NBA Live 10 Screws Gamers

I MUST rant about this...Why is EA charging players 1200 Microsoft points to download the Dynamic DNA feature for NBA 10 on Xbox 360? This is being touted as a CORE GAMEPLAY FEATURE, yet they are charging extra for it! Now, I jumped off the NBA Live bandwagon for good back in 2003 and haven't looked back since (hello NBA 2K) but I'm still infuriated that they are gouging gamers who put down $60 (plus tax) for the game that was advertised, ALL features included. Every bit of press I have seen for Live this year has revolved around the Dynamic DNA feature and not once was an extra fee mentioned. Frankly,this is some bulls***! Personally, I think it's a stupid gimmick that probably won't mean a whole lot to the actual gameplay. That is all the more reason to include it in the game's package price.

I am concerned that stuff like this will start a horrible trend. Why not charge extra for the playoffs, EA? Why not create games with a quarter of the levels that would normally be included, charge full price, and wait until the day before the game is released to put 3 more quarters of the game up for download and charge $16 a piece...

More than ever, I implore people NOT TO BUY NBA LIVE 10! If you really must (I understand because I loves me some video b-ball) then don't fall into EA's trap and pay extra for the Dynamic DNA feature. You're only hurting yourself in the long-run as the trend will continue if these greedy companies know that you'll pay extra for content that should be included in the retail price.

Quit your whining and get your facts straight. A free code for dynamic DNA is included with every NEW copy of NBA Live 10. The only people getting the shaft are those who buy it used. Want to know why? Because developers make no money off used games, Gamestop/whoever is selling it used makes 100% of the profits. I don't blame them for doing stuff like this. But next time you go on a rant saying how evil EA is do your research, please. Btw here's a link for the proof that it's free for new copies:http://www.operationsports.com/forums/nba-live/359936-dynamic-dna-pricing.html

Thanks for clearing that up SimoSays2541but you may want to try not being a douche next time.

Hes kind of right in a way...Ea is doing the dlc thing for all there games..Sucking cash dryfor a time that the econemy is very bad..Now is not the time to charge for evdry thing..Maybe when times are better,Ill even question those methods though..Ea is watching every other game with dlc..Now even the sims 3 has a store for dlc which in my book is rediculas..There game sells millions now, why do you need to make more cash from a store?You already have the core game plus expansions an stuff packs..

Its not just nba live 10..Its all ea games of late this year..They have seen a way to make a dollar an are trying to rip people off..Sure games are out to make devs cash..Why rake in more cause you can..Mind you i dont mind if a game has dlc..Ill pay an extra 20 bucks for dlc for dragon age or a game like that from ea...Thats a different kind of story though..Its sort of a expansion..You dont have to download it how ever..It adds to the game..Ea is just raking in cash from players...Madden 10 has a store now also..Its bad when you have to pay for the better coaching staff or some thing like that..Its got to stop some place..

I can dig that. No harm, no foul. It's good to get the proper info out. I have no issues with EA in general as I have tons of their games. I suppose it makes sense for EA to charge for extra for a used copy though. I was misinformed on the issue of charging for the sevice for new copies.
