Smart move on Madden's part. For those who think waiting until the end of August is bad, just remember Madden used to come out in November back in the Seaga Genesis/Super Nintendo days.

I like the move. It gives NCAA more time to get sales. It gives Madden to see the bugs and glitches in NCAA and fix them before they come out. Up-to-date rosters

I don't like it. I'd rather have my hands on the game before the start of the regular season.

Re: August 30 Will Be the New Release Date for Madden This Year and Beyond

I call BS. By the 2nd week of August, preseason is underway, fans are drafting their fantasy teams and everyone is starving for football that counts. Also, one of the reasons 2k5 was successful was because it released before Madden 05 and people like me chose to buy it to hold us over til Madden released.

The is another reason for the date change. It's looking like the NFL and NFLPA are going to play chicken with each other and won't sign until the regular season is truly threatened. Fans that are angry that the NFL hasn't signed a deal by the second week of August aren't going to be rushing out to buy NFL products like Madden. By waiting til the 30th, it gives more time for a deal to get done and EA wouldn't have to release to an open boycott of their game.

Keeping it from now on just continues to give the developers a full year to work on the game and we'll see if that actually holds true when it's time to release Madden 13.

Madden NFL 12 would be releasing on August 30 rather than August 13.

I like this move because it will help NCAA sell more I think and that's a great thing. Plus I always did think the two football games were released too close together. With that being said I'll still probably be keeping an eye out for an early copy of the game.
