Just like they (microsoft) have a way around playing DVD's on your system without having to buy a remote. Or what about not being able to hook it up with your internet connection unless you buy a wireless adaptor? Don't say it doesn't compare, because it does. These games should be fixed before they're ever sent out. I don't see how that would "punish" anybody else. When I bought a 360, I could afford a lot of things. Right now, I can't afford a gold membership. Which was fine with me because I never played online anyway because of all the cheesers, trust me, I tried to get used to it but everyone out there ruined it for me. And even when I could afford it, and was willing to deal with the cheesers, I STILL didn't want to take the time out of my day to have to go through the process of wiring my console to the router, setting up an account, dealing with any troubleshooting problems. Some of us don't have that kind of time when we're at home, not everyone is laying low for the summer. Some of us barely get a chance to play as it is, so when we get that chance, we don't want anything hindering our ability to play.

Uhh you can download patches and DLC content with a free silver xbox live account. And if you don't want to wire up your 360 to be on the net then that is just to bad for you.

All I'm hearing is hypothetical excuses for people that either don't have internet or people to lazy to create a silver live account and get there xbox 360 on the net.

For those people you are SOL, Microsoft, Sony and game publishers now have an easy in-expensive automatic way to get it's user game patches and DLC pretty much instantly.

In my mind this is a good thing.

I was a pc gamer even before the internet hit big in the late 80's early 90's. Even back then games often shipped with ciritcal bugs and issues and it was damn near impossible to get fixes for those games.

We are lucky to be able to get fixes now so count your blessings and stop making excuses as to why you somehow can't get your console online.

guys knock off the debate about high speed internet and where its accessible. This isnt' the thread for it.

lol...this thread has driven into an interesting debate. I'll leave the point/counterpoint alone except to say this...It is all moot. It is cheaper, more convenient, and more efficient for EA (and any other company) to allow for patches/updates via internet. Now back to the debate...

D*mn...always one step ahead of me. While I post (obviously a sloooow typist), you moderate. I've got my eye on you Kermit...lol

Everything is so much better since David Ortiz left...

[EAreaper26]

Will there be a patch to replace Tom Hammond with someone else? I seriously don't know if I can listen to this guy for an entire season.

Entering this thread, I thought "Oh No...". I thought that you guys on the forum had found some problems and they were addressing them after release. But thats not the case. Nothing major seems to be wrong as in NCAA, and you guys are just fixing minor things. Thanks!
