Now, from EA's standpoint, what reasons would you give for them not to sell OPTIONAL DLC? And just to add, I will not be buying this DLC, it would be cool, but it is not important enough to me to have. I would love it if it were free.

If anything, you should thank Microsoft for creating DLC then get upset with yourself for buying a 360 and Madden. It's a sound business decision by EA and good marketing to get the article published on ESPN's website and disseminated from there. It isn't rocket science people.

You know. I am getting tired of being labeled and talked to condescendingly. Like I don't know how business works. Do you have an MIT business degree ? Do you run a business? Sometimes a company that has left a bad taste in its consumers mouth over the past several years would benifet from trying to make complete solid game that doesn't need 10 patches and also throwing out some extras to show they care about the fans who have supported them throughout all the years. But I guess I'm crazy for thinking that.

This is the freaking problem with this group, they are playing around and messing around, there is no rhyme or reason to do that, they just made it up. There is no leadership, no guy standing there saying stay focused on whats important. Add fraking uniforms, we dont need grainy overlays and the film grain to make it look like your playing an older game, wtf is wrong with these people? This development team is a joke. It has been a joke since 05-06, until they clean house and get some real people in there, this game is going to be second rate and made entirely of gimmicks with nothing realistic or better than a 2004 game.

I basically just want the uniforms. They are wearing them this year. I thought madden was supposed to put all the uniforms that teams are egoing to wear.

You do know you can turn that presentation off right?

It's not required when using the uniforms, its just a subtle touch and change for the people that want it, its clear that you are not one of them.

What's this I see?

A bit of common sense and rationality?

Thanks you. I think that is why this irks me more than anything. We have several clear problems wrong with this game that are stopping it from being good yet something like this gets dropped on us before any Patch info. It is like a high school football team being ran by an 19 year old coach who just graduated from the school he is coaching. He might mean good but he isn't rady to the lead the team where it is going. Again. These are opinions. So don't get your ****** in a bunch.

How were you labeled?

You said you welcome a debate and asked for reasons why they should charge for it. You were given reasons why as a company they should do it and your only defense is to defend yourself and to say the company has left a bad taste in customers mouths in the past.

I don't see how you have been labeled.

You were given reasons and now are getting overly defensive. Ihave nothing against you nor do I have a problem with your right to an opinion.

I wonder if we need to restart our franchises?
