Same here, but I am in Houston so can't blame it on Irene. Maybe the truck melted in all this heat.

?

I got an email a couple of hrs ago saying the game had arrived at the house.

Mine hasn't even shipped from Amazon according to their site and I haven't gotten an e-mail. But they sure did charge my card. I might be sitting on my porch though.

Played 2 games so far and I'm enjoying it considering Jennings already carried the team on his back with a last-second 81-yard TD to win. All-Madden definitely seems to be a sweet spot on difficulty, although I'm sure that'll change once some money plays develop.

Oh, and every year I play the first few games with sound... and then I remember why I listen to music because the commentary is offensive. I thought at first they were just trying to save space with the demo, but I've decided they didn't include it because it's so awful.

Just threw a pick six. CPU returned it 106 yards for a touchdown. Announcers spent the next four plays ripping the CB for going for the int and getting burned.

Yep. That about sums up the commentary. Immersive presentation my ass.

I played two games so far and I really enjoy it. Some things are annoying like the usual linebacker super vision or the lack of releasing the ball after you press to throw in pressure (I think me and the other guy got sacked a total of 8 times). Everything else has been pretty good. I definitely have to get used to the way defenders move in coverage but other than that I enjoy this game.

Let me know whenever I have to sign into leaguemanager or the league.

Hahah, wow.

That's worse than the dropped lob pass by Finley who was wide open deep down field... and then they made fun of Rodgers for trying to force it into tight coverage.

I got the game last night, but haven't even opened it yet, I'll be around for some games tonight if anyone is up for some.

Buy it at Wal-Mart or something then just return the Amazon copy to that store when it arrives. :)

I am anticipating the same e-mail. Do they give you anything when they don't get the game to you on release day?

I just got an email from my concierge saying I can pick up "a package at the front desk."

Wellie is just getting extra Lab time advantages against you AT!
You're going to just tank for the power team Packers right?

There was no mention of that in the e-mail, I'm thinking about contacting customer support though and bitching to see if I can get anything.

They usually do if you contact them and issue a friendly complaint.

Random thought but I'm pumped they added They Reminisce Over You as a track. Such a solid song. I hate how they blur out every word that may resemble a bad thought: ie, sober or baby.

Fucking Amazon. I have never been on the receiving end of your shenanigans before, but I now know what it feels like. And it feels bad

Wellington, Smokey and Luke, you're all on notice for exhibition games tonight. John Beck is on a mission from God to dominate.

Wellington is going to have the keys to the lab and will lock me out by the time I manage to actually play this.

Oh god, Tarvaris Jackson is such a pile of shit at throwing the ball.

*Wide open Miller streaking down the middle*

*Press Button*

*Ball flies 20 yards past Miller and well to the left*

He scrambles like crazy though!

Also some of my backups are rated terribly, if any of my starting LBers go down I am destroyed.

Sounds like Braxton Miller of OSU fame :( Short passes are your friend.
