It is hardly nothing new compared to its previous installments. I went into the store, played the demo, looked at the PS3 version and was ready to play on PSN, but the glaring $60 just was a turn-off. I would buy this game if they sold it for $30.

I don't think brand new Wii games even retail for $30. Besides people should use the same argument they use to bash Madden: you can buy this game and it will still be modern for like 5 years since, as you guys always say, there are nothing but minimal updates every year.

$60 for a game that last 5 years isn't bad.

Because everyone else still buys it no matter what. EA has no reason to lower the price. Hell, they could increase it to 69 Bucks and it would still sell more than just about any other game....every year...for the rest of our lives.

Because EA wants your money? It's been like that for awhile now, despite minor adjustments, changes in team rosters/lineups, and some small graphical enhancements, they still make you pay full price for it.

So true... its been this way since like 1988 and people still act like its some brand new concept that only EA uses. This is sports gaming. Most people who complain will admit that they hate sports games anyways.

Blame it on the customers. They're the ones that decide to buy the same game every year. EA is just giving the fans what they want, and its obviously the same game... every year. If it wasn't then you would of seen a significant drop in sales already.

Yea but by the time the price drops, the season will almost be over and everybody will be wanting to play 010 online then. I am just saying roster updates are so simple, for like a 15 dollar DLC download or something. I have not bought a football game in years and I would like to.

People who aren't into football the sport or football the games think that nothing changes

People who follow either one of them know the differences.

I'm into both, and the changes really are minimal, and definitelynot enough to warrant 60 bucks IMO.

I like me some football. Watch games every Sunday and when I am done working Monday Nights, there is always MNF. I follow the sport pretty close.

I just never saw the point of buying yearly updates for 50(last-gen) to 60 bucks. Since I have a new console, I would like to have a nice looking and nice playing football game. I cant understand paying 60 just to run, tackle, pass, score, and kick. I really want to play some football this year and the PS3 is my first online console, so I would like to take advantage of it.

I would rather put 60 bucks to something like Mercs 2, another EA game, because it is a big change from the first one.

Basic Economics. There are no other NFL titles on the market because EA owns the rights so if people want to buy an NFL Licensed title, the only choice is Madden, thus they can charge what ever they want. If someone wants the NFL license and not something non NFL licensed football game like Blitz then they have no choice but to pay 60 bucks. Economics 101
