    I would just like to say a few things.

    1. I waited outside a target this morning for a half-hour to get this game. I got the collectors edition. 

    2. I was wrong, the original edition would've been just fine for me.

    3. NFL 2k5 was still the greatest game, and here's why. Though you can't argue that NFL 2k5 is better today than madden '09, it was a revolutionary game at the time, and they only charged 20 dollars. That made EA lower the price of madden, which was simply better for every consumer. So I mean even Madden fans had to have liked 2k5 on the simple basis that they got the game they loved for cheaper.

    I agree about the price thing. If 2k sports could do xbox and ps2 games for $20, then I think a huge company like ea could easily do their sports titles for $40. I miss the old competition between ea and 2k. Now ea just steals all the licenses away and charges a ridiculous amount for them. Also, just to vent a little, ea needs to let the nascar license go. They have no interest in nascar and they have no intentions in making the kind of nascar game that the real fans want. Just let Papyrus make them.

    There was an upgrade from 07 to 08?

    No but I agree, this is a big improvement from previous maddens, lets hope they keep this up.

    I'll be interested to see what gamers think of this years Madden.  I know Xplay gave it a 5/5, but am waiting.  I couldn't get into last years Madden for some reason.   I think they try to add too much stuff just to make it different from the year before. 

    I don't know, maybe I'm just getting old.
