Question: Would you pay extra for Franchise DLC?

[jmurphy31]

Wonder how many units EA would sell if they had 2 distinct games. Like have Madden Franchise (franchise mode, face of franchise, online head to head with regular teams) selling in August and Madden Competitive(MUT/KO) in like January. I’m sure there are a ton of people that would buy both modes. Plus really there isn’t a ton of development needed for the January game.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

No. If they add an immersive franchise mode then the game will finally be worth full price for me. Until that day comes, I’m not buying the game at full price anyways.

Back to my post. I know head coach didn’t make it due to low sales, but I think the critical mistake was that there wasn’t a playable option. Wonder how sales would of been if they had that option

Just a rumor based on 2K. Nothing more. Highly unlikely to actually be true.


For one, we can all upgrade for free to next gen versions of the $60 games we're buying this fall. And here's the big one, Xbox has smart delivery... so everyone would buy the current gen version and then the console would auto deliver the better version of the game. So the higher price can only apply to physical copies of games and with physical sales already dropping that seems unlikely. This is likely a case of 2K, like many games, having many different editions that include virtual currency and different pre-order bonuses.

It's a bit crazy that games haven't really risen in price since they went from $50 to $60 on the regular. Go back 20+ years ago and games were still around the same price they are. You'd think each generation might see games go up $5 or $10 to keep up with inflation, but the prices have stayed put where they are. It's nice for us consumers, but I do wonder why this industry has been the way it has been in that regard.

Yes, if that's the only way I could get it. Many of us have paid extra just to get a copy a few days early over the years, so the extra cash isn't an issue.

You really think 2k is going to be the only company charging $70 for next gen?

I'd gladly pay extra for them to release franchise DLC resolving a lot of issues and adding on to the mode. At this point the game play is already in a good place, so if they were able to resolve many of the underlying issues with stat tracking and CPU AI on and off the field it would keep me entertained for years.
