Buy Your Way Through Madden 10

Go Gaming Giant takes a look at a new feature in Madden 10 that lets you buy your way through the game.

Good story. Keep up the good work.

[Maddens Raiders]

::kicks self in nads::

I just complimented them the other day on coming full circle and they haul off and have total fkn recall.

Un - believable.

[JIN KAZAMA]

Whats up dude, I broke my Ps3 man, so the last time you see my login on PS3, is the last time it was on. I dropped that shhitt real bad, and its gone. I will be getting a new one once they have the slim, I have been waiting on that one. Keep me on your list fool.

[Mini Mario]

Looks like EA is going a bit EXTREME for DLC...(ish). Couldnt they just put in cheat codes? I mean seriously.

[muddy9494]

Cant believe EA is doing this..

[-Mezzo-]

Agreed.

[Kamikaze8]

didnt believe it when I first heard it. this really needs to stop.

[poindat]

They've done it before with Burnout and some other games, although I have to agree, this is pretty extreme.

Sort of on this subject, remember when cheat codes were FREE? Those were the days (lol). I find it pretty disgusting that we have to pay to cheat, and not to have fun either, just to get through the game. Last-gen cheats need to be brought back, where they were free and made the game more fun... not just skipped us through the game.

[Zinc]

Game Shark and Game Genie... those were the days.

They should make a Life Shark. Don't like the amount of money in your bank account? Input a code and get 999999 dollars.

Boss giving you a hard time? Make him disappear with a simple press of a few buttons... and a rocket launcher.

Up yours normal course of events, it's my turn to get a piece of the pie... and eat it.

[Berdy]

This would be retarded cuz ill be tempted to cheat & I dont wanna cheat.

[Carl1412]

Haha. This is the stupidest thing i have ever seen...

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Why would you want to do this?

Isn't the point of Madden to put together a great team and then try and beat all the others?

Isn't that the point of football in general? Or any other sport for that matter?

[evrfighter]

Screw the sportsmanship, money is above all.

That has been the message being spoon fed to us for the past decade or so....And not just in video games.

This is what happens when companies see each other successfully exploiting the consumers. If MW2 sets records. Don't think other devs won't notice.

[Taco_Waffle]

to the rest of the world that they're still the King of nickel and dime business tactics.

[nomoregameblogs]

EA is doing this because they know they can get away with it. regardless people will still flock out to buy Madden NFL 10.

[evrfighter]

there they are! I knew EA wouldn't stand idle while Activision took the "Douchebags Of The Gaming Market" crown.

[cybervike]

They did the same thing with Tiger 2010 and NCAA 2010.....I refuse to buy that crap. If this is the future of EA sports games I may consider an alternative or just stop buying their games altogether. This is the first time in about 9 years I will not be buying a Madden game.

[RockmanII7]

So your giving up on a franchise because it has DLC?

[ryano23277]

No different than maps for shooters, or clothes for characters.

Do you think that EA would be doing this, if it weren't successful in other games. If people buy them, then they will always be there. If not, then they won't be back next year. So yes, they will be back next year.

Like poindat said above, some (Madden) players can't play the game without using cheats, so this might be the best feature in Madden for them.

The only worthwhile DLC is Music, because of rights. You could argue that extra missions like Fallout 3 is acceptable, but the rest are milking us.

[Go Gaming Giant]

I think it was a fine idea to do this, if you wanna do it then fine if you don't then you don't have to

[RockmanII7]

Agreed. Not getting this doesn't take away from the game. Now if it was like a stadium that should be on the disk like the Pro Bowl Stadium, I'd understand. But this is just basically buying cheat codes.

[Darren_y2]

Sounds a bit like day light robbery to me

[Zinc]

This is perfect for the failed armchair jock trying to relive his glory days, but just doesn't have the time to do it the right way. Why sweat the small stuff, when you have the big stuff crammed disturbingly close to the exit only, severe tire damage section of your being?

Hey, at least something's big down there... and with it, you can cause your enemies to crumble in fear at your fantasy football skills completely realized, in yet another fake setting.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Wait, so you can make it easier to complete trophies by giving EA money? My goodness..

[Shnazzyone]

now lets see if people are honestly stupid enough to ensure it is totally not worthwhile to play the game they just bought by paying more money. Oh well guess you get advantages online.... or something.

[thatruth2006]

I think that if you are the kind of person that will buy DLC the improves your odds of success then you will buy it and if you aren't then you won't. Simple as that.

[Tounge73]

well i just checked and most packs are only 40 points , but the bottom ones can get up to ~800pts.

[Hercules]

maybe this is a way to point out cheaters..who knows? most madden fans wont even bother to get this..i dont get it, you can get on EA for supplying you with cheats for money (not stadiums, jerserys, etc) but its ok if MW2, KZ2 have different guns for DLC..that is ok? please dont be a hypocrite

[asdr3wsfas]

This immersive video game feature teaches the gamer the relationship between irl results and money in a way that makes them feel like they're actually wasting it.

[thegreatest7884]

Its completely unnecessary. Remember when the Madden cheats used to be playing cars that you used to make the goal posts wider and stuff like that? Why should I pay for these when they had them for free in the past?

[gooneygugu]

It's like Mission Impossible, EA just pulled off it's face to reveal it's really Activision.
