The option is still there tho. Better to have to choose whether or not you want to spend the money on another system than to have no other game available at all.

In this household, if that is even an option, I'm shown the door. The only option I have in that case, Is new gaming system/door.

Not a very suitable option.

Difficult to comment on if you are not in that situation.

I totally agree with the earlier post by pietasterp (can't believe I just typed that lol). Madden has become "diluted" and "over-homogenized). There has to be SOME REASON why madden people look at NBA 2k and The Show and STILL do not model their games after them. Maybe it's the competing forces of developers vs marketing vs the NFL who knows. All I know is after a year of development all we got was gameflow, strat pad, and a new announcer. What the heck was going on in those offices for an entire year??

Okay, then it's not an option for YOU; however, it is an option, and a reasonable one, for someone who currently doesn't own a PS3 or a 360, and they are in the process of deciding which one to purchase.

If you hit the lottery tomorrow, a couple hundred dollars wouldn't mean anything and you'd be enjoying The Show. If you wanted to play a current football game other than Madden, too bad.

Win the lottery, find a cure for cancer, strike oil in your backyard, and you're still not playing a current football game not named Madden whenever.

All I was pointing out to people that you just can't assume everyone has disposable income to throw around. No need to go to extremes. Different strokes for different folks.

Although I am not a fan of the Art style madden on wii ain't bad since it uses the old engine

Now many people can say that Madden has taken a EA Sports "NASCAR" Type turn, where the developers just got burned out releasing a game every year and only updating the rosters and race tracks.

Same thing here. The developers are releasing things to quickly. Take a year off, release a roster update every year and every two years a full game. What is so hard about that? It would save them money all while making the game more efficient. I see no problem with 'FREE' D.C.

While im not a Madden guy, I think that the company can do well with the game. Lets just hope competition comes back soon in the form of a former big football king.
