To answer the question in the thread title, the only thing that would prevent me from purchasing Madden 19 is if the NFL cancelled the 2018 season. EA has it planned to perfection: the combination of the NFL Preseason hype, fantasy football draft(s), and the fact that this is the only NFL game on the market creates a perfect storm for gamers like myself to forgive & forget about the stale nature of their football offering. To me, it'd be much better if they released Madden a few weeks earlier than their usual late-August release. I typically play Madden religiously upon its release for a good two weeks, which coincides with Week 1 of the regular season. Once the season begins and I start watching the real NFL, I realize that the game does a poor job of replicating what is actually being played on Sundays.

I guess sports gaming (and sports in general) is my vice. Oh well
