They had it in the display case, and there was a bunch of people there, then one of the workers walked to the case and said that we couldn't buy it :cry:. People were actually trying to bride the guy to sell them. Any of You experiance spmething similar involving this game?

Yes, WallMart can do that. If a smaller retailer even THOUGHT about selling, or even displaying, a game before its schedueled release date, that gaming company would stop supporting that retailer. But its wallmart! They can do whatever they want!

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you? Let me guess, you're just going along with what other madden haters are saying?

Every sports game is like that. You should wait a year or five for your next madden if you already bought 09.

I'm not a Madden hater, but that's what I always thought too... lol.

I've never really played a Madden game, though, as I'm not into football.

More of a football guy myself, if you catch my drift.

That's the problem with all the people that say Madden is just a roster update, they never even PLAY the game. How does that kind of argument make any sense?

I wouldn't know... I mean, it's not like I firmly believe that Madden is nothing but a roster change.

If someone told me otherwise then I'd probably believe it, but that's not going to change my impressions. I'm sure it's a good game, American football just doesn't interest me.

I'm not trying to attack you. I'm just saying in general most of the people I argue against don't even play the game. It irks me.

Then to that I'd say you didn't play them enough to notice any differences. There are gameplay changes every year that tighten the game. Play online and you'll see what I mean.

Hey! I get madden every year and i think its a bad game.. but want the closest thing to a "real NFL" experience where else are you gonna go.. they always add new things but never perfect the things they have.. i could tell you everything i hate with a madden game, however people don't like reading "books" .. suffice to say madden is new roster, graphics and a few new "features".. i am hopeful for madden 10 though, but my standards for madden keep getting lower and lower with each game..

Because sports are games where you can't change the rules. It's hard to innovate. I don't play sports games but I think they should do subscriptions. You have to own Madden 10, but every year you get an update that costs around $20 or so but with some new stuff. Not that BS DLC they're putting out this year.

My friend and I were talking about this a couple of days ago. I used to buy Madden every year but now its getting harder and harder to justify that. I would love for EA to put out a "new" game every other year or two and just release updates in between. But that will never happen because no matter how minor the differences are, people will still buy it..... like me:(

BTW My friend in NY has had Madden '10 since last week:x

Trophies or it has not happened.

I like playing Madden games but I can't justify $60 for Madden every year $20 updates for 2 or so years would be great. But Its not $60 and all EA wants is the cash so it will never happen.

Hey Heatmanfan101, I've never had experience with that personally, but I spoke to Walmart and Gamestop today concerning release dates and this is what they had to say: Walmart (located in Commerce, MI) recieved only 10 units of Madden 10 for PS3 only on 08/08/09. As of today they have not receive any from microsoft. When I asked how soon in advance do they receive the game, they told me usually less than a week before it launches..this gives them time to market the game (Banners, and Posters and what-not). Gamestop usually recieves their games only a day or two before launch, but that was an easy answer to an unauthorized question. Apparently Gamestop can't disclose exactly when they receive their games; But I'd say it's pretty normal to see the actual game in it's package a few days before launch - it's just a very creative marketing tactic, and they always seem to work (especially on the games we ALL want) later..

Check it out: In previous Madden's the QB animations sucked (let's just take it a step further and say that all the player animations sucked), and more times than not this is usually the tap-root of most [personal] pet peeves about the game. This year, for the first time, the game uses layered blending- which just means smoother animations. The geniuses programming this stuff used a new physics engine too and incorporated it with the layered blending. Now when your QB goes to throw the ball, he'll throw it according to the environment around him and all the animations will be there; which will then effect the path of the football. If your go-to for Sacks, breaks through and manages to get an arm on the QB as he's throwing, it's going look realistic and it will happen in real-time. With so much new state-of -the-art technology, there's shouldn't be any complaints ( at least about animated glitches). Anyway this game is suppose to be the ultimate comeback of what is Madden was... 4 more days!! -Break !! Rahsero @ http://gamerkraze-blogspot.com

"Trophies or it hasn't happened?" Is that the new "pics or it didn't happen?" :P Choco_Taco, you're part of the problem! :P Seriously though, Madden is a safe net I guess. If projects like Brutal Legend fail (I hope not...) and stuff like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge do the same, at least they have a cash cow like Madden for security.
