and who cares? Does anybody have enough room in their home to hold the entire madden collection? The game you find in the $5 or less bargain bins. I just wish EA would skip releasing anymore games for that matter!

Thank you big N for not messing with DRM

i find a lot of ea games going out cheap pre-owned the only problem is its $10 (or more) for a season pass to play online and a season pass doesnt come with pre owned games.
