Then remove roster sharing and do a 20 $ downloadable content to basically update rosters for the following year.

That will fill the gap some.

Find creative ways to make sales with downloadable content and go to a 2 year cycle. I doubt it ever happens but I will be in favor of it when the discussion is brought up.

Can you name a single licensed sports title that has a 2 year dev cycle?

I think they are required to release a game every year with the licensing agreement anyway.

What does that have to do with anything? I'm suggesting that EA break precedent with their football game. Sport game companies follow the already established model of selling sports games but that model has contributed to the problems of today. The model was established because people wanted updated rosters and schedules. Well it's 2011, and that can be downloaded so there is no actual need to have a game out every year.

Someone could have asked in the 90s to name one sports game that charged money for Easter eggs or their unlocksble content. You use to be able to earn cheats or enter a code. Now, you but it and download. Times change and I think this change would be best for giving fans what they most want. Complete football experiences with each purchase.
