    didn't realise you could check it, I would have assumed we'd get it today

    Mine also says Packing but that was updated August 28th, confident about getting it today.

    I have the early release until 12 midnight. Wonder if it'd boot me midway through a game when it reaches 12.

    Just back from HMV, 20 quid for Madden 12 on trade in! The lad said that the amount of copies they were getting were limited! So if anyone plans on getting theirs in HMV, go down and ask them to hold you one!

    Youre Best bet would be to post in the Sticky at the top and when you have enough interest (10 or so people) start the league.

    There should be enough people, you just need to wait for people to get the game.

    Ordering now of gamesnash, I'd say it'll be Monday before I get it now but can't wait to start competing again, got a turtle beach headset too so nearly all set now. Got €79 for some old games, GameStop offered me €44!

    We'll have to take a look at our prices offered :p Your order shipped today so hopefully you will not be waiting until Monday.

    Apologies lads for the game only going out today. We had hoped to get it out yesterday but stock did not arrive into the distributors here until this morning. The bank holiday on Monday in the UK badly effected things in the supply chain.

    We have though thrown in a little sweetener for you. ;)

    Someone asked already but are there any online guides to help a crap/beginner madden player. Haven't played more than a few hours madden since the early 90's.

    I don't know about online guides but the best advice I can give you is play friendlies against people on here as much as possible. There is a friendlies thread where I am sure it will be buzzing. When you are playing someone just say you need the help and ask them questions, get them to tell you when you are doing something wrong and have fun! Main thing is practice!!

    There are a number of sites here's some examples:

    http://www.maddentips.com/#

    http://ie.ign.com/games/madden-nfl-13/ps3-128098

    There was also a good post by one of the guys here on about defensive plays. Not sure where it has ended up though... EDIT: found it http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=77472582

    You could also ask the guys here who seem to be very knowledgeable.
