Could EA's CFB be the first to make a legit case for a bi-annual release?

And, if so, would you be willing to pay extra for it? If you would, how much extra? Curious as it seems that this game has so much to it that it may make that case.

The issue, of course is why would EA publish a game every two years and not take that every-year money.

So if you say it makes the case, how should EA do it to make up that revenue loss from an annual release?

I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts..

Every sports game *could* make a case to skip a year.

The studios that own them make a case to make money every year.

So no, no sports game is going to be a bi-annual release.

Would I be willing to pay more? Yes.

Would it benefit the games in development? Probably.

Will it ever happen? No chance.

I would support this wholeheartedly. They could charge $35 for a roster update during the off year and then charge 90 for the game every 2byrs. It could work and the game would flourish.

Would love that. But it won't happen. Particularly if this is as successful as we think it will be. Money, money, money.

[Playmakers]

No way in hell would I pay extra for a game that I can't have full editing ability over my own rosters.

I think a two year cycle would be good for gameplay though.

But you can't lock out things and then charge extra money for the game.

Not sure if I am going to buy the game each and every year. With college I could care less about roster updates, and I am not confident enough they can add something in that is a "must have feature"

I played 14 for a decade, sure it was because I had no other choice, but I can for sure do a bi-annual purchase and not miss out on too much.

I wouldn't pay extra for the initial release but if they did a major update (obviously rosters, but there would need be more than just that), then I would consider purchasing that update. I wish develpers would do that for all sports games but I can't see anyone being brave enough to be the first to try. Certainly not EA being the first.
