If you had no issue with it, you wouldn't be defending it so vehemently. The fact that you are defending it so aggressively shows that you do, in fact, have an issue with it in one way or the other. Don't lie to yourself.

it's great isn't it? I don't see how that isn't a legit source but this same guy who is discrediting your post is saying he talked to 2K devs and that is legit? lol I think we are just getting trolled in this whole thread.

EA got the exclusivity in 2004, so they obviously pressed for it in 2004. Also, they tried to get the NBA exclusivity too (because 2K again was crushing them and starting to take away market share) http://sports.ign.com/articles/574/574539p1.html

Thank god the NBA denied it. I wish the NFL did the same.

I guess this isn't a legit source either though.

I don't get the vitriol for EA when they are doing the exact same thing just about every business in the free world is. EA deserves a lot of the criticism they get, but damn....

It actually will prevent me from playing because let's say I'm on my XBOX at 1:00 and all games are finished I can't go and play my next weeks game because my commish needs to pay $3 to advance the dynasty remotely. Whereas if he paid that fee I wouldn't be prevented from playing.

And EA is not doing the exact same thing as the rest of the free world because they have a monopoly on the NCAA and NFL console football sports gaming business. AT&T can not buy out every cell tower in the world. McDonald's can't buy out the entire meat inventory. Comcast can't buy out the entire cable industry.

They bought out the competition for a huge amount of money and now in order to recoup that money they need to charge for features that should be in the $60 game. Period.

Problem is the gamespot article didn't give any actual info. Nothing. It was a single line mention with no actual info.

I got opposite info directly from the horses mouth at VC. If that's not good enough for you then so be it.
