    Re: Madden NFL 09 Goes Gold

    Isn't this much to do about nothing. I mean all that has happened here is someone in marketing blew their wad a little early.

Every year we are teased, blown away by awesome videos and gimmicks IMO if the game is good it will speak for itself the fact they tell you they are hoping patches come out sooner than later should tell you they are more concerned with making shipping deadlines than putting out a good complete game that has been tested and approved by true football gamers.

        All my 2600-360 games that played perfectly would like to disagree.

          I really don't think there is any reason for concern here. But nothing can stop the conspiracy theories.

            I don't think Ian and others here have just hyped the game. Sure they have some but they've also told us the bad things too. Some of those things really bug some people but for the most part a lot of what they say is bad does not bother me too awful much. But I guess to each his own.

              This is very bad news, gone gold no beta for us to tell them of the bugs we find in the demo to fix BEFORE it goes gold. What are these guys thinking. For crying out loud EA wake up.

                  Wow! People are quick to criticize. Deeming the game basically unplayable or thinking its going to have major bugs in it just because its gone gold, apparently early?

                  This forum never ceases to amaze me.

                    yeah, if it had gone late or nearly late then people would have said it was because they were too busy trying to fix all the bugs, LOL!

                        Wow. This is a topic about nothing. Its not even meant for hype. It just means the game is complete and ready for testing and manufacturing.

                        Yet people still bash EA?

                        wtf. Someone said he plays a game with no bugs and glitches? woah. Now who's really drink the kool-aid.

                          What does drinking the Kool-Aid mean anyways? I'm sorry I may be a noob to these terms.

                            The saying "Do not drink the Kool-Aid" now commonly refers to the Jonestown tragedy, meaning "Do not trust any group you find to be a little on the kooky side," or "Whatever they tell you, do not believe it too strongly."Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly is famous for using the term in this manner.
                            Having "drunk the Kool-Aid" also refers to being a strong or fervent believer in a particular philosophy or mission -- wholeheartedly or blindly believing in its virtues.

                              After "I seen...", this is becoming the most over used phrase on OS.
