They could sell it as a separate service or DLC or not provide this feature at all. I doubt it costs EA nothing to produce these updates. There are developers/programmers, servers, bandwidth, maintenance, administration.
The game should be just as enjoyable without an updated roster.
I still play and enjoy Tecmo Super Bowl.
I fail to see how EA is controlling the used game market by doing this.[/quote]
God damn. Do I have to spell it out for you? It is because EA is doing it. If they are doing it, it must be bad.
