is needed is a new story where you have to save the world from the evil empire. That's how you make a sequel. Playing football is boring.

Don't say things like that, BRP! NFL Blitz and Tecmo. <3

$60 for new rosters

[Dmitry]

Where are you guys getting Madden already?

[Arnwulf]

I wonder what kind of DLC there's going to be seeing the idiotic DLC for NCAA this year.

[Mizango]

$60 for new rosters

You can say that about every game. You like RPGs? Here we will change the character names but you can keep the same homo androgynous hero models, save the world, find weapons etc.. Rinse and repeat.

Seriously if that's all you got then you've contributed nothing and are merely here to +1.

[Kurokikaze]

A lot of that stuff seems like updates to the game that they could've added as DLC.. And I'm not just trying to say that to bash Madden/EA. :/
