It would be received much better by the community had EA labeled them as PDLC's from the beginning. I agree completely with you about the services being worth it. These two services and being able to commish 5 OD's for only $7.. Count me in. Add in the fact that they are allowing you a free 7 day trial of the online sim before you buy and they can please those that may not like the sim and just want to advance.

The only issue I have is the pay to advance the dynasty. I highly doubt that adds any extra stress on their servers, as it should be the same as it is when you advance from the console. The rest of the microtransaction stuff makes sense, like the super sim. Extra stress on server = pay for it. Host more ODs? Makes sense. Mass download TB teams? Still makes sense.

As was already said, this is the norm for most games nowadays. At least we aren't talking about $9.99 or monthly charges. It's what? $6 total.

EA is a business and they are always looking to make more money. I just hate that when you buy a used game you have to pay 10 dollars to play online. Oh well...it is what it is.

Re: New Features Aren’t All Free in NCAA Football 12

I'm on both sides of the fence on this one. I can understand why one would be upset. Money is tight for most these days, so I could understand someone being upset if they have to pay to advance a dynasty, which is a small feature, at best.

At least we'll have a 7-day trial to determine if we really need it or not.

Since the game is already done, we'll probably see a lot of gameplay, along with some more in-depth info on RTG. Hopefully we'll have the demo in a couple of weeks.

I think it's both pathetic and disgusting, but nickel and diming is what EA does best. They are very good at manipulating the masses into buying crap that should be free.

you can use the "business as usual" for a series that is flourishing but you have a situation here where there is a distruss between the company and the consumer. this (like many other EA titles) aren't the blockbusters they used to be so that being said why would you cause unnecessary ways to "generate revenue" that might make a person on the fence decide not to purchase. in business the only thing worse than slow money is NO MONEY!!! think of businesses that have had problems with public opinion. they come back with better deals and better product they dont squeeze the wallet harder???!!!
