EA will Charge us for Watching an Xbox 360 Trailer! Posted by XanTium | July 26 09:56 EST
Hey guess what? If you're an idiot that can't stand to wait for even a shred of Madden 07, you can grab a pay-per-view preview of the game starting August 4th. That's right, a behind the scenes marketing video -- the kind that most companies freely distribute on the Internet -- will be available on your TV for a mere 20 dollars American. EA and ESPN should be reviled for this, and rightfully so. The sad thing is that this will make money for EA. There are people stupid enough to pay EA to advertise a product they were already planning on buying.

Who cares about Madden anyway?
EA may as well make just one Madden and then add a download once a year that updates the stats.
But I guess as long as there are people dumb enough to buy it then they may as well take money from them for it.
I don't understand why people keep buying the same game over and over again.
Ok end my rant now.

B/C for the most part graphics get better, gameplay improves, new user modes, better realism, etc.
This is self-explanatory why people buy a new sports game every year; Its an updated version of the previous.
Its a sports game; There is only so much you can change about a game that has set rules and guidelines to follow.

what fucking douche bags.. i wouldn't watch it for $20 let alone pay for such bullshittery.
hmmm..."bullshittery", that's a new one. And I agree with what someone said with one of the very first posts. Make one, gigantic, all knowing Madden game that needs nothing more from year to year and charge for an online update of that game. All madden's look the same anyway, with the exception of madden 06 for the 360 which was total trash. Hell, the $20 they're supposedly going to charge for this thing can pay for half of a decent game (top spin, table tennis...) or even get you a multitude of xbox live arcade downloads. So, to hell with EA, I'm not buying another EA game ever because I agree that 2k games have been much better lately than EA.

You gotta give it up to EA, they understand that the Madden fanbase consists of a bunch of mindless zombies. They chose Madden over the NFL2K series, what's to stop Madden fans for falling for this $hit????
Pure genius

Uhh...great...another EA rip off...sounds like they are a little desperate for cash or sumthing... and to top it all off...its for a Madden game...A MADDEN GAME!Seriously,its the same game over and over and over each damn year.As a matter of fact,buy the 2001 version and u have seen them all...
No offense to madden fans though...I just think that madden is the same game repeatedly with better graphics,exactly the same as other sports games...No innovation at all...
Thats why i dont buy sports games,or like em by any chance
Please EA,stop ripping people off and start making new GAMES that are worth playing...

EA didn't like Xbox Live at all as they got no money from people playing their games on it, then they cracked a deal with MS to get some money from the subscriptions (stupid as MS uses the money to maintain the service, EA just uses it to play with). Seems like EA is just a money hungry animal lately.
They have some good games, but they need to stop being so greedy.....

Logic would dictate tha no one would pay for this. Why, commercial's are free. A company has to pay people to get the info out there. Hence them paying millons to tv ad agencies to show their commercials. But some idiots (and PLEASE take this personally if it applies to you) will pay. They will actully pay EA for something that EA will then have to pay FOX or G4TV to show.
Common sense is not common.

while i agree that the $20 is absolutely ridiculous. I myself have liked the madden series. I liked the 2K series as well, but there's no use crying about it because it does not existing anymore. the upgrade from '06 to '07 will be worth my money because of the addition of everything they unforutately left out in the 360 version of '06.
Other than that, those saying that new games are just it's updated rosters....you can get updated rosters off of their servers when you connect to live, don't need a whole new game for it, haha.

i have to agree with eeryone ea sucks and its dumb but you knoe those madden fans will buy it. i have to disagree with the fact all sports games are the same. ever play blits for the n64 and the later blits 2001 no rules fun. but then again that wasent a ea game. i mean the game was totaly ment to be fun it was nowhere close to be real like lol. look at the def jam games the first being a wrestler and the second being a street fighter and those are ea games. knothing like smashing someone into a car or tossing them into a oncoming train or tossing them out a window lol.

sometimes people want a bit of realism, just because you don't prefer it, it doesn't mean it is dumb, pointless, or a bad game.
i don't like doa4 type games but i don't think the game sucks because of it...maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, i really don't know, haven't played it, just using it as an example that just because you diagree with the style the game is going for doesn't mean the game is a bad game. i personally feel the blitz series or any of the fantasy type football games tend to get very very boring after a very short time. i don't think i've gotten through 1 full game in those :-/.

First off the 20 dollar thing is stupid... Now about the ...madden is the same game over and over why do these ppl pay??.... I personally love madden, mainly because I am a huge NFL fan and I love the realism every new madden game provides. I play madden for simulation of the actual thing played on sundays. I love the strategy part as much as the actual control of the players. If you notice every year the cover player on madden denotes a new feature, ex. this year is shaun alexander, so they added the run to daylight feature. I will always keep plopping down 60 dollars a year to get a couple new features, nicer graphics, and of course the new rosters. Plus madden challenge is dope.

Well I must agree with you guys. First off Madden 07 simply sucks and was a waste of money. But only problem is....what other football can I play? I can tell you this, I will not ever buy another one. You can bet that. Second, EA does make some other cool titles. Sometimes I think they are made by different companies and EA just pays them to put the EA logo on the box and in the game.
THere really needs to be some sort of class action law suit against EA and the NFL for not allowing any other company to make a NFL game. It is sooo not cool to force football fans to buy a game because there is no company out there that can make a NFL game.
I will end this rant, but XBOX owners really need to avoid any Madden or EA sports title from now on. EA has been stiffing us for years and it's time to show them that we will not support half ass games on our kick ass next gen console. I mean who cares that the grass looks better? How about fixing the damn gameplay?
