EA buying exclusive rights to the NFL was the worst thing to happen to football games.

If I had a 360 or PS3, I'd so get it. Not worth waiting for at midnight though.

Yeah, but because of its popularity, it gets the midnight release =\

I wish there was still competition from 2k, the games have gotten stale. I'm eager to see the backbreaker football or whichever one uses the euphoria physics engine.

I miss the plethora of football games that came out each year. One would always outdo the other, and it would never be the same. Since Madden is the only competition, they don't even have to improve upon their games and it will still sale because it's the only football game available >_>

Because it is popular, it has a big demand. Which is why we have midnight releases: there is a big enough demand to buy the game as soon as legally possible that stores can afford to open at midnight to sell the game. Thats why there was a midnight release for Brawl and Halo 3, and for consoles, because those are so popular that the shipment will pretty much sell out at midnight, and hence it is profitable to open at midnight and pay for employees to be there. Madden is the same way, regardless if it is a good game or not. So yeah, midnight releases happen because of popularity, and not nessacarily quality.

Still... it seems like due to the mass quantities of Madden games sold, the production of it is rather large right from the beginning thus reducing (but not eliminating) the need for a mid-night release. I can honestly say Ive never seen a friend go to buy an Madden game and there not be several copies in stock. Though, I guess it likely happens occasionally in larger cities than my own.

So yeah... i'd say the only reason for midnight releases of the game are simply for the fans of the game. Not because of production issues or the actual quality of the game. (in my opinion)

the reason is already clear.

Because the game is apparently so damn popular.

I have some friends that go absolutely apeshit over the new Madden games (along with the superior NCAA games.) It's a juggernaut of a series that clearly deserves a midnight release.

The NCAA games are alright, my roommate bought the most recent one for my 360. I actually stayed up all night playing it once (I was up on purpose cause I wanted to try and reset my schedule, which didn't work but whatever).

I just pre-odered 09 last night. The $90 edition that comes with Head Coach. I will probably like Head Coach more than madden actually. I have gotten madden at midnight each of the last 2 years, but having a steady job now means I cant stay up that late to get it, so I'll be picking it up after work.

The Madden games make the USA look like Japan. Hardly anybody gives a fuck about them in any other part of the world. I think they sell about 3 copies over here.
