well last yr was 7 hours but if PGA was 10 hours then you maybe right

I preordered it from Amazon for the discount, which likely means I won't get it until 6pm on release day anyway. But, even if I could get it earlier in the day, I wouldn't be taking off of anything to play it on release day.

LOL watch out wife going shopping might be more expensive than using that sick day

Translation, your unpatched copy of Madden is going to set you back $600.

Madden ain't that serious. If you call off work for what they've been putting out lately then you need to reassess your personal priorities. Companies have to have proven quality backrounds for the day off routine like a Bethesda or The Show.

For me 6 hours playing a video game on the weekend would be like a mini vacation. I am lucky if the wife lets me play 2 hours a day lol.

Well I haven't had a vacation day to date, so for me I am taking time to enjoy my Steelers in virtual football.Being a Browns fan I understand your view point though.

^ this...

Some of us get paid on vacation days and are not losing money in taking the day to whoop up on the lower-tier teams such as the Brownies

In all seriousness though.. this is a personal decision and there is no need for people to undermine others for determining how they like to spend their Maddenoliday
