I agree, the white on white's need to be available. One way or another. I just would like to hear something definitive from EA.

Wow, if MS has that policy then god bless whoever came up with it. Too bad EA is too assinine to take their lumps and release them in an update anyways for both Madden and NCAA.

It is available for free...but according to Major Nelson, you can still get those cars without buying them, you just have to unlock and earn them. The content on Marketplace is just an easier way to get it.

Just give me the jerseys already. I don't care, I'm tired of getting mocked by their Jaguars alternative jersey "ad."

I think a big question will be whether EA sucks it up and gives us the jerseys for free (doubtful) or just plays like a bratty kid who can't get their way, and never releases them.

I'll take bratty kid! If they were cool they'd atleast release the damn NCAA jerseys.

I bet we won't see alternate jersies on older-gen systems next year.

Heck, I bet the older-gen systems will have players running around naked.

Could this be the reason that we're not seeing downloadable alternate jerseys for either Madden or NCAA? Did Microsoft slap EA on the wrists about their plan to release these jerseys and charge people for them? I realize that those 2 stadiums are out there...and I'm not sure if they're available on current-gen Madden (probably are). Perhaps EA snuck those two stadiums out?

Those stadiums aren't on any other systems.
