Go to their homes, create a bond and trust. Demonstrate to them the benefits of their vacuum cleaner over all other brands. Sell them the dream!!! And guess what, they sell a massive amount of vacuum cleaners by doing so. The real deal is their vacuum cleaner is no better than the top dollar vacuum cleaner at Walmart. The Marketing/advertising difference is the bond/trust created by the sales rep in your home. Max your sales effort, use the forums (similar to our home), the rest is history.

Nice story, but I don't really feel the forums make a major dent into Madden sales.

well i took a different view from reading it. it seemed to me like he bashed the game more than praising it. i still expect a good game this year though. everyone has their own opinions on games. just go check out the fight night round 4 boards for an example lool

SUPER HAPY to hear about the updated presentation stuff, this is exactly how 2k sports did things and its what madden has needed all along, can't wait...hopefully they blow us away with even more stuff about presentation that just what they talked about in this blog...I'm hoping for amazing halftime highlight shows and amazing graphics on all the cut scenes...gonna be awesome!!!

There is no "elite" 8. Only 8 guys lucky enough to get the call to go.
I was one of the 8. I don't feel elite in any way shape or form.
I am absolutely sure that there are many, many of you guys who were more qualified to go than I was.

honestly not a big deal. i dont see why these guys are making such a big deal...no such thing as being qualified. 8 random madden gamers picked to test out an alpha version of m10...theyre only there to help make the game better for us. anyways, we get the game in about 3 months, just hold your dam horses...

Agree! I hope Ian really takes this into consideration.. The Pressure really makes the game feel more intense and real, just like the NFL.
