Now if only EA would simply release one good Madden every few years and leave the roster updates to DLC...

Every other year would be fine. It would save me money as no matter what I plan on doing I always end up buying Madden every year.

I've never purchased a Madden title, and have only played one on the Sega Genesis--it was fun enough. This new one for the Wii looks intriguing however, but I simply cannot force myself to spend $50 on what will be completely obsolete next year. Maybe if the games were priced lower (y'know, like Sega did before EA bought off the NFL) or weren't released as often I'd take the plunge, but as it is, I just can't... especially since I don't particularly care for football.

If you don't care for football then you won't mind or even notice that rosters are outdated and then it wouldn't be obsolete in a year.

I remember when back in the day roster updates for sports games were expected and released for free...

Why not just buy last year's game for $10?

I can't tell whether you're joking or not, and that's disturbing enough regardless.

I'm actually being serious.

So Bill are you happy that Wii isn't plagued with DLC?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #36 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:40:46 PM »

I'd be happier if most of it didn't exist at all... =(

Haha. I'd love to see the number of takers on those.

Bumping this thread to let you know that Namco is charging 5 bucks to unlock Vader/Yoda. Who are already on the disc.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #40 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:33:34 PM »

That's ridiculous. I think they're going to get hit with a class action suit over this, or at the very least a MONUMENTAL fan backlash, and Vader will be free for all, soon.

THE FORCE CANNOT BE UNLOCKED SO EASILY

YOU MUST TRAIN AND GIVE IN

I wonder when console games will return to "insert credit to continue".

What the hell is wrong with this person

This DLC thing is getting more and more ridiculous. Mike Caps wants endings to games to be DLC.This needs to stop!

vudu · « **Reply #45 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:07:32 PM »

They're trying to figure out a way reduce the impact of used game sales (and game rentals) on their bottom line. Some developers--like Criterion with Burnout Paradise and Harmonix with Rock Band 2--are doing it right. This is an example of doing it wrong.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #46 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:19:25 PM »

If they get rid of used games and renting than they are losing customers in the long run.

vudu · « **Reply #47 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:23:34 PM »

There's a difference between consumers and customers. If all you do is rent games and buy used you don't actually give any money to EA and therefore the company doesn't give a **** about losing you.

I'm sure there are a lot of developers who just want as many people as possible to play their game, but the heads of the studios and the publishers want your money.

It's Epic, what did you expect? =\

Vudu my point was if I rent or get a used game and I like it than I will get into the newer instalments of said game.
