Example basic game say $30, then if I want online dynasty I can pay extra for that if I don't play online then no need for me to pay for that.

And what about people without an internet connection, or XBOX Live/PSN?

Suggesting EA should make a "basic" game is a selfish and senseless claim. Think of the ramifications it could have on the whole, before posting a biased opinion, based off of what YOU want.

Well, people without an internet connection can't get patches for the game either, correct? So what's the difference?

Plus they could sell the basic game on disc for $29.99 (offline modes only) and if you don't have an internet connection you wouldn't need any more than that. If you wanted the online portion you would obviously have an internet connection and you could purchase the online portion for an additional $29.99.

I would like that, as well. I'd also like for my cable company to let me select the channels that I want and pay for them a la carte. That a way I don't have to pay for Oxygen, Lifetime, CMT and a plethora of other channels that I've never watched. However, it ain't happening. Oh yeah and I'd also like for them to let me have HBO, Showtime & all UFC PPV's for free. That would be real nice of them.

I have no problem with extra features being added as DLC and having a price tag attached to them just as long as I can buy the game off of store shelves and have a complete game experience. I don't want to buy a stripped-down version of the game at full retail price then have to pay extra to play the full version.

It's the difference between getting a bonus and getting gouged. It all boils down to "can I enjoy playing this game without having to spend extra on features that should have been in the game to begin with?".

Any word on what this content is?

They know better than to jack with the price of the disk every year, charging $60 back in '07 was a HUGE bend over and cough!
I think if they thought they could nickel and dime their fan base and get a way with it, they would DO IT! But they know way too many people would realize paying over $60 every year for something they ultimately are disappointed with the progression of, would COST them money in the long run.
If they want to raise the price every year, they had better blow my hair back with the improvements they make EVERY YEAR! The whole Erin Andrews 10-11 same outfit thing would be a deal breaker, no sale!
