Wasn't $60.00 bucks enough?

[grunt]

I had to send in my 360. So, I decided to play some football on my old XBOX and for some strange reason the game that I was playing had all of AFL uniforms.

The uniform DLC thing doesn't really bother me. I mean, I think it's stupid that a company that couldn't make a realistic football game if we gave it two years to do so is charging for something that probably should have been included in the game. I mean, I'm half expecting them to soon be charging for realistic franchise stats and defensive AI. "For an extra $20 you can purchase the franchise stats cheat. Now, CB get tackles, 3-4 OLB get sacks, and MLB gets fewer tackles. Also, for the tremendously cheap price of $10 you can get realistic defensive AI. Now, no longer will the computer bring everyone on a blitz every single third down!" Seriously though, the Uniform DLC doesn't bother me simply because I'm not going to download it and I'll just act as though it never was created. I don't really like to use throwback uniforms anyway. But, Madden 10 was certainly a disappointment for me. I still play it because, well, I have nothing else to play right now, but it's just got too many game killing flaws that may soon make it more coaster than game.

I proved to myself with 2k9 baseball that I can quit. For yearsi was always complaining about madden and 2k baseball sucking, last year after Madden ripped me off another 60 bucks, i said thats it, but i was sold on the online franchise and presentation. In the spring 2k9 didnt move me and i saids im sticking to my guns, im not even renting it. after seeing the forums like 2 weeks after release, i was happy with my decision. Next year, I will do the same for madden.

People need to take a stand and let EA know this is unacceptable. The only way they stop trying to squeeze extra bucks out of us is if no one buys the extra crap they are selling. I haven't bought any of the extra junk they offer and I will continue to refuse to do so. It doesn't bother me one bit.

Problem is, little Johnny will find his mom's credit card and buy it. So will uniform freaks (we have a lot of them here).

It doesn't matter how many of us don't buy it, there will still be a large amount of people that do.

Whats even more clever, when you wear the uniform, in the games presentation, it uses the Oilers logo, just like in the hall of fame game in real life. Ill bet when you wear the uni in madden, after you buy it, you will still have the titans logo. I swear man, look at this game man, half of the stuff doesnt work yet, online franchise is halfway done. We already paid 60 bucks for an incomplete game, now we are going to pay for uniforms and a dozen other things, etf is wrong with this company? Im done for real man, the heck with this game, these amateur developers.

I've been irritated by a lot of the protesting done around here lately, but this post, considering the subject matter, I have to completely and wholeheartedly agree with.

I'm 20 years old and I'm facing about $2,000/yearly in car insurance but let me spend money on stuff for my video game.

I'm not completely blaming the Madden series but video games, in general, are getting to be a pain in the a**.

Unfortunately I found this in the EA annual report:

This BS might be around a while...

Kinda strange - ESPN 2K5 had all these jerseys in there....standard!

Sorry but PAYING for some extra jerseys is just insane. See for something like extra map packs on say COD is one thing - but jerseys?
