They have the ability to but i think “they always will” is a strech. Hell go 3-4 years ago when we were getting minimal cfm/franchise improvements. IF the pc version featured moddable rosters, uniforms, stadiums, etc im sure a lot of the cfm heads would have juat updated their pc versions instead of purchasing future iterations.
Take into account equipment guys like me who will be happier than a pig in s**t if we can mod tattoos in the pc version.
