Re: New Features Aren’t All Free in NCAA Football 12

People do not realize this day in age that DLC is going to be prominent in most games going forward.

Why?

Because companies are tired of people trading in games and having most people get it cheaper used then paying retail price.

This will put a hamper on buying used games if you want to get the full affect of what the game offers.

Those buying it used will have to pay $10 for online pass and extra to get the perks which then comes out to companies not losing money to those buying it used.

Giants Natic, It isn't because of that at all, in my opinion. It's because they know they can charge for this "extra" stuff and people will pay for it and even be happy and praise EA to pay for it.

If the community could possibly band together and not pay for it and simply refuse to pay for it it might change things. But that is not even the overwhelming view of the OS population so I can only imagine what the rest of the world thinks on this issue as OS is usually the older, sim crowd who can stand up to charging for recruiting advisers, uniforms, etc.

If you know people will pay, and even moreso if you know people will be happy to pay, there is no reason not to charge.

Re: New Features Aren’t All Free in NCAA Football 12

Are these supposed to be the "big reveal" we've been waiting for, or was it the presentation stuff? I'm a little unsure of what else they could come out with at E3

Re: New Features Aren’t All Free in NCAA Football 12

This stuff used to bother me. But it is becoming the norm. Companies are looking for new ways to generate revenue. I can't fault a company for trying to turn a profit. I have no problem with these fee's so long as there are no prolonged server issues.

That said, if companies continue this practice they will eventually price some gamers out of the market completely.

If they charge extra for features that are part of a real NCAA College football program, then they should NOT be a DLC and should not charge extra. If they charge extra for things outside of a real NCAA College Football program, like cheats, then go ahead and charge extra.

If EA is going to start charging extra for things that should ALREADY be in the game, then eventually, we will see the same game be released for 60 every year and be charged for any and all new features.

We are already paying 60 for it.

Exactly. That and I believe that they are actually providing us with a service that is worth paying for. I can kind of agree that it shouldn't be touted as a "new feature" but, rather DLC since it's not free. But, tomato, tomatoe...

Re: New Features Aren’t All Free in NCAA Football 12

The one thing I am errked about is the spending money to advance the dynasty, its essentialy $3 for a administrative tool.

That being said I think the ability to sim games on your PC is well worth and even more so, if they were to put out a Android/iOS app as well
