Sons of Anarchy Ad

So I have played 2 games in my franchise this morning and just started another game and the first 5 plays an ad for sons of anarchy on FX has popped up each play. It just started doing this now. kind of annoying.

Sweet, I love SoA, probably my favorite show on TV. Much better than golf shoes at Kmart.

Ya im not complaining about the show at all. but the fact i am about 20 plays deep now in this game right im in. and an ad for this has popped up each and every play.

If your concerned , dont be , its perfectly normal. EA has stepped up its in game advertisement to include little boxes that cant be turned off.

Some people have said this just helps with the realism of the broadcast.

Personally, I think its a pathetic. I would go out of my way to not patronize a product who's company would be all for that kind of in your face marketing.

So are you saying you will not patronize EA or you will not patronize FX? It sounds like you are saying you don't have as much of a problem with EA as you do the advertisers that EA allowed to be in the game. I don't blame the advertisers, that is good business. It is a little shady what EA is doing by making us watch advertisements when we have already paid $60 for a product. It would be like having commercials on HBO. If they are going to have advertising, then the game should be free. The advertisers should foot the bill for the game as that is how advertising works in 99.9% of the rest of the market.

I like having ads pop up once in a while cause it does add to the realism. but i am in the 4th quarter now and this ad has popped up before EVERY single play. maybe 2 or 3 times is fine during a game.. but not every play of the game.

I have came to expect this from EA, a company I stopped patronizing long ago.

I dont watch SoA, nor would I now. Id rather not send a message to them that this type of force fed advertising works or is appreciated.
