They have ALWAYS been this expensive or thereabouts. We just actually got to live through a heyday of cheap $50 games in the PS2/Xbox Era

That Madden Game would be $117 in today's dollars.

Yeah I really cared what the price of madden was when I was 13. Do you ever tire of being you?

Tip for those of you that want don't want to pay $30 for early access or are unsure if you want to buy it at all. Get a month of EA play for $6. The only catch is you're time boxed to 10 hours.

My birthday is Monday, and I just remodeled our bathroom (well, I'll have the painting done this weekend). I have the brownie points to lock myself away for a week, so the extra $30 was a no brainer for me. Can't wait!

Looks like the Pardon My Take guys get the game a day before the early release:

Anyone know of any deals on PS5s?? I've been waiting for a good deal to popup but haven't seen anything - and guessing my hope of a PS5/NCAA Football bundle is highly unlikely..

Prime days are coming up I think, maybe a deal then. Costco had a slim digital bundle that has an extra controller and charging station for like $520, would be a good deal if you needed the controller.

Up until this year I still play the 2014 version from time to time. The improvement in every aspect in 25 looks amazing. From that gen console to the new one, it’s only been what 10 years or so since the last game but the graphics look so much more crisp and fluid

@Connor_Ferguson did a report a while back on some of the stuff. I believe he reported the uniforms are updated. And Hines asked about the Jack Trice unis, which are in the game.

Yeah I saw that one for $530, was honestly hoping for better from Costco. You can get a console & controller anywhere at retail for $520. The Costco one includes a controller charger, but I could care less about that. Probably should have just pulled the trigger when they had the bundle that included the Spider Man game.

Oh also - are the only benefits of the disc console being able to buy used games & play dvd's? Not sure I'd use either of those enough to justify the extra $50, just want to make sure there's no other benefit.

For Xbox peeps, it's usually possible to start a free trial of Gamepass Ultimate, which also includes EA Play

I saw the thing about hines saying the ames uniforms are in game but I though connor's deal was just what Iowa State submitted, not what was actually in game.

We've had a family vacation planned for a year now. We leave for a week on the 20th. :curse:

I'm gonna be itching to play it all week while we're gone. I am taking the 19th off to pack, but I guess I'll have to get all of my packing done even earlier...

I forgot the Digital Slim is only $450, I was thinking it was $499, so yeah not really much of a deal.

If you're near a bigger city and don't fear used, look around at Facebook Marketplace nearby. I picked up a 1 year old 1TB Xbox Series S earlier this week for $180. There was PS5s for sale around here too.

Otherwise, for people who want a new Xbox S, go to Sam's Club. Console, controller, 3 month GP Ultimate card for $290. Great value.

Couple of disappointing things I've picked up reading an AMA on reddit.

-No Formation Subs
-Can't change numbers on players. Even the auto generated ones.
-No mass subs.
-4 and 5 star players still go without offers.

No formation subs is a bummer. I loved being able to swap a speedy 5th string WR or backup RB to the slot in madden and take advantage
