So what does that mean? For example they'd release one copy of Madden and every year you just pay like $20 or 30 bucks for the upgraded rosters, tweaks and that type of thing via updates?

Wonder if they can improve graphics via updates. Well if they're doing a once a year thing I suppose they could.

I've been saying forever that's what they should do.

EDIT: Jesus Christ those ****ers are annoying as shit! How can anyone get through a whole video? Ugh.
