"We knew that our decision to not develop this year's Madden for the PC would be an unpopular decision in some circles. But I'll reiterate what I said a couple of weeks ago in this space…the PC presents some very serious business challenges to us in the sports category, particularly because so many of you all are playing your favorite sports games on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. We are committed to shipping a limited number of our games on the PC this year, but we've also had to cut a few of our games from the platform. We do have ideas for how to revitalize the PC for sports games and the types of games that are best suited to the platform, and we'll continue to explore those."

I love PC gaming and I love my sports games. No Madden for the PC would be very upsetting for me and a ton of other PC gamers. I have a bunch of friends that buy Madden for PC every year. =(

Can't you just get a roster update mod, or just use the old version which will be the same other than that one minor feature they add every year?

Well... Madden has no chance of selling in Europe, unlike other EA games which are about sports that europeans do care about to some degree. THat's propably why there's no PC Madden and why EA's FIFA Manager is PC exclusive

I have yet to know a PC gamer who actually played Madden. That game is crap, and I'm glad it's not infecting PC's anymore with rehash after rehash.

Actually there was an 08 version on the PC....same goes for the other previous installment. Since the PC version are worst then there console counterpart I don't really see this as a hugh blow or anything to PC owners.

Obviously. They never even bothered updating the gfx engine because they knew PC gamers would download the game rather than buy it anyways. Oh well.

I dont even think they release madden anywhere else in the world... because football really is only popular in NA.

Edit: Oops nevermind it is released there.

I have a theory.

They aren't releasing Madden for the PC because nobody buys it, and nobody buys it because nobody cares.

Am I in the ball park?

To all those saying nonsense let me throw this out to you. Madden is American football(dunno why they call a sport using hands 90% of the time football and calling one with 90% of feet soccer but w/e). PC gaming does its best outside of the US. Do you really think anyone is really gonna buy this game about a sport they don't care about? Does brian lara cricket sell well in the US? nope.

It's because the shape of the ball itself is such that it nestles into the arch of the foot when kicked.

No Madden 09? THATS IT!! I'm selling my PC and getting a console. I'm so damn sick of PC not getting these great games like Madden that totally not rehashes and are awesome sequels.

DAMN YOU PC!!

This game's demographic are primarily console gamers. This game doesn't have a large fanbase on the PC, so it's not a blow, more like a pinch.
