Still undecided about buying M11

I hear a lot of people complaining about the lack of features\improvements to the game but that actually doesn't bother me. To be honest, as long as Madden 11 is a slightly tweaked and improved game over Madden 10 I would be happy with that since I liked Madden 10. I don't care that much about new features, I am only interested in a football game that plays well on the field.

I think a big part as to why I am undecided at this point is because NCAA Football 11 really looks good this year and I will probably be buying it. With that said, I just don't know if I have enough time to play them both on a regular basis. On top of that, I don't know how different they will be and will it be difficult switching back and forth between the two if they play completely different from each other.

I will say that the trade in offer gamestop is having on Madden 11 sure is making it hard for me not to buy. I can trade in two games that I don't even play any more and aren't worth that much on trade in, and get $40 off of Madden 11. With tax that means Madden will only cost me a mere $23 which almost seems too good to pass up.

Decisions, decisions......

Re: Still undecided about buying M11

that is a good deal for sure , but game stop is the anti christ of stores
they give you nothing and sell your games for almost full value.

but i think i would do the deal madden for 23 bucks just remember the game is worth squat if you want to trade it on once you activate the downloads wich i am 100 percent sure there will be some kind of weird update at release that people will go omg i got to update then that makes the game yours with absolutle no resale value.

I was going to trade in Little Big Planet GOTY and God of War 3 to get the $40 off of Madden. To be honest, without this deal I wouldn't get anywhere close to $40 trade in for those two games just trading them in normally. I'm done with those games anyway and all they are doing is collecting dust, I have no desire to play them any more.

I realize with the new activation code thing it will be almost worthless if I ever wanted to trade it in. However, if I do in fact do this trade in deal therefore Madden 11 would only cost me $23 in cash, it wouldn't be a big deal to keep it forever at that price.

Screw Gamestop, they will never get my games. I use craigslist and get double what Gamestop would give me.

Re: Still undecided about buying M11

Regardless of gamestop, craigslist or wherever that's the small part as far as I am concerned. The big thing for me is do I have enough tiime to get the most out of both NCAA and Madden if I buy them both, and will switching back and forth between the two give me problems if they are too different from each other as far as controls, gameplay, etc.

I guess I am trying to decide if I really need two football games. Probably not, but I am a huge football fan.

NEVER use gamestop to trade in games -- they totally rape gamers (even worse than EA & Activision do).

Simply use Craigslist or Ebay.

Also, try taking advantage of blockbuster before purchasing a game brand new / retail. I've saved hundreds of dollars over the years renting games first playing a season/online games, getting tired of the game, and being able to simply return it.

3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.
