Pro: Well you can pre-load so it will be done downloading before midnight and ready to go at "release" from comfy couch.
Con: no trade-in value on digital.

Another Pro: Staying home instead of heading into Seattle's ghetto xD
I'm just hoping it actually shows up at 9PM PT

Ah man. Got my fantasy draft going right now. Madden comes tomorrow. It's football season. Feels good.
Digital Foundry will probably have one up soon.
You could've just pre ordered it on psn and have it downloaded already if you were going to buy day one. Psn pre order gives you $15 worth of Mut items.

I usually only buy Madden once per system. Gonna get this one, hope I don't regret it.

the game is pretty good after playing it for 6 hours. however, like most non-baseball sports games it can devolve into a shitfest if you're playing the right (wrong) person. that's why we have the madden league!

This is what I ended up doing. Luckily I have decent internet so the pre-load will be done soon.

100% agreed. Hooked immediately.
Just put the disc in after waiting in line at midnight, and I have to say I really think I'm going to love this year's madden. I'll predict I'll play it as much as I did '04 which was my favorite. This is coming from one of the many who have really been dissapointed with this series over the years.
yes sir
Keep in mind that locks you to that player, but no it was not in 25

Graphics are sick.

As someone who was 100% disappointed by Madden 25 in every way and was disgusted by it's graphics on next-gen consoles, after playing Madden 15 on EA Access, I think it looks beautiful and will be the first Madden game I've bought in awhile. The difference is night and day to me between Madden 25 and Madden 15. The presentation is also fantastic!

Glad to see positive early impressions. I liked what I've read up on the game, but I'm always skeptical when it comes to sports games. I got a PS4 copy coming from Gamefly later this week, and I'm really looking forward to diving in this year.

That's with the 50% extra promo I'm assuming? Any idea how long that's good for? Debating going tomorrow to trade those in.

Ranked matches online ... FREEZING WTF??!
Fuck. I gotta find a way to get this to turn around this awful week and it sure as hell isn't for Browns hype (although I guess this year's focus on defense would help the Browns out quite a bit...lol).
Can't believe I'm hyped for a Madden game again but it definitely helps taking a year or two off in between and in this case, it was 2.

I'm not a huge Johnny fan, but god dammit for how long Hoyer has been in the league he looks terrible, you shouldnt be that comparable to a rookie QB. I guess him being a home town boy gives him more of a leash? On the plus side, Hoyer gets to take a beating vs your guys future QB.

Already regret getting the ultimate edition. Thought it would come with the preorder bonus plus the extra packs, nope. Then I go to open the packs and get nothing but hot garbage. A 75 rated RE was the best I got lol.
Yea, I think it's partially due to Hoyer being a homer and also he gets to take the beating while Johnny remains unscathed until they can get him more weapons. I kept saying they should have drafted a WR, especially with knowing what's going on with Gordon, but people here told me it's good that they're sticking to their plan as if I wasn't allowed disagreeing with it and now we see the product of that decision. You need receivers to make a QB look good and a bunch of dropped passes only hurts their confidence even more and Cameron can't make up for Gordon no matter how many times Gruden calls him a WR...lol
I think it's better to let Johnny learn some more while the experienced Hoyer goes out there and tries to prove people wrong because people will turn on Johnny right away these days so at least make sure he's in the best position as possible to succeed so he has a fair chance. I'm hoping the Browns are looking down south at the Bengals who will need to cut some decent WR's since they'll be a lot better than the current line-up. Hell, Hawkins is already worthwhile to me.
Sadly, that's partially why I want this year's game though. I want to try and build a team around Johnny and see if I can make it work while most people speculate we're looking at the QB-rich draft next year already.
Just hoping I can sell some of my old games to get this one. Pretty sad when I have to revert back to that strategy.

Hoyer will probably last half a year before he breaks anyways, so let JFF soak up all the bench time he can, he's gonna need it.

You guys are gonna keep the steelers out the playoffs, so you're already doing God's work.
Maybe this is a really stupid question, but is there a way to just play a normal season in this game? Like one where you pick a team and just go through every game as every player if you want? Keep in mind that I haven't played a Madden game in years so I'm simply assuming this was removed at some point.
