Is anyone worried about Madden now?

They already lost this customer. I have bought Madden & NCAA since 02. And last year was the last straw. So I'll just gamefly em. Send em back after I get bored/tired of them. And I'm glad I made this choice this year because NCAA 09 has been very disappointing to say the least.

I am more than worried about it. I am absolutely disgusted with the way the NCAA product turned out! I will not buy madden until there is a lot of positive feedback about the game or I rent it first. I am not going to blindly hand $60 over to EA anymore, they have to earn it.

Not worried, but with the major bugs in NCAA right now, I'm going to cancel my pre-order of Madden and wait a week or so to see what shakes out.

Im waiting to for a week and see how madden flies on here....$60 can buy me a drink and a nice massage..lol...we will see if EA puts out a good product for once on next gen...other than that Ill wait for NHL09 because I think that will be good(however they should have a season/play-off mode for god's sake).
I really hope for the sake of the footbal video game industry Madden is good however I don't see the benefit of greed and monopoly EA and the NFL showed and in general. They should have never allowed 1 company to buy rights to the whole league EA or 2k.
I can see me playing NFL2k9 right now...

Nope, no need to worry.

Thats a good post to read. Seems like everyone glossed over it..lol.
