Console exclusivity is one thing. Some titles just have to be on certain consoles that others can't handle. (Although with MGS coming to X1 now, Kojima is proving that wrong). BUT for games that are multi console, (i.e. Madden) they should NOT be exclusive to ONE developer. (Heck, even CoD went to 3 different devs for their games, Yes I understand so it allows a 3 year cycle), but for a sports game, a lack of competition only hinders the process. (Look at FIFA, it's the best because it has PES pushing it). Madden NEEDS 2k to get back into the NFL business to make it better. (Too bad Roger Goodell doesn't understand that).

I dont think that has anything to do with it. EA Access covers more than just Madden.

True. BUT when it comes to Madden, X1 will get it first. That's the main point I was trying to convey.

so you can just pay 4.99 for the month of Aug. and play madden early for the 5 days.

so $1 a day for Madden early??? I'll take it!

Yes, it looks like 4.99 a month, BUT watch they dont have a clause where it's a 6 month or 12 month commitment type thing.

This is good for me. I have been away from football games for quite a few years but have the itch to play again. I don't have a new generation system yet because I have been playing games on PC. This will allow impressions and videos to be posted so I can see if this is worth buying a PS4 for.

On a slightly related topic: When I was hanging around here in the past there was always some dude who would put together a thread with all the pre-release Madden videos on it. Is he still around? Where are all the videos? Seems like there used to be tons after E3, yet I don't see any.
