Not sure who plays xbox or PS3 here, but thought I'd ask? Anyone else go get the Madden at midnight tonight? If not, do you plan on getting it? I preordered a week ago and it is GREAT! So many new features, the gameplay is actual a whole new feel than last year, especially in the ground game.
If anyone has XBOX and wants to add me, I'm xBAxHeadshotx

We sold our Xbox and just have a Wii now. However, we don't really do sports in our house either. We tend to prefer what we term Country Club sports rather than what typical Americans watch. We like Tennis, Archery, Fencing, Equestrian stuff, on the rare occasion we watch a contact sport it's Rugby.
I dont plan on it. Everywhere ive read it got less than steller ratings compared to older Maddens.

Just about everything they have changed in this one I like better than the old ones. I haven't played the all new "Connected Careers" but I know some people really looked forward to that. I play Ultimate Team and they made that much improved..People always say (the last couple years especially) it's worse the next year and the next year, and I have never agreed..but it's probably because I'm such a huge football nut.

Why do you prefer those sports? Archery was cool in the olympics, I'll admit that. I play Tennis, but I really don't enjoy Fencing and the horses.

But because she does, nobody said you had to.

Hrmmm... that's an interesting question. Perhaps because I've done a lot of historical reenactment, and they are all very old sports. As a reenactor I've participated in most of them in early costumes and there's an elegance, an honor & courtliness to their origins. I enjoy the pomp and circumstance, dress codes, and protocol. I also like that they haven't been ruined by the "sports machine" in the way American football, baseball, and basketball has. Someone doesn't become an archer to have a multi-million dollar salary. They do it because it's their passion and their heart won't allow them to do anything else.
As far as the Rugby goes... well The All Blacks doing the Haka had me sold in a heartbeat. I don't really watch or follow any other team.

Jeez chill man. I was just asking a question..as you can see, she gladly answered. I don't know what that was for, and I never implied that I had to!

I actually really enjoy history as well. I love American History especially. They're all definitely have a long history, especially equestrian and rugby. And I definitely think the way media portrays those sports (I think they are the machine, more than the sports are, and I'm guilty as charged) is what can corrupt them for a lot of people. And I don't blame you for not watching them. All sports are great. I can get in to just about any sport if I sit down and watch it, haha. I'm addicted..

Yeah, I'm gonna get it. My wife thinks we bought a Kinect for the kids games.
