A week early if you are a Gold subscriber. And man, I have to say, it's really good. At first it felt like the same old Madden, but after a few minutes of playtime an experienced player will notice some pretty subtle yet significant gameplay changes. The game is slower and really feels like football this time. Everyone knows about the gang tackles, and they are awesome, but the offensive line play seems much improved as well. The players really work to open up holes, and the computer is able to run the ball down your throat for basically the first time ever. Also, the CB/WR battles are a lot more compelling, particularly when the ball is in the air.

Other than the 1 minute quarters and the fact that you have to play with either Dallas or the Giants, the only thing I didn't care for was the new play selection screen (although I'll probably get used to it).

Anyway, I'm definitely buying Madden this year. Anyone else try it?
