How will you approach Madden this year?

[Bulldogs78]

I been very disappointed the last 3 years of this game. Maybe I was expecting too much out of it. But I think this year instead of putting it on reserve as usual and waiting for the midnight release, I think I'll hold off until ALL the REVIEWS, especially ones from users.

I just hope that they stop focusing on the online aspect of the game and focus where it was the biggest selling point, it's franchise. Here's to hoping Madden 2010 becomes a legitimate game.

Word. I'm going to pick it up at the midnight release at my Gamestop, break out the Captain and Patron, and cross my fingers.

Im going to rent it from gamefly, like i have done the last 3 yrs , and if the game rocks Ill buy it asap, if it doesnt then Ill just send it right back to gamefly, Hmmm like I did the last 3 yrs lol.

I'm actually adding several layers of security this season... I will:

1. Play the demo a lot (hopefully it's released before launch)

2. If I like the demo I will play someone else's for a while

3. If I still like it after that I will rent it.

4. If after all of that I still like the game, I'll buy it.
