this is why games only being digital downloads is not gonna happen no time soon.

Counting down the percentages till your disappointment.... I can't wait to see the comments about the actual gameplay. Good luck!!! I'm relying on you guys to give your honest opinions on what has been years and years of recycled crap.

Any way to get just the season pass without having to buy the Microsoft points? I don't see the option anywhere.

Wish I saw this earlier mine got cut off and I had to start over. Downloading in background now

Oh, ok. Never heard of that. It's chugging along. 77%, now :|

I expect it to be the same ol same ol Madden. 99.9% sure of that after playing the demo. But hey, there goes your 0.1% of optimism that I'm leaving in the gaming communities opinion.

94%. I'll be posting a review later tomorrow morning Let's go! MADDEN 13!

Back on topic...I thought about going with a wired connection for the DL, but then i'd be bored out of my mind. oh well, 30%.

bcruise: I usually only background DL stuff that i don't really care about. I always thought it would make it dl slower (but hindsight has me thinking it's just because my ps3 is usually just an expensive netflix player this time of year). I'll have to do it more consistently, thanks for the tip.
Lol @ NHL. NHL 13 will be my FIRST purchase of an NHL since the PS1. That demo is NOICE! Love the new skating engine. Now if they can only use it as a bases for Madden 14's player movement with the weight, momentum, inertia and all. Hmmm.. U think they're already working on that?? I wanna believe so, personally...

As for ur PS3 usage - Sheesh. I have a few ppl in my friends list that seem to mostly use theirs for Netflix, too. Lol. Not me, tho. My GPU is jacked from my gaming usage. Polygon spiking. No bueno....

85%!!...86!! Lol

The demo wasn't same old madden at all. I have no idea what you were playing.
