Great, now you can spend your fake money to buy some other fake money to buy some fake trading cards. This isn't the future we were promised....

As a Football fan, I do admit to buying the occasional Madden/NCAA game, but I think I will skip this one. My personal rule of thumb is to pick up an iteration of the game every 3-4 years, and since I bought Madden 10, I'll peek back into the franchise at 2013. And dang, lots of irrational hate of football in general too.

It's not so much the whole resale/used copy stuff that pisses me off, but that rentals aren't worth crap with this.

considering the fact that all aspects of sports are drenched in advertising, can you really blame madden for being the same?  I dunno if you've watched soccer lately but those dudes WEAR advertisements.

Normally, I would agree but NFL broadcasts are so over-saturated with ads in real life that it almost feels like EA is being more authentic by having so many ads, which is sad in its own way.

Q: "who better than BUSH?"

 
A: I watched a Bush concert decades ago - the opener was an unknown little band that just had a first hit. The opener for Bush was ... Muse. They stole the show. They pwnd Bush when Bush was supposedly the "hottest shit" according to the PR sniffing music media. Ahh, funny random conversations in QL's.

Does in game advertising bother people that much? I personally don't mind it, thought that add during the online screen seemed like a bit much.

Seems like the game is exactly how I experienced Monday Night Football last time I was in the states. Adverts surrounded by a ball game.

It bothers me. To the point that I want such things regulated, so I can choose whether or not I wish to be subjected to such things. Advertising is the main reason I don't watch TV, I'd rather it didn't turn the same way with video games :/.

Meh. As a casual Madden player this still just seems like 2010 to me with a new HUD, gameflow, and a switched control scheme. Granted the online features are probably nice for people who get into that stuff, but not for me. I team up with friends to play a franchise, but that is about it for my multi experience with this game. 
 
Personally I would like to see them start making a Madden every two years and release updates to rosters and features in the between year. 
 
Actually....EA should just give up the monopoly they have on the NFL trademark and let competition enter.

I'm a little disappointed this Madden doesn't accompany a bet that a rival game will out sell it. Maybe someday Wolfenstein, you'll live up to your potential.

so they had to introduce the Online Pass and at the same time put a shitload of ads everywhere. As a consumer I would like them to choose one of them.

Na, no disrespect! But when I saw the name Alex, I'm asked myself, "Who is that?" Then I was glad to know that it was this Alex.

Navarro, I love ya man, but are you high?  First a Defending Your Movie on Fletch Lives, then the comment, "These animations look good"?  These animations look like rejects from 2003.  Check out the fans at 20:40 and tell me how good these animations look.  I mean, fuck.

Being that Tampa Bay is the closest I have to a home team I have to say, yeah, you're kinda right.

Pretty standard EA practice. You pay for your full priced, annually released game, you get your advertisements, minor updates, and can be reassured in the fact that people who you can play against online can just buy their way into whatever they want. That sounds like a game I want to play.

I think the Ultimate Team is a great idea, but I hate the idea of microtransactions for shit that's already in the game.

Wait there's another Ultimate Team?

Edit: They really stream videos for ads while you're in menus? What the fuck, that should be illegal, eating up a lot of your bandwidth.
