Kinda crazy, I went to TRU and got it for the 360 it cost 44.99, with a 15 dollar gift card, but if you use your reward card thing you get a 50 dollar gift card. So in the end I got the game and 5 bucks back.

Oh, and speaking of franchise, who's up for an online one? I might make an official thread tomorrow and run it myself if it's cool with people. I'm all for one. I'd said to wait a while to not only let people get the game but acclimate themselves to it. We sort of had one all sorted out as far as teams went earlier on in the thread. For those of you who do have it for the 360, are you able to do Custom Soundtracks? Like actual ones?--and not just being able to play music from the Guide.

That's awesome. I've been wanting to do that for so long. They couldn't have picked a better year to add that either. Thanks, dude.

::sits here without game::
I guess my first Gamestop.com order will be my last. They ran a free overnight shipping promo about a month ago, so I took advantage of it. They also have that "Street Date Guarantee" where they guarantee that I'll get it...you know, ON THE STREET DATE. But my order just got shipped today (?) And the customer service tells me that UPS doesn't ship out or deliver from them on weekends. So we'll see.
I could've just gone to the store today and gotten it, but now my order's too far in to cancel, so I'll just have to be patient. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of life, but it's just the principle of the matter.
At least I'll be out tonight seeing AC/DC, so that's a plus.

Just checked out the Achievements and I can't really say I'm too happy with them. They're all way too specific--not really fun sounding at all, more like a chore.

Yea it's a couple pages back where people called teams.

No, Vick is not in the game. However, he will be added to the Eagles when the roster update number 2 comes out on Wednesday. And yeah, nice job on finding all that OTE. I agree with waiting. We should atleast wait another week, then we can officially set it up. Although, someone already made a thread for it >_< Oh yeah, and I agree with the achievements being too hard and specific. I just don't like when they have to be certain teams/players, and co-op stuff. Bah. I really liked Madden 08's achievements. I think I had got every single one, except for one or two. So far I've only gotten four achievements [Pocket Monster, Mr. Not-So-Perfect, Fight for the Fumble and Frozen Tundra], plus the three secret ones. (You can check out how to do those by watching the Inside Xbox video or here.) I'm going for Larry Stickyfingers and Laser Arm? right now by playing as the Cardinals vs. the Colts. Also, what does everyone use for quarter length? Last year I played 3:00 for franchise, just so I could play more games in a day, but usually 5:00 online or with friends. But this year, with accelerated clock (which I love btw) I'm always playing 5:00 or 7:00 quarters. I'm actually playing a 10:00 quart with 20 second accelerated clock, and it's pretty fun and not too long. I may use that for my franchise (which I plan on starting on Wed. after the next roster update)

I may use that for my franchise (which I plan on starting on Wed. after the next roster update) I really doubt I'll end up with many Achievements this year as I have no desire to play as most of those teams, let alone enough for whatever you need to do to occur. I usually play with 5 minute quarters, and very rarely I'll do actual 15 minute ones (the scores tend to be ridiculously unrealistic, so I tend not to). Speaking of Franchises, I'll probably do what I did last year with mine, and play each game as it actually happens. Sure it takes a while, but I found it to be more fun that way.

For the person asking about quarter minutes, I've always used 7:00. Don't know why.
My copy should be in on Monday or Tuesday.

Just got finished with my first game--Eagles (me)/Giants, as usual. I surprisingly won it 38 to (I want to say) 24. All I can say is that I absolutely love this game. The improvements are so easy to see. The new fumble mini-game is pretty intense too. I'm surprised it actually lived up to the hype, or at least it did as far as I'm concerned. I really like the accelerated clock too. I set the game at 15 minute quarters with 15 seconds accelerated and it not only seemed realistically paced, but the final score wasn't some astronomical amount like it would've been before. One thing I couldn't figure out was how to bring in Custom Soundtracks--again. Are they actually in? Because it seems exactly like what the case was last year. Other than that I have zero complaints about the game. I can deal with the lackluster commentary since the rest of the game is incredible. The whole presentation and everything else added gameplay-wise finally gives us a worthy contender to 2K5.
