How has this guy not been canned yet?

He's worse then those spam bots posting viagra pills and shit.

While we are on this subject it had me thinking.. so EA sends all these gamer changers and celebrities Madden early.. almost 2 weeks in advance. Knowing how social networking is they figure the word that these "important" people have this hot new game early. It creates a furor around their game. It makes other people want to get the game early.. but in years past you had to wait for the street date.. but this year.. this year is different! You can get the game 3 days early with EA SEASON PASS. fu EA and your marketing team. shady bitches. I am onto you and your tactics.

[Point Blank]

how you gonna do that?

if you know someone in our area, hit me up with the details. And if you are going back to Maryland and getting one early. Bring me a copy back and I'll pay you for it!

The EA season ticket thing. But call around to those stores around Riley and ask and let me know.

That negro out in Kansas. I know there is a spot in college park that sold Madden early in the past. Dunno if they still doing so. Dont waste your time calling, they not gonna tell you they selling it over the phone.

They will most likey have it on the 26th as well. They usually get it the Friday before the release day. Call up there around then.

Don't hate on Kansas brah. Your boyfriend Freeman played his college ball in my town, I shot hoops with him on several occasions at the rec.

You mean watched him shoot hoops.

Its that sort of thing that does bother me. I do find it clever and kudos to EA for their part in basically employing free marketing skills but on the flip side I'm onto their bullshit as well.

Natureboy is simply one of the sheep that fell in line with it. I really don't know how much he gets paid (would be interesting to see) for it but the dude has to have a spine when it comes to this shit. I've said it before (well last week here anyways) that one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to the forum world are assholes that only come around to promote their agenda's and don't actually support or be a part of the communities. The last time NB was here was in April and that was for more madden spam in which he got lit up for.

Oh and:

Yeah his excuse that he wanted to tell his friends or whatever was bullshit. He's purely here to promote.

[godspeed]

Why make a post on Aug. 16th about a game you are not allowed to talk about until Aug. 26th.

He could have been up front about not being able to talk about it, and maybe asked us if we had questions and he would be nice enough to answer them on the 26th, but I don't think he did that.

This thread sucks.

TLDR of this ^

BUY EA SEASON PASS NAO!

The UPS guy just dropped it off about an hour ago. It came with it's own Madden NFL 12 Pizza box. I'm about to fire it up right now. Hit me up for a game whenever you guys get your copy.

 

Groan to Nature Boy for not posting any impressions.

Permaban?

I didn't come here to brag, I just wanted to share this with my friends on this site. A lot of us go way back, getting close to ten years now. I look foward to playing against the 2-2-0 guys and anyone else who wants to game.

For those wondering how I got the game so early, i've been a Senior Moderator on the EA Sports forums for the past two years. Last week I was made a member of the EA Sports Game Changers program. Like someone already posted, I can't talk about the game until the 26th.

Garrett67, you are older than me. I won't turn 44 until December.

pp, that MM crap was like 3 or 4 years ago. Get a life and get over it. It must be sad to be continuing to live in the past. If that's the worse thing you ever go through in life, I think you will be ok. I was only a mod on MM for two weeks.

Lies! all lies!

[PP]

So when will NB be back? Whens the next game he is pimping out?

[Bear Pand]

Lol at giving EA shit for having a marketing strategy. I was under the impression that most major companies had one. This is a video game company we're talking about, not the Red Cross.

The anger comes from EA being very very good at marketing, but very very bad at producing quality games. Makes them come off scummy.
