Sarcastic Gamer: "EA has been publishing their Madden series since 1988, and while the most recent iterations of the title are light years better than the original, the innovation has been slight ever since 2004 when EA secured the exclusive right to release NFL video games on home consoles. When the competition disappeared, EA sat back on its laurels and started churning out editions of Madden that were nearly indistinguishable to the previous year.

NFL Legend Jim Brown Takes Judgment in Likeness Case Against Electronic Arts
True, but this wasn't about the money. This was Jim Brown sending a message. EA is still involved in similar class action lawsuits and this could, if not set precedent, definitely provide legitimacy to the other claims. Judges have a tendency to look a prior rulings while making their own. EA might just be getting what it deserves for repeatedly ignoring those athletes while reaping in billions.
"Best Buy’s “Deal of the Day” is video game related today, offering up Madden NFL 12 for the low price of only $9.99 or the Hall of Fame Edition for just 10 bucks more at $19.99 . Best Buy will price match their online prices if the game does not ring up automatically for the lower price in store, but you can also save the time and effort and just do an in-store pickup instead."
Online video game retailer Newegg have launched a host of new video game deals for this week.
What's so innovating about it? Is the grass even more realistic than the last? Do you get weapons now?
I never understood why people buy Madden every year. It's the same as the last one. My friend says he buys it for the roster updates. You can't just release a roster update as DLC? Instead you release the same game for $60 with greener grass and statistic updates?
Not really a rant or hating on the game, just always wondered why people by this every year. Maybe someday the arenas will have traps on the ground.
