I think you're reading to far into it, most special editions of games have that notice.
If they did that then this HOF edition would be completely pointless (Faulk being the first cover athlete to make it into the hall of fame), also people didn't vote for the Browns they voted for Hillis, he's the only guy from the Browns who could have won the cover (there are no other white RBs playing for the Browns)
Unfair? $30 for 13 players?... Some people that play Ultimate Team take it waaaaay to seriously. Its a way of making money first a foremost(it was a $10 DLC for FIFA 09, and FIFA 10, I believe FIFA 11 introduced the purchase points feature and eliminated the original purchase). You can certainly have fun with it without paying a dime (if you treat your team as an ever-changing entity and only keep a few of your superstars. This is much more fulfilling in my opinion as if you just maintain the same team you might as well edit a roster and play franchise mode).
I think it may be the same guy but they got him to do a new version of the tagline (its sounds different from the normal one but the guy sounds similar).
