Yea, extra jerseys and stadiums are pure fluff and not required...but look at the FIFA franchise. They have 2 FiFa games. 1 you play the season, but have no world cup...the other you just play the tournament and try to get to the world cup. They deliberatly left out key components of the soccer season so they could resell the game again with the playoffs. This isnt a matter of $1-2$ for some needless items, but an extra $60. This could be pretty significant. Even though soccer is the worlds most popular sport, Madden is the top selling sports game. What is to stop EA from releasing a football game that allows you to complete a season....but then require you to buy another game in order to continue to the playoffs and the Super Bowl. You may think this is far fetched, but they have already done it with soccer. With EA having the exclusive to football games, I can see this as a possibility.

This will never happen. The World Cup happens every four years and is seperate from the club leagues and their championships. The Super Bowl happens every year and is attached to the league. The NFL would never let them do that anyway because of the backlash and lost sales. I swear people are going to far with this Marketplace stuff. Next people will be theorizing that EA will make you pay extra to pass or tackle.

Exactly. Not to mention that the world cup edition is not sold every year. It is only sold once every 4 years...divide that down, and it's 15 bucks a year...which is probably what you would spend on games like madden if you want to get all of the stadiums, uniforms, etc.
