The DLC content as you might be aware, are the things EA removed from Madden which renders the game almost unplayable without those things. I'm still hoping for the best and will hold onto Madden (while it sits on the shelf) until we either get the DLC or find out we aren't getting the DLC. All is not lost, I still have NCAA 06 on the ps2 and NCAA 08 on the 360 to hold me over until the DLC is released, or the worst case scenario, will hold me over until some future release contains the cpu sliders and the other "sim" feature that the DLC contains.

I'm in the same situation. I really like Madden and think it's close. It's shelved until the DLC comes out.

I shelved it a long time, but all I remember people waiting for it PATCH 2, nothing about DLC, if there is a link, please link me to where this is mentioned.

I’ll state again that there’s no promise that this goes through, but we have nearly every one of these features actually ‘done’ internally, so now we have to figure out how to get Microsoft and Sony to allow us to release them. Thanks everyone – keep the feedback coming, and let's keep this train a-rollin'! Ian Cummings Senior Designer, Madden NFL 2010

Yes there is. It's called internet sharing with the pc.
Just can't online game. Now I haven't done it with dialup but plenty of people on here have done so supposedly.

YES YOU CAN. Do a search, it can be done and has been done by many users.

that's bs. epic did the exact same tactic with gears of war. "we have this great new dlc, but we are waiting to see if MS will allow us to release it". the answer, of course, is that they will be "forced" to charge money for it. it's basically a ploy to set us up for microtransactions and make it look like ea's not the money grubbing bad guy. it's a brilliant move, actually...

Well, we should find out soon enough. I said "supposedly" because none of us knows for sure, we just know what the EA guys are telling us on here. Wouldn't it be funny if MS says no to the DLC and then Sony turns around says yes to it? That would be a great move on Sony's part to attract more gamers to the struggling PS3.

I am not trying to be negative in anyway, but this is how I honestly feel. Here is how I am looking at the DLC, and I am 100% serious when I say this because the items in the DLC are all things that should have never been removed from the game this year in the first place:

If they charge for the DLC they will loose my future business.

and

If they don't release the DLC for free they will loose my future business.
