So? Whats everyone think?

So far, I think it is great, only because last years was great. I say that because there really isnt much of a difference in things. However, the newspaper coverage is a really cool feature, and I like the create a fan.

My favorite part as always is the new players and updated ratings. Its fun to play with Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, etc, as well as play with some of the break out stars of last year that didnt really have the stats in the last game.

Franchise mode is fun, again, but head to head is my game, and i love the online stuff. Finally I can test my skills against everyone else. Who's going to the madden challenge? I wont be due to work but I wish I could - its the 14th here in minneapolis for us minnesotans.

Let me know your thoughts and post here!

It comes out Thursday, right? I buy it every year, but i'm undecided this year. I'd like to hear some other opinions.

I got it yesterday, played it almost all night. I am such a dork, haha.

i haven't decided if I'm going to replace last year's game or not. What are all the new features? Can you import your college roster still? and when does the NCAA game come out?

I'd really like to have one of those for a few years, but since I am into realism, the more realistic they make a sports game, the more I want to get it. :ermm:

Oh, and I only play EA sports games. (Basketball baseball and Football)

So come one DeltaPi..sell me the game..do I want it?

Yes, for a couple of main reasons. 1, NCAA is already out. 2, you can still import your draft class. 3, franchise mode is more in depth. 4, its madden and it is sure to be good for that reason.

Personally I would get MVP 2004 over this game only because I think its more to play by oneself. Plus Albert Pujols on the cover is awesome.

NCAA is already out. and the baseball game was good.

I cant wait to get this game. But I work 70 plus hours aweek so its going to be hard to play

i have not had much chance to play it but it looks great. i do not understand why all the papers said thursday for release but it was everywhere on tuesday. sadly i won't be able to play much with WWC being this weekend. but there is always next week!

Got mine at Circuit City last night and when you buy it they give you a $10 gift card to go with it. So I turned around and bought my girl this DVD she wanted that was only $10 so when I came home with a $50 game I could distract her with one of her favorite movies.

Surgical baby....Surgical.
