Madden NFL 10 Announces AFL Legacy Pack, Screenshots and Video Available

Also, how about the cover story of them "not knowing" about the AFL 50th anniversary until late in the development cycle? You think this package was just dreamed up recently???? Really?

If you see it on Sunday, we'll make you pay for it.

EA Sports - It's in the game, for a price.

Uniform whore rant over. This uniform guy will have to pass on principle.

They're actually making us pay for this? Wow.

I guess when you have a exclusive license and is the only company that's allowed to make a NFL video game, you can charge us for anything.

But seriously I guess this is a cool addition for the cats that don't mind paying for stuff like this.

Thanks alot EA, I already shore out enough money to you jerks. The NFL annouced the Legacy Uniforms way before this game was released. The uniforms were on the Yahoo Blog Shutdown Corner in like March or April. Sounds to me like this was planned the whole way!

I beg to differ on the nobody would complain part. Throwbacks are a cool way to pay homage to previous years of a franchise.

As a Raiders fan, I need to get this because I'm sick of having 3 options for Raiders uniforms in every freaking football game (except the 2K Series). I love those Raiders throwbacks, and I plan on buying this. As a matter of fact, I'm buying a replica, too.

I noticed some AFL related achievements in the list for the PS3 tonight.

No, as has been stated many times, it is jerseys that are being worn by teams in their regular season games this year. It should be in the game for free like their normal game day jerseys are. I should be able to replicate the NFL season with the software I bought on Madden 2010 release day. I shouldn't have to pay $7 to get the uniforms. If they want to charge for everything else other than the uniforms that's fine with me, I won't buy it. But I should get uniforms that are being worn during the respective teams' regular season games.

You ask me what is the point of a business. I responded with ... well ran long standing businesses make their bank on correct market pricing, a well made product, and they give value to their customer that makes the customer feel appreciated and like they are getting their money's worth. EA has not done this in anyway and are now charging well above market value for this product (unis,madden moments, oldtime filter). That is how it has bearing on this issue, because you brought it up.

And obviously customers coming back is not their concern, which is why they are charging for things that should be options in the game disc. They know you HAVE to come back which is why they bought the license in the first place. However now you see their sales are declining which means some people aren't buying into the BS they spew year after year. I might have to join them next year the way this is going...
