ANYONE PREORDER YET??

[Rubio809]

Just curious how many out there preordered '17 this early and where from?

I have not yet but very tempted to....

I haven't yet because I'm in the UK. The largest video game chain doesn't even have it listed on their "coming games" page yet

Last year the store staff had to have a huddle to work out what game I was asking to reserve!

[HolyCrap]

I did via amazon

Waiting on Franchise info before making a decision.

how come you guys preorder games? Is it strictly for the bonuses?

Scarcity of UK copies. My local store might get a couple of copies, might get none! The NFL may be becoming more established in the UK, but Madden still lacks a solid foothold.

Pre-ordering video games these days is something you really only should do for two reasons:

1 - the game in question has a collector's edition you really want (ex. it comes with a statue or something that you decide you want)
2 - you want guaranteed access at midnight on launch day using a digital pre-order from the PS4 / XBOX One storefront

Not really much reason to pre-order any video game otherwise, the days of scarcity of a game at launch (in the United States, anyway) are long gone.

For Madden specifically, 1 doesn't apply AFAIK, but 2 obviously does. A third reason unique to Madden is if you play a lot of Ultimate Team, EA Sports typically bundles the pre-order with a bunch of MUT bonuses.

Hopefully that helps some of you.

I was going to wait until Franchise info was released but after hearing all the improvements they made to gameplay I decided to pre-order it.
