    There was a ton a left at Best Buy on Richmond. I picked one up for PS2 during lunch. Is it 49.99 everywhere else? I thought someone said it'd be 39.99 at best buy.

    Why the hell is this game on the front page of ESPN.com? Sports news can't be THAT slow...

    EA bought the rights to the ESPN license, so I'm assuming that also means that ESPN will promote the game when possible (as well as maybe some other EA Sports games).

    I know ESPNews has had one of the IGN guys talk about it (as well as Lego Star Wars for some reason), and Marshall Faulk is talking about it right now.

    I think it's 29.99 at Fry's -- got the XBOX version for 37.99 today only

    (edit: I should mention that the Fry's was in San Diego)

    I have a live account and Madden 07, but will have to wait until I get my 360 back from Microsoft before I can play it. Once I get it back I would love to get in a few online games against some fellow Clutchfan members.

    So for those of you who have the game and can actually play it what do you think so far? The only major complaint I have heard about is the framerate seems to lag at times. I had to go from 1080i to 480p to help the framerate in NCAA and was hoping I would not have to do the same with Madden, but it looks like I might have to.

    And has anyone on here had to send their 360 to Microsoft for repairs?

    The mini games are great...However I agree with IGN...If the 360 madden before was the XFL, this one is the NFL Europe....Is it that hard to add co-op franchises to xbox live, so people can build their team against friends in the same division. The live opponent is ok i guess, but not even close to the other.

    completely agree...or atleast have an online "lockerroom" like before...i believe it was 2 years ago madden had it to where you could upload franchises/rosters/settings to your "lockerroon" and friends can download them. me and my bro did this for our franchise together...

    *bump*

    I've been playing on PC...finished my first season (13-3! -- traded DD for Ernie Sims and put him on the outside opposite Mario Williams...sick beast :eek: ) and now I'm scouting rookies...anyone have any tips on how to scout rookies or play the damn minigames? I usually skip the minigames but it looks like I'll have to learn quick if I want to get anything...
