Sorry bud, the real world doesn't stop for integrity. Your mortgage and car payment can't be made with nobility.

Suits seem to have made this idea. Devs just do what they're told. You can only do so much when you don't hold the checkbook to the company's bank account. In the end, it's all about making $$$ for THE MAN.

If I were in charge of a game like this and I was approached with this idea by my superiors I would tell them they need to hire someone new to be in charge of this because I want "my guys" to be concentrating on the game and the changes I wanted to implement. Also where I work my boss doesn't tell me what to do. There is usually a discussion about any changes that need to be made with our work because we actually have respect for each other. I don't know where you work but if my boss ever "told me" anything he wouldn't have any employees.

L out L!

99% of the actors and musicians you have ever even heard of have "sold out".

Selling out is not bad. It's necessary unless you like playing free gigs on the Starbucks patio.

PS. I didn't single you out, your writing style just stuck out to me.

Couple of issues with this. The fact that it pertains to ALL dynasty teams (offline and online) with no restrictions is ridiculous. That makes absolutely no sense.

The other, is what has been brought up already. How are we focusing on items like this, and Season Showdown when there are other GLARING issues. It's a matter of trying to create an authentic game that plays well vs making a game that is feature rich, but not done.

The core of the game is gameplay, and should be the focus EVERY year. Instead, we get gameplay tweaks (i.e. bug fixes from year before with a few innovations like WR slips) with the good time being spent on items that not everyone uses. Recruiting tweaks? Why put man hours into this and Season Showdown (quiz game and all) when some people flat out dont care? We all care about gameplay because we all use that. Lets get the priorities figured out.

Not me, not this year. I am going to play the wait and see approach.

This is a joke right? And everyone is just over reacting?

I laughed and so did my friends when we saw this in the game.

With that being said the joke is EA putting this in the game and the biggest joke of them all is not having restrictions for online dynasties. The commish should at least be able to turn these off/on but that cannot be accomplished.

Way to go EA.
