Yes, I'm psychic. I predicted they would package the AFL uniforms that we "SEE ON SUNDAY" with something and make us pay for it. Sorry EA, NO SALE! Not that it matters, a million kids parents will buy it.

Also, how about the cover story of them "not knowing" about the AFL 50th anniversary until late in the development cycle? You think this package was just dreamed up recently???? Really?

If you see it on Sunday, we'll make you pay for it.

EA Sports - It's in the game, for a price.

Uniform whore rant over. This uniform guy will have to pass on principle.

They're actually making us pay for this? Wow.

I guess when you have a exclusive license and is the only company that's allowed to make a NFL video game, you can charge us for anything.

But seriously I guess this is a cool addition for the cats that don't mind paying for stuff like this.

Thanks alot EA, I already shore out enough money to you jerks. The NFL annouced the Legacy Uniforms way before this game was released. The uniforms were on the Yahoo Blog Shutdown Corner in like March or April. Sounds to me like this was planned the whole way!

They could have paid tribute to the AFL with nothing more than jersey patches and no one would have complained. Instead, they go out and stick old logos on everything they can think of to try to bring in even more money. For all we know, the NFL could have told EA to make the content separate after it had originally been planned to be on disc.

I beg to differ on the nobody would complain part. Throwbacks are a cool way to pay homage to previous years of a franchise.

As a Raiders fan, I need to get this because I'm sick of having 3 options for Raiders uniforms in every freaking football game (except the 2K Series). I love those Raiders throwbacks, and I plan on buying this. As a matter of fact, I'm buying a replica, too.

I noticed some AFL related achievements in the list for the PS3 tonight.

It's just new overlays anyway, right?

No, as has been stated many times, it is jerseys that are being worn by teams in their regular season games this year. It should be in the game for free like their normal game day jerseys are. I should be able to replicate the NFL season with the software I bought on Madden 2010 release day. I shouldn't have to pay $7 to get the uniforms. If they want to charge for everything else other than the uniforms that's fine with me, I won't buy it. But I should get uniforms that are being worn during the respective teams' regular season games.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Announces AFL Legacy Pack, Screenshots and Video Available

Who says making the customer "feel appreciated" is part of EA's business plan regarding Madden? That has no bearing on the issue whatsoever.

As far as "coming back" is concered, I don't think that is a problem they've had to deal with in quite some time. Madden is one of EA's golden eggs with the long running success it's had.

You ask me what is the point of a business. I responded with ... well ran long standing businesses make their bank on correct market pricing, a well made product, and they give value to their customer that makes the customer feel appreciated and like they are getting their money's worth. EA has not done this in anyway and are now charging well above market value for this product (unis,madden moments, oldtime filter). That is how it has bearing on this issue, because you brought it up.

And obviously customers coming back is not their concern, which is why they are charging for things that should be options in the game disc. They know you HAVE to come back which is why they bought the license in the first place. However now you see their sales are declining which means some people aren't buying into the BS they spew year after year. I might have to join them next year the way this is going...

1 more week can't wait for this pack. Never expected this kind of DLC for only like 7 bucks.

*1960’s-style presentation elements.

*Referees don the orange striped AFL uniforms (I love the fugly zebras)

*official AFL markings and logos decorate the field, and more – all while featuring a retro football card-like user interface and classic film grain broadcast camera (presentation, nice touch as well)

*The eight original AFL teams will be represented by name and wear (this is very cool)

*The 15 AFL Legacy Game matchups during the 2009 NFL regular season will include the Legacy Pack presentation in the offline Franchise mode (nice touch)

*Relive some of the greatest moments in AFL history with all-new Madden Moment (love Madden moments)

Agreed. I am itching to get this DLC.

Yeah, me too, but only if we can use the AFL presentation for non-AFL play now games.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Announces AFL Legacy Pack, Screenshots and Video Available

I want those AFL Raiders jerseys too, but I really only play online franchise. Are these playable in that mode? And are they available for online unranked matches? I watched the video advert but couldn't tell from it.

Did anyone see the special on the AFL last night on Showtime? It was very good. I think Pt. 2 is next week.

I don't want say "yes" for sure, but I believe there is an option to turn on the AFL broadcast style for any game.
