Also remind folks in your listing that yours are new and include the online pass. If you buy a used Madden you have to pay $15 to get a new online code.

Before, EA Sports had to compete w/other companies and made each Madden significantly better than the last. Now, since Madden is the only NFL game on the market, they rehash the same game every year with rookies added. Now, they don't want anyone buying used games on ebay - so they make you pay an additional $15 to buy an "online pass" just to update and play.

Can't wait till their deal w/the NFL expires - then EA will have no choice but to put out a consumer friendly product again.

For now, don't waste your $$$ on buying new Madden's every year.
