I totally agree. Why not just release a core game and then do roster updates. It makes so much sense. This is why I refuse to by new sports games. In the past they had an excuse (no online or ability to update). However, now it would be very easy to do this. The reasoning Is likely that they make more money this way, afterall lots of people do buy it for $60 a pop, and that ultimately $20 for roster updates would mean that it would cut a 2/3 of their profits each year. However that assumes that everyone would have bought it already and that there would be no new sales each year. It could just be on the shelves selling for $60 all year and never go down. I have always wondered how many people wait until the new version is out and just buy the last one for dirt cheap or used. This would take care of that problem as well. It would also free up the madden team to work on other games that might go on to make EA more money.
