Actually, it is. Rock Band adds on gameplay with new songs. Remember, they ship with a large amount of songs on disc, and release 3-12 songs a week. That's one way Rock Band keeps people playing the game because it doesn't get stale... new gameplay. New maps add new strategy to a shooter, where strategies change due to new spawn points, new objectives, and new obstacles to get over or avoid on your way to get the other team. New characters in a fighting game give you new moves to learn and either complete or defend against. Adding uniforms to a football game is window dressing, and doesn't change how you play the game. Everything else I mentioned does. Of course, I figured someone would say "but what about the Madden Moments". My response for the Madden Moments is that you get 5 for this pack, which, unless you love playing Madden Moments, you'll get about 20 minutes out of.

Then I would argue that new tracks in Rock Band does not add new gameplay. It's just a new song that requires button mashing in a different sequence.

Maps can be viewed as just cosmetic as well as they don't truly effect the actual gameplay.

Again, football, by it's nature, offers new gameplay each time you press reset.

Alright, we'll agree to disagree here, Squint.

Fair enough. I think that what another poster said earlier is true too though, Rock band/GH are kind of the exception to the rule on DLC.

I am with you though...I will buy it because it affects my team. Otherwise I would probably think about it, but wouldn't be outraged because it costs money.

Another thought though(and this is not directed at you, Giggas)...It almost seems like it's a two headed monster with a lot of posters...When something is wrong, they call for it to be fixed. If it's fixed but it puts them out in any way (restart franchise, DLC $$$, etc.), then it's an outrage. If it's not fixed, it's an outrage, because EA just wants more of our money next year.

I'm just happy they appear to be working on things. Regardless of how this works out in the coming months, we are seeing things around here with developer interaction that can do nothing but make this series(and the rest of the series') better from here on out.

For me, I buy 4 games a year...Baseball, Football x2, and Hockey. That money is already spent every year, without thinking twice...and I play the crap out of the games. Any extra content or things they want to throw at me I will consider...but I consider them based on the situation, and don't add the "I blew 60 bucks on a game that should have this already!" line in it. It's a few bucks, and I can live with that.

its too bad we have to pay for it, but dang, it looks sweet!

Wow! That's awesome! And I'm stunned that this hasn't been leaked on here or rumored.

Totally can't wait for this. As a Patriots fan I am looking forward to the uniforms and presentation. Good stuff. Don't mind paying for it cuz it's only a few bucks.

Just a matter of time before we have to pay for game play patches. ridiculous charging us for things that should be free.
