First time since 2k5 that we've seen a depressed launch price for a AAA sports release?

I can't think of another.

Troublesome news.

This is a sales promo price by Target.

The retail price of the game is still $59.99.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the "human IK engine," and what does it affect?

I couldn't help myself. I preordered it. I figure I can always cancel it later.

The OS community will be pretty happy about the news of an "overhauled franchise mode".
