I'd love to get free copies of every EA game for life, even though I've been critical of it/them for months. Great idea! You should let them know for me!
For the other guy, no. If a player wants to be in the NFL, they should want to be in this game. Because once again, as I've already clarified, it is branding. Nothing in my innocuous comment said that they'll be higher drafted because they're in the game, or anything. Branding = opportunities. Endorsements, shoe deals, commercials, whatever. This applies for NIL, and when they're in the NFL. Having your name out there, as a player aspiring for more, is never bad. Regardless of the medium.
And I don't care if you've been here longer, doesn't mean the quality of posts on this forum, or yours in particular, can't have dropped off. Can we move on now?
