If 2k was still in the business of making football games I guarantee you they'd be exploring the DLC avenue as well. Why, you ask? Because it's the NFL. The most popular sport in America. It isn't the MLB, NBA, or the NHL where consumers are likely to pass on uniform DLC because they can do without it or just don't care. They've done their market analysis and know what they can and can't charge for and what people will pay for.

I have to agree. No doubt 2K would do exactly the same thing. Why all the hate for this? If you don't want it, don't get it. If you do, reach deep down in those tight *** pockets and pull out 7 freaking bucks and be done with it. People need to let the 2k5 vs MADDEN thing go! WOW! WTF! Listen, its like this, MADDEN is the only football game around of course along with NCAA. We are not going to change that, done deal. And, in a few month's that contract will extend, and alot of you will be wasting 5-6-7 more years of your life complaining and comparing 2k5 with MADDEN.
If you don't want this feature, dont get it. The same goes with playing 2k5 or madden, pick one, or like me play both every now and then and go on. But this back and forth stupid **** about 2k5 and madden is getting very old. EA and 2k5 are probably laughing their asses off listening to all the whining. Buisness is buisness, it doesnt matter what EA does, some of you will go out of your way to put them down. Hell, you haters and bashers sound like little spoiledkids who didnt get enough presents for Christmas. Its sickening, heard it with NCAA, now with MADDEN. PUT THE DAMN GAME IN AND ENJOY A VERY GOOD VIDEO FOOTBALL GAME.

So, this idea that they are doing this instead of working on a patch or releasing a patch is incorrect. As far as #2, your suggestion has been recognized, but sorry to inform you that I'm buying. I have no problem paying for DLC like this. If I didn't feel it was worth it, then I wouldn't buy it. I understand you wanting people to feel as you do and not buy the DLC and complain so that hopefully it either comes down in price or is free, but thats most likely not going to happen. People want it and they want to buy and are going to buy it. Why can't you accept and respect that decision by others and stop trying to persuade them to feel as you do? Different strokes for different folks.

:uh:

Read your sentence again and read mine. The game killing issues that they are fixing are all being fixed in the 2nd patch. The issues being fixed in patch 1 I didn't even realize were issues and I'm sure many others didn't complain about those either. So that proves to you that they were working on this before they were working on fixing the game killing bugs in their game.

You can argue it aint worth $7 - heck I might even agree there....but STOP saying things like this unless you can back it up.

This DLC is coming out before or at the same time as a first patch. Less than a month after the game was released.

Have you ever seen the graphics textures that EA uses for their games? Have you ever seen the .fsh files and all of their graphics? A uniform skin can be done, by me (a non professional graphic artist) in like an hour if I wanted to. Obviously you haven't seen what was done with MVP for the computer, NBA Live, all EA sports games, etc.

Also, the uniforms were said to be in in interviews back in 1Q 2009 as has been posted many times throughout these threads.

I believe that all of that information that I DO KNOW first hand is why my statements are not broad stroke statements (whatever that means).

If you have never dealt with their textures or photoshop in anyway then you are the one making claims that have no backing. I know for a fact that these overlays, uniforms, playcall screens, etc are all things that can be done in one day. The ONLY thing that might take longer than that is Madden Moments simply because I do not know how EA programs those. However, I would assume those are easy as **** to do as well since we used to have a scenario creator (I believe) in Madden which basically was any Madden Moment you ever wanted.

...you said they were doing this before working on a patch for "game killing" bugs. I'm not sure who determines what a game killing bug is, but in my opinion, there isn't a game killing bug in the game as I've been able to play and enjoy the game as it stands right now. And if I had to choose one, it would be the excessive holding calls on field goals which is being addressed via the first patch.

And besides, who cares if they were working on this prior to the 2nd patch? Are you that desparate to try and put a negative spin on the DLC that you'll throw anything against the wall in hopes that it will stick?

Listen, you've made your opinion known, you're not a fan of the DLC, we get it. Now, please stop trying to rain on everyone else's parade and let those of us who are excited and buying the DLC discuss it without having to constantly either defend our decision or sift thru you're "educating" posts.

Thanks.

Thanks.

The thing with me is I only really want the Bills white AFL jersey, and I don't feel like spending $7 on some DLC for a game I'm going to trade in once 2k10 and Modern Warfare 2 come out.

This is obviously a money making ploy by ea. Madden in the past has included historic teams free of cost, infact there was several for each team as well as european football league teams. Now, shortly after release they are already asking for money for things that in the past were included in the game. Before a patch, to fix the problems, we have EA asking for moeney for things they purposly kept off the pressed game discs at the time of release.

Just watched the video. Didn't realize there was one. Those unis are looking pretty fly. I'm also not too upset that they're charging for it. Don't really mind it because the game is really good in my opinion.
