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

Rock Band tracks = new gameplay
Map packs = new gameplay
New characters = sometimes new gameplay
AFL = not new gameplay

Just sayin.

Was those answers good enough? Lol.

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

For all of those who are pissed that the AFL Legacy Pack cost money, let me ask you this. What is the difference between paying for this and extra map packs for games, customizable parts for driving games, extra songs for Rock Band/Guitar Hero, extra costume packs, extra characters in games, extra this and that with any game?

And please don't use the cop out line that, "well its should've been in the game already" or "I already paid X amount of dollars for this game", because those two lines could be used for any and all games that offer DLC.

So go ahead, please enlighten me and the rest of the community with why what EA/Madden is doing is any different than what any other company that offers DLC is doing.

Replayability. If I d/l extra songs for RockBand or an expansion pack for, say, Midnight Club LA, then that will be a one time purchase. Sports games are different, they are released yearly. If I d/l a song in RockBand, it will work in all iterations of RockBand. Will I be asked to purchase franchise enhancers, elite status, uniforms, and other DLC for Madden 11? Probably. That's fine, we live in a capitalist economy, which gives me the option of buying it or not, which I won't. I also think now more than ever it's important to be an educated consumer. When other sports games offer this content for free, and now I'm being charged, I should ask why.

AFL Madden Moments
Five brand new AFL themed Madden Moments reliving some of the greatest moments from the AFL's 10 year history.

About as good as the quoted one above.

That's not a good comparison. Football, by nature, is a different gameplay experience every time you play.

These are terrible comparisons.

New Maps=Same game, different location.
New Tracks=Same game, different song.
New Characters=Eh, for the most part the same.
AFL= Same game, different uniforms and a filter on the camera.

Thing I'm most mad is the uniforms should already be in the game. The rest is cool, but I dont want/need it.

I will not be buying this because I work part time minimum wage. I must use my income to pay my health insurance premium that increases $20 every year.

The thing I hate about Map Packs is that after awhile if you can't buy them or don't like the new levels eventually they force you buy them or else you can't play as much online anymore. Also games tend to have a limit on the number of maps that can appear offline so you can't even use them all if you don't play online.
If I don't buy this I can still play the game no matter what.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

Not buying 1 extra thing for this game. 7 dollars for unis, 5 dollars for "elite' status, 10 bucks if my bro wants to do franchise on my game, 2 bucks to keep a guy from retiring,

EA sells me four years of garbage and now has the nerve to ask me if I wanna hand them more for additional crap.

Well guess what EA, it'll be a cold day in hell when I do that and last I heard the earth is warming.

Posts like this are useless. Oh, the nerve of EA to release cool add-ons for their game...Oh, and they are charging me money to do things, what a shame.

It's 7 bucks...Get a part time job, work for an hour or two, then quit, and you have more than enough money to pay for it. I have bills like anyone else...I have a family, and child, and work very hard for my money. The difference is that I have no problem with saving what I would have spent on the Chick-Fil-A that I normally get on Friday or the money that I use at the vending machine at work for a week or two, and using it to pay for my DLC. It's not like they are asking you to pay another 60 bucks for it. If you don't think you are getting your value for the cost of it, then don't buy it. Simple as that.

My money says that come August of next year, hell will freeze over...right about the time that you are handing your hard earned $60.00 to the cashier for your copy of Madden 11

it doesn't matter, by saying its new gameplay then he should be ok with the AFL Legacy pack since it offers 5 new Madden Moments, since you know, the new Madden Moments are new gameplay.

EA should concentrate on gameplay first then add all the extras. The Show is a great example of this. They made sure the gameplay was top notch, that is the most realistic sports game to date. Now, Russell comes on the boards and asks us what uniforms teams wear on certain days, pitcher specific reactions etc... all this AFTER they got the gameplay down. EA needs to get Madden fixed first.

About as good as the quoted one above.

I think he meant will it get rid of the bugs and glitches. Or will it be the same just with throwback jerseys?

See this is the only good argument I can see against this. Good post, texans.

Isn't Rock Band tracks just new songs added to the original songs? We have RB, but my kids play it more than I do.

I'm not buying it because I'm an NFC fan, not AFC.

No one is forced into buying this purchase. Choices are a good thing.

Re: Madden NFL 10: AFL Legacy Pack DLC Details

I'm definitely going to be getting this...I love the filter effects...
