EA's next level of ridiculousness - Season Pass

[bucky]

Nope. You probably won't have release day rosters either.

I thanked the guy (nevermind) because I thought he was joking. I hope he was joking about the patch.

I believe this was a topic in the arcade board almost a month or 2 ago
It was a lil shocking to see that EA had beaten activisions cod:elite program to the punch...

Here's the link

sidenote.. COD ELITE is a POS too. I knew this was where we were heading when DLC came around. Instead of building quality games with new features/modes etc to get the consumer to buy the game they just are rehashing old games and tacking on add ons. Milk milk milk.

My stomach hurts from reading people over on OS try to explain how this is a "good deal." Or maybe it's because I need some lunch. lol

Fuck this ticket. I'll stick to the free demo.

yeah rynoaids and the guy who created leaguemanager are jumping on anyone who thinks they have a right to criticize the program.

Season Pass Details.

What you pay? $25
What you get? A 3 day free(lol ?) early play of games like Madden, NHL and FIFA. You can download the whole 5-6GB games and then they lock upon release day where you have to buy the disc from the store. Your saves n shit will carry over.
You also get a 20% discount on buying virtual coins and other useless EA sports shit.

They've also suggested things like TeamBuilder (NCAA), Creation Centre (FIFA) will be included in this package, meaning future additions to these features won't be given for free any longer.


Good grief...

Wow, i read this and almost groaned the post cuz i was so pissed. Almost shot the messenger, i'm sorry.

You got to wonder where this is going?

Is this the end of EA Sports demos?

The sad part about everything is that the NFL thinks that EA makes a good football game.

Note to NFL: They don't.


I'm going back to Pong! Nobody can screw that up

I hate both those games, and STILL don't think its as bad as this shit. I mean at least you get something of value there. With this? Nothing but a super demo.

EA would find a way.

Ultimately it will be up to us to determine if this fails or succeeds. Big Business feeds off the uneducated and financially irresponsible consumer.

I'm betting someone like my cousin, the typical 'Dude Bro' gamer that you always hear bout, will buy this. All he really plays is CoD and Madden and he has already said he will pay for CoD Elite. Fucking retard.

Dude, you can not be fucking serious? I know that most of teh guys at OS are serious fucking fanboys but even they can't honestly think this is a good idea.

I still have an account there even though I haven't posted in probably years. I'm tempted to go there and start shit.

Map packs I understand.....there is replay value out of that (though I hate that a lot of playlists on COD and Halo lock up if you dont get the new maps.) I even understand it for people who really only play one genre of games (or even one or two games.....there are gamers who do nothing but play COD and Halo.) But that is not a large percentage of gamers. I play a lot of games from Madden to Fallout to Call of Duty to various strategy games. I'm not shelling out money for DLC for all of them. And I most certainly won't pay to get a game early, especially if I have to buy the game on top of it.
