I bought my last copy of madden 2 years ago. Same game every year. I'll just play 2k4 till I die thanks. That's ridiculous of EA to charge for multiplayer. The only time a game should cost extra for multiplayer is if the company will need the money for server upkeep, like many MMORPGs.

DLC is killing games. Pay 60 bucks for a game, then they want you to pay 10-15 bucks MORE for stuff that should have been included.

Yeah. Microsoft encourages it as well. DVD9...lol

But not everyone is charging for it. DLC is fine when free, but to charge.. is ridiculous. But gamers support it when they buy it.

Microsoft doesn't encourage DLC because of DVD9.

Most video in current-gen games is uncompressed and there is untold amounts of duplicate data to help reduce load times.

A current gen game that is 6-7 GB may only have about 2-3 GB worth of information.

Don't fall for Sony's hype about blu-ray.

Developers are getting tired of Gamestop taking a big chunk of their revenue.

how?? The developers got their money for the game already when it was bought the first time. If the consumer decides to sell it, that's their business. EA found a new cow to milk. Nothing more.

So.. if me and a few friends want to go buy some games we haven't yet played, then go to the used section at Gamestop and buy them.

Where does that money go to?

Then why was the 360 version of Final Fantasy 13 on 3 disc? So you think 7 gigs of disc space is fine? And Microsoft did cut corners all around the 360 when making it. So I do believe MS does encourage DLC with DVD9

I honestly see nothing positive about DVD9.

"Don't fall for Sony's hype about blu-ray." Yeah and tell that to their developers...

It goes to Gamestop. I wasn't trying to say otherwise. My point is that once the game was bought at full price from Wally World or Worst Buy, it became the property of the buyer. Also, once he trades it in at Gamestop, he isn't going to play it anymore.

If you buy a car from Bob's Car Lot and sell it a year later, does Bob come after the new owner of the car for more money so he can have the keys to drive it???

This is money grab on the part of EA. Maybe they should try to make more games like BC2 that people won't be looking to get rid of a week after they buy it.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
