I've never understood why people line up at midnight to buy a video game. I mean it's midnight......I'm not gonna rush home and then play for 3 hours and then go to work and I am sure not going to call in sick on a Wed just to stay home and play a game.
 
I agree with you Jason. But, you'd be suprised just how many people DO call in sick and play Madden (or whatever game it is) all day...

I'm gonna pick my copy up on my way home from work Tuesday.

I may go to a midnight opening if it was a weekend day. Even when I do you are right. I turn the game on and check it out and go to bed. Big waste of time for me. Hell I won't even go and pick up Gears at midnight.
 
Let me set the record straight that I'm mainly staying home because I'll be at a punk show tomorrow night to see my two favorite bands. After 2+ hours in a pit screaming my head off, I doubt very much I'll want to go into work. Madden is just a bonus.

Its probably the best choice for me because I will get up at 6 tomorrow morning and take my son to school and go to work. I take my lunch break to go pick him up from school and then get off work at 5. At 6 we have football practice until 8 so picking this up at midnight might be a convince for some.
 
League is not what I thought it was. Here is a paragraph from Gamespot's review.

Series fans have been clamoring for online leagues for years, and this is the first year the mode has been included. Well, sort of. Yes, you and up to 31 other players can form a league and play against one other whenever you like, regardless of how many games other participants have played. In that sense there are online leagues; it's just that they aren't any good. You can't fill out the league with CPU-controlled teams, so if you've got only three friends to play with, you're left with a four-person league. There is a draft, but it's an autodraft that selects players based on your predraft rankings. Again, having just a handful of players hampers the experience because everyone in the league will get awesome players. There aren't a whole lot of weaknesses a defense can focus on when the opposition's fifth-best receiver is Pro-Bowler Anquan Boldin. The default settings don't even allow for player statistics to be tracked (stat-tracking is curiously tied to the unexplained "unique rosters" setting). When you consider how full-featured Electronic Arts' own NCAA Football 09's online dynasty is (although it has its own problems), it's puzzling that Madden's online leagues are so lacking. At least online gameplay generally performs well. We had some frustrating problems with the kick meter not recognizing our input, but for the most part, the action was extremely smooth and lag was never an issue.

Honestly I don't think we need to play with drafts and such. If you guys want to get all in depth count me out. :lol I just like to play the game. Not micro manage the teams and such. :D
 
From what I have read it does the draft automatically for you I am more disappointed in the fact that we cant play a whole season and it is more or less just a tournament.
