I hate the Raiders, but those throwbacks they're wearing tonite are pretty sharp!

Yes, you can turn it off. No need to read the 30 pages, just read the first post.

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.

I wouldn't go as far to say that.. This is actually pretty good DLC and the NFL Europe (I think that's what it was called) closed down maybe 2 years ago along with the AFL that folded this offseason.

For all those complaining about paying.... have you not noticed what the NFL is doing?

The entire AFL thing is a big sales gimmick.

They've made it a point to show as many commercials as they can during the games about the NFL Legacy line and all of the stuff you can buy with the old logos on them. Charging for AFL logos/content on Madden fits in quite nicely with all the other crap the NFL is selling.

They could have paid tribute to the AFL with nothing more than jersey patches and no one would have complained. Instead, they go out and stick old logos on everything they can think of to try to bring in even more money. For all we know, the NFL could have told EA to make the content separate after it had originally been planned to be on disc.

My response was "Due to the fact this is being released before a patch" proves to me that they were working on this before a patch that fixed the many gameplay problems in the game. A patch that adds superbowl and playoff art to the field in online franchise is not as important to me, or many many others here I'm sure, as fixing the flat patterns, franchise stats, pursuit angles, toe drag logic, challenges, etc. that are being fixed in a patch that is being worked on now. Answer all your questions?

Not really. But let me clarify:
1) Thanks for the quote - but that's not what I was looking for. I was looking for where EA said it waould be free and/or included at no charge. Maybe that wasn't clear. The fact that they announced this in March doesn't connect with me as to why this should be free.
2) That's cool that you can do uniform edits on the PC and all - but again...until you can document what the console process is - it's not proof. Not to mention the color filter, presentation add ons, madden moments and extra achievements. You don't know long those take.
3) The DLC comes out on 9/22. The 1st patch was submitted weeks ago. One does not take away from the other. I still don't get your point. More to the fact - if the DLC content was announced in March - it REALLY doesn't take away from the patch even more so.

But we can argue that stuff all day. At the end of the day - it really is unimportant. The first patch has already been completed and it's beyond EA's control when it will be released. They confirmed on this site - and is usual practice - they wait on the second patch to see what the overwhelming concerns of the community are before deciding what goes into it. The DLC doesn't take away from that at all.

If you are unhappy with the game - so be it. But DLC such as this in NO way takes away and or prevents the improvements to the game.

Damn...after watching last night's games and seeing the jerseys, I cannot wait until the 24th, so that I can download these badboys.

Those Raider AFL jerseys, were sick! Unfortunately, we're still the Raiders underneath them.

Also my comments about the patch related to the DLC is in direct correlation to the post that was asked to me "How do I know this was being worked on before a patch?". It is pretty easy to realize that this was being worked on prior to the patch that will be fixing AI, flats passing, pursuit angles, and plenty of other game killing bugs that make the gameplay ridiculously unrealistic. I KNOW this because this is coming out prior to the patch.

Congratulations.

Now goodbye... and have a good one...

And there you have it.

Everything is about making money. That's the whole point of a business.

The sooner people realize it, the sooner threads like this will be cut in a third with much less complaining.
