Re: Really really annoying in game ad just added today!!!

I played 3 games last night in my franchise (while connected to Live). I didn't notice a single ad, not one. Maybe I was tired due to it being 1am, but not once did I say "oh wow, there's an ad."

This is going to sound very strange, considering this is EA we are talking about, but I can't help but feel like EA sold out. With the Madden Shop being advertised throughout the game, even in Offline Franchise, you would think the revenue from Madden Shop alone would cover all server costs. I think they just threw these ads in for extra dough that wasn't necessarily needed to keep the servers up, therefore screwing the consumers into having to deal with these ads on every single play.

EA, I gave you 60 bucks. Some people are going to give you even more via microtransactions. Leave me the F alone with these ads while I am playing an offline game!!!

If they want to plaster adds on the scoreboard/cutscenes etc. fine, but that damn shoe add plastered in a white box behind my right tackle when the play starts is aggravating . I think that its white even makes it worse. I get blinded by it..

Stuff like this shows how far Madden has sunk over the years.

That they waste development time putting in pop-up ads instead of fixing all the franchise bugs.

It's pathetic and shameful.


I wonder what Ian and Phil think about it? I'm sure they'd give some company-line answer publicly, but man - I really wonder what they think about it. I'm sure EA made them do it - I can't see honest, true-blue football fans signing off on something this obtrusive and corporate.

Not only did they sign off on it, but Ian's response to this issue is that everyone annoyed by it should disconnect their console from the internet if it is bothering them. I am sorry, but you want me to turn a feature of my console off because you are inconveniencing me with ads while I am playing offline modes?

I don't sit well with that.
