Buy or no? Why?

I'm still on the fence. I'm intrigued by the gameplay improvements, but I definitely need to see some improvements to CFM if I'm going to buy it this year.

So I pose the question - Are you planning on buying it? Why or why not...

Buying, less than 20 bucks on this end.

Yeah man. Best Buy makes this such an easy decision. $60 would be a choice but $35 is no big deal to have the updated game.

I'm pretty sure with the BB deal, it all adds up to 23.80 with the straight trade-in. Don't forget the 20% discount you receive on new games. 20% discount = about 48 bucks -25 bucks= 23.80.

I know I'm trading in another game to make it under 20 bucks total

Buying. I loved 16, I loved 17, I expect to love 18 too. It's an easy decision.

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

I was reluctant to buy it but the best buy deal was too good to pass up

If your a regular here then you already know there are no big CFM improvements for 18. Primary changes went into Longshot, gameplay, and a basketball game. So if CFM is a deal breaker then skip it.

However, if you can get it a good price then it might be worth it. Personally, I had some best buy bucks and paid about $11 out of pocket on a preorder. The roughly $25 trade in deal seems a good a value as well.

Re: Buy or no? Why?

I'm on the fence as well. A week or so ago, I was definitely leaning towards buying day 1. But recently my hype for game has diminished. Where 2K and Live has took my attention away from Madden. I only buy games digital so I cant take advantage of the deal. For me, i don't like Madden marketing strategy. This isn't really the time to be quiet when 2k and Live are starting to ramp it up.

For me, what hurts Madden is that NFL is a short season compared to NBA and MLB, just over 5 months (Not counting pre-season) to 8 months. So I wouldn't but Madden after Black Friday because it wouldn't be worth it to play it for just 2 months. But what helps Madden for me, I don't plan on buying 2k until Black Friday(not because deal, but for rosters and patches). So I will need something to hold me over
