Help Free Madden 2012 Download

Anyone able to download and install this free app? I'm getting a "phone not supported" message when I click on the link that was sent to me. Bummer...

Does your phone have Vcast installed on the phone? If not, you won't be able to install it.

Scumbag Verizon Wireless, offers free game, forces you to use crappy software you don't really want, to play it.

Yeah, I have the VCast "App" app installed and updated. I'm not rooted. But brizey is correct. My TB received the GB update and I believe that is why I'm getting the "not supported" message.

Just a heads up, the Madden d/l is now working. I had to install vcast, but Madden is downloaded and working on the new CM7.

Guys, just dial **Madden from your phone. it will send you a text with a link to download vcast and Madden.

To the post saying it doesn't work on GB. I'm on AOSP GB and that's my screen shot of Welker doing work. So, it definitely works on GB

+1 to this. Once you get the text, click on the link and it takes you to a page to first download Vcast, then go back and download Madded.

I am unrooted with GB update.

A lot of people are having problems with the V Cast app itself and not the game. My Droid Incredible running 2.2 is supported and V Cast was auto-installed when my phone got the 2.2 update last year. There's no way to update the app and I don't see anything on the phone that is blocking the app (purchasing the free game online mentions this). I've tried many times over last couple of days to access V Cast to download the game, but the app always reports an error and can't access the store.

What I did, was manually install the apk file above from Bob, that is apparently an updated version and my old version didn't work anymore....I never used that dam thing!!!
So in my app drawer, the app is now listed as "Apps" instead of "V Cast Apps". The new V Cast Apps is now working, and the game download was waiting on me (I purchased for free via VW website).

Sucks that this game requires the V Cast app to run along with Madden or won't play, and the game requires an extra 300MB of data to download? Thinking of already deleting it if it's lame.

EDIT: I already deleted it. Never even made it to the gameplay, because it was extremely laggy and unresponsive on my phone.

I thanked u, because my v-cast gave me the same error message could and would not open with my Thunderbolt. Good to know that even though madden is or was so-called free, that it was not worth the effort to figure y v-cast app itself wasn't working. Yesterday was the first time I tried to use it and quite possibly the last as well. Respect...
