3vs3 competition

We know we have we can buy:

• Boostables (dozens?)
• Consumables (dozens?)
• DLC (unknown)
• Online Pass ($10 for used gamers)

Just think, less than a year ago we had none of those things. Thank you Peter Moore. You've so improved Madden.

Will I still be able to drive a car when I'm digitized?

I just hope they dont come back like 3 or 4 months after the release of Madden 11 claiming that they have finished up some things in Franchise Mode because they actually have been working on it since Madden 10 released and then offer them for DLC.That would stink.

"....it allows me to be able to take further advantage of that consumer over a longer period of time," he said

Today,June 16,2010,is the first time I have ever seen this.I got halfway through this thread before I even realized it was first posted back in March.How could any self respecting consumer still legitimately purchase this game and put $1 dollar in Peter Moores' or EAs' pockets?

There is no way I will ever purchase ANY EA Sports title again in a way that will profit EA as long as this guy is still there.

I believe in strong principles and that you respond in kind.If people running a company are shrewd but meet their obligation with their product I can respect that and will be shrewd with my purchase but meet my obligation as a consumer.Likewise,when someone running a company comes right out and states their intention is to "take further advantage" of me with their product,I will attain their product with the intention of taking advantage of them.

It was a poor choice of words but I think you know what he meant. He mean get the maximum profit out of the consumer by providing an extension to the product after the initial purchase. I have no issue with any company that wants to maximize their profits so long as I'm getting what I feel is a fair product in return. After all, a company that doesn't maximize profits soon finds itself in bankruptcy.

Im all for making money and American free enterprise which my bolded statement confirms.However,when you take his "poor choice of words" and combine it with some of EAs' poor choice of actions concerning Madden 11,it seems evident it's all calculated to continue to make EA rich from an intentionally half-arsed product,at our expense,IMO.
