   Why couldn’t EA just release the Spanish content as a FREE download with a patch that lets you choose language at the beginning and thus changing the music, play-by-play, etc.?

   Seriously, this needs to be a different game? They couldn’t just put the language option in there?

   Is the Hispanic community really going to re-buy this? It’s 2 months after the release of the regular Madden, with no word this is coming. Most people who were going to buy this year’s Madden game already have. Bad timing on EA’s part, and stupid to not just include both languages in the same game

   Ok, here is my personal feelings about this subject. If you can’t speak English or you have no intentions of learning it, then get out. I am not going to stand by and watch mostly illegal immagrants change our country. If you want to come to America and try to make a better life. Then good, I have no problem with that. But if you’re going to come into the country illegally, not learn the language, and send all our money back to your family’s in other countries, then I would do everything in my will to stop that. I did find one thing funny though. In the news they said most illegal immagrants actually pay their taxes. Funny isn’t it?

   the intent i think is to push for more EA presence in other markets aside from North America. with the exception of FIFA all of their others title reign supreme only in NA. Peter Moore has been vocal about trying to get more of a worldwide impact and market share. Supposedly the voice dialogue was completely redone, so it isnt that they took Madden and translated it, they actually made a separate game to cater to other markets. I sitll think it wont do too well, If you look at the map that shows up when you play halo 3 you can se where the density of players are around hte world, majority are in NA, Europe and Asia, the rest of the world just doesnt have the numbers yet.

   @ CJ - your comments are a bit off topic, but for the most part understandable, the sad part is that the “immigrants” are the ones doing the jobs the Americans don’t want to do and have become a vital part of the American economy.

   @ CJ

   Your points are valid, but you need to realize that the monolingual laborers are not the ones who can afford a system and games upward of 500 dollars. I think that its just to really spread the paradigms of American football into a game that the Latin Community can relate to on a personal basis. Why do I have the feeling you will not be picking this one up.

   Yeah, day laborers and dishwashers probably won’t be shelling out $400-500 for a system and $60 for a game, because they have more pressing matters, like paying rent and putting a meal on the table for the kids.

   I wonder, does the Spanish version of Madden have the English tracks in it? I haven’t bought a Madden title since 2006 (you know that stripped down Madden game with no franchise mode that came out with the 360, that was only good for the easy 1000 AP).

   All you people in a america have all that anger inside, is not about inmigrants is about passion of that sport, i´m from uruguay maybe i will not travel to usa in my entire life, but maybe i want to test madden in spanish, i can speak english, maybe i´m better hearding it, not writting, but i repeat you is no about religion, race or anything, is just a game.

   @ Arrow:

   I agree with your sentiments. On the other hand, not all Americans have anger inside. Wasn’t Uruguay where the plane of rugby players crashed and ate each other? The Movie was called “Alive”.

    Yes, you are right, this people were uruguayans that lost many familiars in early 80´, and the ate each other because of the circunstances, and they survived.
    I now that not all american have anger inside, not all the people feels the same way. thanks for your comments and regards
