    EA scraps Madden '09 on PC

    American Football fans will have to turn to one of of their consoles or portables to get their next Madden fix, as Peter Moore has revealed EA's cancellation of Madden '09 on PC, citing "serious business challenges" in releasing sports titles on home computers.

    The title will still appear on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, DS and PSP, leaving PC Madden fans feeling a bit left out. Moore notes that Madden '09 is not the only PC title receiving the axe, and that it represents a larger decision by EA Sports to cut back on their number of PC releases. It's unknown if EA will continue to release future versions of Madden on the PC, or if this is the end of Madden on the PC altogether. Luckily, gamers can still experience the latest iteration of EA's flagship sports franchise on a plethora of platforms. Just not on the computer.

    PC gaming isn't dead, right? Right?

        Anyone who plays these games should be massacred. This is the only good thing to come out of Madden in 15 years.

                It may well be sir, but consoles have dominated sports games like this for years, and American football means little or no euro audience, and thats still the market where PC gaming has held strongest.

                  I am soon to have my wrist fusion, which will greater reduce my left hand usage.

                  I have enjoyed the "Coach's Mode" in Madden where you pick a play then the receiver without having to actually "play" the downs.

                  I am hoping (Yes, I have been dissapointed in last several years of Madden) a good N F L Football game comes out, with many options.

                  I am PRO PC with more moddability but do own an XBOX 360 Live.

                      I mostly play PC games, and play very little sports games, but when I do play sports games (and madden 96? was one) I played on consols.

                        No big loss. The biggest change from PC Madden 2008 to PC Madden 2009 is probably the title anyway.
