It's not a "sim" experience at all. When you are watching an actual broadcast, do YOU see a rectangular, obtrusive Burger King pop-up ad come out of the ticker before every single snap??? I thought not...

I am on PS3, and if you disconnect from the internet, that disables you from earning trophies. So if trophies are important to you, you are kinda forced into playing while connected. I agree, this should only be active if you are actually playing online.

To me, it does interfere with gameplay when I've got a banner ad popping up almost into the field of play on every snap.

Pretty cool?!

I'm more annoyed by having to sit through the measurements and watching referees discuss a call, was cool the first time, very annoying now.

Same with the halftime show and post game show. I don't want to watch an animation of my QB being interviews for 10 seconds that is impossible to skip over.

If thats the case, then that is annoying.

That is exactly what happens. BTW, I don't think you guys understand what is happening. EA is making more money and intruding into a game where in the past there were no intrusions, and they are doing it without giving ANYTHING up. They charge the same amount of money and now they even add micro-transactions. I wouldn't mind an advertisement that pops up everytime if the game was free. I did not agree to down by down advertisements when I bought the game. You guys let it go this year and just wait what they'll add next year. I swear to god if you give them an inch, they;ll take a first down. Pacify this year and cry the next.

If we have to endure real world ads, shouldn't it off set the cost of the game some?

When did they start doing that? When mine still worked I got them offline.
