Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

How do you know they wouldn't be doing this now?

Charging for DLC wasn't nearly as prevalent then as it is now.

Do they charge people for throwbacks in NBA2k9? Why would anyone defend this? Give me a reason why we should have to pay and then I'll agree with you. I am very open to debates. I just think the in game advertisements,New DLC, and old DLC is a little ridiculous. It is GREED. Why doesn't EA have a freaking yard sale while there at. Are they tight on money or something? OR is that license making them broke. There should already be presentation elements that change when I arrange a throwback game. Commentators should say something about it and the symbols should change. Why should I have to pay for that?

Re: First details on AFL Legacy Pack DLC ($6.99)

Its cool. But I'm not buying it. I'm not so in love with Madden this year to spend MORE money it.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

You're right.

2k is such a soundly run company making great business decisions that it's still making football games.

Oh wait, they're not.

Survival of the fittest. Guess who won?

Was this comment suppsed to mean something. I mean. I get it that you hate the word 2k and 2k might have kidnapped your children but damn. They are the last example i have to compare to. I didn't like that game except for the little things they did.
Survival of the fittest?............ Dude. Calm down. It is more like Survival of the Greediest.

I love it. Every company does DLC, but only EA gets s**t for it. Laughable.

I want those uni's so i'm getting it. its 7$. The price of a value meal. Calm down the noise.

7 $ people complain about 7 $

wow


Ian put all the thing you want for 7 $ i will buy the thing that i want straight simple.

Not its not JUST 7 dollars. If you're on 360, you have to either
A) Go buy a 800 or 1600 point card(not all stores carry 800pt cards)
B) Add points to my debit card and that either has to be 6.25 or 12.50(being the only options M$ offers when buying points)

Now, thats not EA's fault that the point system is so stupid. But thats how it is. And I'm not willing to do that for whats being offered.

Re: First details on AFL Legacy Pack DLC ($6.99)

You can't handle truth? Explain to me why we should have to pay for this and then I'll agree with you.

The truth about what? LOL.

No one's making you pay for it. It is extra content that adds to the experience. Just like every other DLC from game companies, it cost EA money to make it.

I could understand if it were just some uniforms but this is more than that.

If you guys are gonna whine about $7, you might as well just go ask your mommy and daddy to buy it for you.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

It looks like there are only 4 unis... meh
Sepia - iirc they had this in World Cup 98
AFL field art - this one is good but I barely use those teams so it doesn't affect me.

It's a good pack for the fans of the original AFL teams, for the rest of us not so much.

Try to make DLCs for every team/divison, add in some old style goal posts and now we're talking

Reasons why THEY should charge it:

They are a business.
THe goal of a business is to maximize profit.
Their strategic business department determined there would be a market for this. (There will be).


The great thing about being a consumer is YOU get to decide what to buy and what not to buy.

Did you have to buy the game?
Do you have to buy the DLC?


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.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

This is some really cool stuff... however; what's frustrating to me, and probably the reason I won't buy it is that this is DLC that basically lasts the life of this version of the game (which is probably about 7-8 months). It's not like Rock Band songs or Halo maps which can be used for a long time (RB songs can be used across different sequels). Madden puts out a new game every year which is something that most games with DLC don't do. If I buy these uni's, I want to be able to use them in future versions of Madden. THEN, I'll strongly consider building a library of throwbacks.

But as of right now, they are only sold as a part of Madden 10, and Madden 10 isn't a "platform;" it isn't going to be updated past 2 patches and the rosters will be outdated in March.

This is an excellent point.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

This is way awesome , AFL Uniforms, new trophies, new classic moments and much more for seven bucks!!!! The only negative is that the 24th of September won't come fast enough. I'm pretty pumped for this.

It's called Business 101.

It has nothing to do with any perceived like or dislike I may have for 2k (in fact, I have zero opinion on them as a company).

What I think is comical is the people, like you, that think these companies are in business to give you things for free and make you happy.

They're not. They are in business to make money. Period.

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.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

sorry but this is bs

Lets make Practice Mode DLC next year too.....we don't "need" that either..thats a luxury we have enjoyed for years...its only fair that EA ges paid for the work they've put in for that mode


I've really liked the direction the game has taken this year for the most part, except for this. EA can take all of their online codes...DLC and shove it

Yeah, I guess you're right. I thought only those listed are new.
