They also make you think that satellite is so much cheaper and has no problems and the whole world will be better, but you’re gonna pay if you want lots of stuff.

I haven’t bought this year’s Madden because I am sadistically addicted to the NCAA series, which is worse because they don’t let EA use the real names and they have hardly changed anything in three years. But I keep buying it.

I am a Redskins fan living in Boston, so I have DirecTV and pay for not only the Sunday Ticket, but also the Super Fan (because I want to be able to watch the games in high def). Since DirecTV is the only provider offering this, they charge a ridiculous amount of money for it. Why not spread the wealth and let other cable and satellite providers offer all of the games as well?

And while we are it, why not look into EA Sports exclusive contract with the NFL, which makes it so that the Madden franchise is the only one that can use the actual names of players and teams. Let’s create some competition for Madden so that they can’t simply make a few minor changes to their game each year and then charge us all $70 to buy the new version, when in essence all we are really getting are updated rosters.
