Madden series sells 99 million units

After the last one I'm done with the series.

The real question is: did EA include the option to use deer antler spray?

Gee, I wonder how they made all the money on Madden? Oh, that's right, they are THE ONLY NFL FOOTBALL GAME!.

I wonder how much John Madden is making from all this.  

I hope they up their game and flesh out careers more, thats my only want really...and oh maybe simulating the poor refereeing of this season wouldnt go a miss either.

This actually makes a lot of sense to me if you think about it.  The same 3.96 million people have been buying the same uninspired game for 25 years now. :D

Haven't played Madden since 2008, but after last nights Superbowl I think i'll buy the next one. I can't wait to see the new powercut system in action.

I miss the NFL 2K series.

no wiiu version i call bs on this ea 

So pretty much, I wish I could intercept all the money being spent on these games, or sports in general, and then use it for...ummm, bubble gum, or candy bars, or concert tickets, any of which would literally be a smarter investment than buying an annual edition of a sports game...Seriously.

no competition, no improvement. same madden crap every year

I just wish the exclusive license would end.

My god this next year's name change means it's the biggest evolution of the franchise in the last 10 years!

Despite many people, I am definitely a fan of the Madden series.  I wouldn't be surprised of all the complaints from a lack of updates to the game over the past few years have really been years for the devs to spend time on little updates for those games and ultimately some really big stuff that's been in the works for a few years for this year's version of the game (let's just hope it's not motion controls they've been focusing on).

Lol, didn't hear of Madden for about ten years. So it still exists? That's pretty surprising but not really interesting especially outside of the USA where nobody cares for this kind of sport.

And EA stays a float goood job.

The Madden hater are out of the opening. People need to let that NFL 2K5 a lone because 2K will nerve make another football game.

I still have a copy of the original Madden for Sega Genesis. 25yrs goes fast. I have played 5 Maddens out of 25. 99 Million lifetime sales is not too bad.

I am proud to say I never bought a single Madden game.

Madden will push the boundaries? Yeah that right there is a completely nonsensical statement because Madden has never done anything interesting, just like every other major sports game. This year celebrates the 25th version of the same game...hmm sounds a bit like Pokemon now that I think of it... although at least Pokemon you can't go out and play in real life for 1/10th the price of the video game. I never understood that, a football costs under $10 and can be used for years, but Madden costs $60 PER year...

FIFA > Madden 

At times I have enjoyed Madden in the past often playing several seasons and having some fun. Madden 13 I played only one season before the updates and one after they allowed custom offline rosters in that update. It never was really fun to play 13 it always was a grind and included feature like custom playbooks that you can't even use, What the? This generation has been very bad and it has to be because they have zero competition thanks to the NFL giving EA all the rights. How interesting that a sport (NFL football) that prides itself on competition and fairness chooses to not allow competition or show any fairness to its fans. I honestly hope M25 fails so miserably that the darn NFL will allow others to make a real football game. 

After 13 it just might fail, I will never buy another Madden until they make it fun again like it was with Madden 2005 on the PS2 (and everything it could be released on). That is all I have ever seen people ask EA for, make it like it was when it was fun last generation. Still Madden 2005 has more features then Madden 13, its not rocket science EA, people liked the drills for position like the QB rings and HB vs LB's, custom playbooks, custom rosters, setting prices for parking and things, moving teams into new stadiums, heck you could even create a player in the off season up to year 30 to help replace a retired QB or whatever. So why do they keep taking features away that we had in 2004 when that game came out? Oh yeah they had competition from 2k back then to make them better. You would think the NFL would be able to understand it takes at least two to have a competition and force you to try and be better or go down in defeat.

*Yawn* Any news about a 2K NFL game?

Madden sold the same game 99 million times by changing the names of players in game and shutting down servers for old games.

Im a huge fan of madden but i could come up with a million ways to make it better....dont screw up EA

This makes me sad. 

Madden is to video games what Titanic is to movies.
