Ncaa 10 - Why is ea selling functions that should be in the game.

[MrDeeds]

I just went through most of the modes on ncaa 10 and ea trys to sell you something on every mode. Start a franchise and your offered the opportunity to buy a pipeline state, then theres the recruit advisor. Both of these "cheats" can be used in online dynasties even though it creates an unfair advantage for the people that don't want to or can't purshase them.

On the road to glory you can pay to be a five star recruit everytime you start the mode. Thats another 500 xbox live points. It just seems ridiculous that they give us 95% of the game and gouge us for the last 5%.

I just wonder if enough people pay then whats next, are they going to start charging for online dynasty mode.

The perfect word for it is tacky. Not my word, but it's the word that I thought fit it best. Just utterly, defenselessly tacky.

Hey we had a 20 page thread on this when it was first announced.

All of these items can be obtained by playing the game, these shorcuts are just offered for the more casual crowd. They are also making it an option in Online Dynasties to not allow the PDLC. So it won't be a problem online if that's what you are worried about.

It's just that at EVERY TURN the money grubbing continues mmorg. I know that these things can be gained by playing the through the game. But for instance, you advance to the offseason. POPUP - HEY wanna give us some money to open all the promises LOL?????

NO I don't!

I was worried before I had the game, but it's much, much worse than I imagined it would be.

That is one of the major issues with even venturing down this path, you offer someone the ability to skip ahead but you also offer the option to turn off that cheat. So if 90% of online dynasties turn off the ability to use the cheat then what did they really pay for.

I haven't tried to start an online dynasty yet so i hadn't seen the option to turn off the recuiting helpers. I posted based on my shock after my first time playing the game, i'll try to find the old post.

I just advanced to Training portion of the offseason.

POPUP:

"Getting your players to gain attribute points in the offseason in Dynasty mode can be hard for lower prestige schoosls. This item will allow a team with lower prestige to train their players like one of the top schools in the nation.... blah blah blah"

At every turn you're ignoring these popups. Sadly, it might be worth it to buy all the dynasty accelerators just to get away from these ads!

Does it really pop up in your face? I haven't noticed that, nor have I ventured that far into Dynasty yet. I have only seen it in menus.

Well you don't have to buy these boosters. EA isn't forcing this on anybody but the option is there. I am really not defending their decision to do it as I think it is useless too but I don't see it as a problem. I'm not going to buy them and the Online Dynasties I play in won't use them either so I won't even interact with the boosters. It's a non-issue with me because I have the choice to not use them and for my competitors to not use them.

Ok, I really don't like that. That really bothers me.
