I think its just an effort to try and sell more copies, and given the circumstances it makes sense for multiple reasons. I mean did NFL 2K5 lower its price to $20 because it was a bad game? No, there were other factors to consider why they did that.

I don’t think anyone expects it to be a “great” game. A fun game probably. Which makes it a lot easier for someone to bite the bullet on a $40 purchase of a game that is just expected to be “fun” and not the deep enriching experience that they may expect out of a $60 game.[/quote]

The big difference in your comparison is that this game really has no competition since it will be the only football game released in the winter/spring timeframe.

EA has never been one to leave money on the table so it sounds like a case of trying to capture the largest userbase it can on a game that will be released right around the time the NFL season is ending. I also doubt anyone is expecting it to be very deep or for that matter a ton of modes. To me the $39.99 pricetag is a good fit for what I have seen. This is the pricetag APF2K8 should have launched with.
