Who here is actually getting Madden? Why or why not?

I'm getting Madden because the game looks good.. lmao. But honestly, I'm getting it because EA didn't go insane and strip all the KEY features such as the Franchise. BIG relief there.. I can't believe they did that to NBA Live.. Totally ruined the whole series IMHO. But Madden still has the core features to keep you coming back to play more, the Franchise and solid Online play, plus the updated graphics/rosters/player ratings keep the game looking and feeling next-gen..

If you need any special persuasion just go and read the reviews.. they are pretty good, usually in the 8 - 8.5 range out of 10.

yep..i was looking at the madden ratings recently and most gave it a 8.5 outa 10...so the game looks good

it's getting slammed on all the reveiws i have read like ign and gamespot they took out a lot of things but the graphics are amazing so I don't know

Part of the reason the game is getting slammed is the fact EA owns the NFL rights and the ESPN rights. This was the center stone of 2K NFL the past few years. I am getting it and think they did not strip it down they are just finding reasons to gripe. I am not thrilled that the NFL did a deal like this but man if I was offered the rights I would buy them as well.
The game looks great on the 360 I agree and will have a full review up this week.

If NFL didn't make the deal it would have been great to see some competition.

thats true...i like the ESPN games alot..and they were 30 dollars cheaper..which was also a total plus...shame EA was getting scared...and had to buy the rights

They where approached by the NFL and not scared if they approached me and I had the money I would have bouth the rights too smart move.
I enjoyed the ESPN games as well but everyone thinks EA went and did something sneaky they made a smart move I still don't agree with it but it's also not foar to diss them for buying something that would give them the edge.

I still think it lies more with the fact that since EA has exclusive rights, they need to take it up a notch and create the best game they can. However, they still haven't done so. No competition is a bad thing and since we're stuck with one NFL game for the next few years, we only have the choice to buy Madden or no NFL football at all. If EA would take it upon themselves to create a good football game, then I wouldn't have a problem with them having the license. Judging from Madden 360 though, they're gonna try to get away with the bare minimums. Sure, the graphics are beautiful this year (which is a first), but gameplay sucks. Features were cut everywhere.

Oh well. I still bought it. As much as I said I would never buy an EA product, sure didn't take me long to buy Madden 360. I guess EA will get what they want - people buying their game because it's the only option available.

I didn't read any of the replies here, but Madden on the 360 has made me actually like Madden again.
