Taking this approach as well. But similar to the recent blurbs about presentation in both games, it's at the minimum encouraging to see they are trying to address areas that have been issues for years. The note mentions momentum not just for tackles, but for collisions as well. In an ideal scenario, it would translate to more visually appealing animations.

They can't do that. EA sends the same box to every retailer (already wrapped)...that is why people will sometimes buy a game (when they find it early) and return the preorder they buy from GS to that retailer (or vice versa). GS just adds a code to the end of the receipt and you have to log onto their site to get another code to enter in the game. They did this for MLB 10 The Show, when it came to getting free Stadiums. Same is true for this years free month of MLB.TV. GS will continue to screw themselves by doing this.

Right after finally building up some positive vibes for 12 with a very impressive sizzle trailer EA had to go and crush that momentum with their nickel and dime tactics :
These PC Uniforms are a part of the upcoming season so they should be a part of the game. They should be available for free for all customers. You wanna sell MUT and Dynasty cheats go ahead but don't sell us uniforms. :

Not preordering unless I see a major improvement on the defensive side of the ball.

I already preordered it on Amazon with credit I have occurred. This doesn't surprise me EA did this. As long as I don't have to pay for them I don't care but it's pretty dumb.

Whine, whine, whine.

EA/GS aren't asking you or anyone else to pay one penny over retail for these items. To claim this is "nickle and dime tactics" is nonsense.

Oh, and one more thing--If it's like NCAA 11 these will actually be the PC's from the previous year, so they really aren't "a part of the upcoming season".

Not everybody wants to pre-order. Some actually like to play the full game before making a decision. And not everyone can pre-order from GS either. I live in germany and ncaa is not available through gamestop here. And yes its not confirmed that these will be pay DLC for people who didn't pre-order from GS but why do you think they won't do that?

And I don't think its whining to expect alternate unis to be in the game with no strings attached when thats the way it used to be with EA Sports. And its still the way their competitors operate.
