Although I'm passing on waiting in line to pick up a copy at midnight tonight, I will pick up my Microcenter pre-order of Madden tomorrow evening. 

Anyone else plan on getting it this weekend?  I finally played the demo last night and it felt... different.  Should be worth my $35 in any case :)

The Sexybox demo version felt clunky to me. While NCAA '10 is smooth as butta, Madden just seems weird to me.

Yeah; hopefully the clunkiness is smoothed out with an update or I hope I'm at least able to adjust to the graphics (which are good but have a weird feel to them).  I *do* like the fact that the game is slowed down, though.

The more I play NCAA 10, the more I like it.  NCAA 09 was good but NCAA 10 may be the best version yet.  Save for the original Bill Walsh Sega game that didn't even have NCAA licensing of course :P

Clunky and awkwardly slow.  Maybe I could get used to the speed, but I'm not enthused.

The PC version needs an update. They should patch it so that Vick is on the Eagles and in the stands are people with PETA signs.  :P

I think he was saying either there needs to be a Madden 10 for the PC or the last version needs an update.  There is no PC version.

A PC version would be nice, but even nicer would be if NFL 2K_ could have continued past 2K5 (which was one of the best NFL games ever).

Yeah, EA Sports isn't making PC version of most his games anymore.

Yeah blame the NFL for that. They asked for an exclusive deal. EA shelled out more.

I still might get it, just to see how those NCAA '10 draft classes translate to Madden. I want to see Tebow and Pryor in Madden.

Debating whether to get it now or wait a few months.  Right now, I'm leaning toward closer to opening day.  That'll give it some time to be patched to a legit playing level as well as having the rosters being accurate.  Anyone that has it:  Have they by chance integrated the awesome team philosophy element from Head Coach?  It's the ability to set your preferences for style of play/what you want for your players to do, i.e. Pure Passer, Field General, Strong Arm/Tools, balanced, scrambling for QB.  It then changes up the usefulness/rankings of players depending on how they fit your choices.

I haven't started a dynasty yet, but I'll check. 

The gameplay is gonna take some getting used to :mellow:   I wouldn't say it's a bad game but I think NCAA 10 is better.

One thing I did like was online co-op, even though the idiot I played with last night called a running play on 3rd & long, then missed the FG that would have put us within one score.
