I too will be sitting out on anymore Madden releases as this one has been the straw that has broken the camels back. I have went to midnight releases for years now, and taken days off to play it after release. It really is a shame!!! Madden and The Show have always been the two titles I have chomped at the bit to get, and to get early if possible as long as it didn't cost way to much. Sucks to even type this, but it is what it is.
