Madden 09 Gold…why two months delay?
Well, remember when we couldn't believe the short development cycle of Madden NFL? Well it's even shorter as EA announced the game has gone gold for a mid-August release. Why does it take six weeks to produce the game? I have no idea, but I can tell you the rosters are really going to be piss poor

Pastapadre has a pretty good description of what’s going on. Odd that EA makes this wording mistake though…
