    Not true in any way. Most games go gold like 2 weeks before they are released. MS and Sony just test to make sure it doesn't break the console and meets their standards for Live and PSN.

      the difference is most companies don't announce anything until after the certs have been done and a few weeks before release.


      if Ea did it different this year, than thats that, but most games are wrapped or near wrapped up around 2 months before release.

        Not sure how I feel on this now, but if we see bugs like the turnover issue we had last year or something else that completely ruins the game, we may look back on this and wonder why nothing was done with this time. They may have a plan as well with the updates and such, so only time will tell I guess.

          Shipping with bugs and glitches, and in need of a patch.....

            nope.

            you pretty much summed up every game that has been made by any company.

              You expected a game to ship without any glitches? That will never happen. And while the game will get patch (or a few of them) nothing has been identified that makes the game in "need of a patch". So far it is only things that will improve the game.

              It is definitely curious though the announcement was made now, it doesn't make much sense to me for a number of reasons.

              Yeah exactly. But what this announcement is saying is that the game has gotten through certification already and is set to be mass produced. Either that, or they've now got a different definition of what going gold means.

              I'm attempting to get some form of clarification soon.

                Thinking about the whole situation that makes that most sense, cuz if you go gold 2 weeks prior then cert it would be uncertified on release

                  I sure hope those pics are old build because like stated before the cowboys logo is for sure to big. I could not tell about the saints logo but this does not look good to send out old build pics. Why not send out finial build pics????

                    When did Madden 08 go gold?

                    If it was later in the process, it still didn't help much since that game was shipped with a turnover issue that rendered it essentially unplayable. Pre-patch Madden 08 is a cautionary tale.

                            Just going by the videos and blogs. This year more than any other year we should all know the pros and cons of what we are buying. Knowing that I'm looking forward to it being an extremely bright year for Madden football.
