I'm Sayin!
I am a capitalist. I am all for EA making a sh!tload of money off their game by selling it to the biggest audience. Fine. But having the NFL exclusive incurs some responsibility on their part (an ethical responsibility if not a legal one) to give us sim gamers what we need too.
I think a "sim" mode accomplishes this mission, and will expand EA's profits because more sim people will be willing to buy the game instead of renting it once then coming here to trash it.
