That would be like going to a restaurant and having the restaurant ask you what dressing you want on your salad, then after you've eaten you get this extra charge for dressing. It's just going to make people angry. Granted, I'll still play the game, but it's frustrating.
Very similar to my experience with McDonalds about 6 months ago. Been ordering grilled chicken sandwiches with extra barbecue sauce every so often. One day, ordered the extra sauce, 39 cents please. I was very reluctant, but because the sauce was already thrown at me, I paid for it. Never have ordered the extra sauce again. I was angry initially because I didn't know prior to ordering the extra sauce about the extra charge.

At least there is 6 week advance warning on this extra feature.

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.

but how is super-simming from a laptop part of a real NCAA program?

The same way recruiting and viewing your schedule and stats or whatever from your laptop is a real part of an NCAA program. Don't be a stickler you know what he means.

Probably because you're already paying 60 bucks for the game, plus another 5 if you bothered to pre-order it as well.

If you are paying an extra $5 dollars to preorder you are doing it wrong.

If you buy a cell phone and get the basic plan it costs you one thing but once you add on internet, text messaging, pictures, games, etc. it costs you extra.

They aren't charging any more for the game. The game comes with everything you need. Its the extra stuff like simming from your PC (which is not something standard and therefore shouldn't necessarily come with the game) or controlling multiple online dynastys or whatever, those things are what costs extra.

When it comes to video games you see so many people on these boards act like they are entitled to everything and anything they want. That companies are required to include every uniform ever worn and design the game as we see fit. The truth is they make a product and you can choose whether to buy it or not, nobody is forcing you to. They do however try to meet the demands of the consumers to make them happier but that doesnt mean we are entitled to these things.
But cars have always been like that; they only started doing it in video games a few years ago. And I could understand doing it for some other games, but the changes in most sports game are not nearly as substantial from year to year.
