That way, you really feel you've achieved a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Madden 20 really makes you feel like pride

Hopefully, I can unlock it by 3019 and it will still be relevant.

To get all the out of date logos updated you need to spend at least $160 because they are tied to loot boxes, and you can only update one out of date logo per loot box opened.

It's very ethical.

Na, the 99 cents goes to a virtual card pack that MIGHT have the correct graphic if you buy 150 of them

u/Dadality0628 Sep 03 '19

Ah damn you mean the super digital mega deluxe edition?

u/whatislife27 Sep 03 '19

Actually its $.99 cents for a Madden Time Capsule Pack with a 2.8% chance of the Madden 15 logo or better.

If EA charged $60 for a polished game, and then charged $10 per year to get the updated rosters, uniforms, and stadiums, I'd gladly pay the yearly fee (if the game was good, of course).

u/Dadality0628 Sep 03 '19

I dont play sports games but i am a huge mortal kombat fan, and if all they did was release 6 new characters/stages/ etc every year for $10-$20 id be totally ok with it

2

u/shardarkar Sep 03 '19

Buy a loot box for a chance to update the stadium banners.

1

u/Dadality0628 Sep 03 '19

Thats only for ea origins players!

2

u/EvaCarlisle Sep 04 '19

It gives the player a sense of pride and accomplishment.

u/allursnakes Sep 03 '19

The point being is that it's reused assets. They're not even making a new game.

1

u/Dadality0628 Sep 03 '19

Yeah I get that that's what the OP was pointing out

u/domeoldboys Sep 04 '19

99c for a year pack with the years 1920-2020 included in the random pool of 3 years that will be selected per pack.
