I don't know if anyone saw my video games deal thread, but right now they have a 30% extra for trading in games towards GTA 5/ Battlefield 4. If you are going for Madden 25 though, you can trade in 3 games and get $10 extra, 5 games and $20 extra, or 7 games and $35 extra. If you are poor like me this is the time to do it cause you can get a copy for free or for like $10 max. A lot of your games just collect dust on the shelves anyway This game actually looks pretty awesome!

Jindredpeople have complained over the years about having good features taken out, and now they are putting them back in, and you guys still complain. I don't get it. You want to play Madden 08, and you said they are putting in things from Madden 08 that were not in recent Maddens. So wouldn't you be happy about the game? Madden is only in the opening stages of the best mode to the game, so expect emphasis on that mode for quite some time. And the offseason was not TOO bad, besides the fact that you could barely sign anyone in FA. Some people are never completely satisfied it seems... My problem is not that they are putting the stuff back in its that they are putting it in and acting like they came up with this all new mode that is gonna blow peoples socks off. It was in the game before! They add in old features like this every year that could have easily been in every game prior too it its not hard to keep that kind of stuff it requires very little work to keep old programing in new games and just to update the way it looks, and it sells games based on the fact that people are getting something that they wanted and then they ignore all the other glaring needs! Its basically like patching a hole in a boat with duct tape, sure it will float for a little while, but sooner or later the hole is gonna show and you are gonna sink. Then last year I finally get excited about a Madden game again after a few years due to the gameplay being awesome in the demo.. And then they remove everything I loved about previous games! Only things in madden 2011 that I didn't like were the gameplay, and collinsworth. In Madden 13 they fixed both of those issues! I was excited despite trying to have low expectations, and then they removed all my favorite parts. Free Agency became this biding war instead of the far more realistic free agency from every madden prior! Signing my own free agents was terrible, I lost 3 of my best players to free agency cause I made them one offer they didn't like and they stopped negotiating with me, I literally could not make them any more offers. Then the draft is where I finally gave up. I used to have some ideas about the players I was drafting, but now if the guys you scout get taken before they get to you then you have absolutely no idea of anything about the guys you are picking from.. At least give their combine stats! Why do I have to scout them to see those!! Also trading became impossible in this madden, I tried to trade up to get my guy, and I gave a RIDICULOUS deal to teams to trade up for him and nobody would take it! I apologize for the rant, but I used to get excited when madden rolled around every year, and after the last many years I have become so frustrated and pessimistic about a game I was optimistic about every year.. I just want to play a good football game again.. You took the words right out of my keyboard, bro. Like you said, it's not the fact they're putting it back in... it's the fact they're trying to tout it as a new feature and using it as a selling point for the game. They really do this all the time. They took out the ability to import NCAA draft classes in last years game and this year, they're adding it back in and using it as a selling point. Don't get me wrong... I'm excited as fuck that owner mode is finally back (fucking took long enough, though.) and it looks pretty awesome. BUT, it also makes you wonder what other features have possibly been left OUT to compensate for this. The Madden team can't really fool too many people anymore. Last year, they completely revamped franchise mode from the ground up and introduced a new gameplay engine, but they took away the ability to edit players, have a fantasy draft, import NCAA draft classes, etc., etc. So... now when I see all these great "additions" that are added to the game each year, it just begs the question "What's the catch?" and I hate that the most about it. People who love this game shouldn't have to worry about popular features from previous games being taken out every time they see a new feature being added in the new game. Sadly, that's what Madden has become since the current gen began in 2006. In my opinion, 2005 was the last great Madden game. I didn't mind the bidding war for FA, but FA in the previous games were definitely better in terms of being realistic. I also had the same problems as you with trading up in the draft being almost impossible. I also can't stand the fact that stats like speed, jumping, strength, and other combine-related stats aren't already given to you for EVERY player. I shouldn't have to spend scouting points on those stats when IRL, I can just turn on the TV or go to NFL.com and see them from my couch. It's definitely frustrating because it's common sense that if they had competition to go against, these issues wouldn't exist. That's why 2005 was packed with awesome features and great gameplay and every game since has been a crap shoot.
