True, but that goes to waste when they release the next yearly game. That would actually be more profitable if you just buy one game and never buy another disk afterward. '13 becomes '14 that becomes '15, etc.

madden updates every week during the season. the nba 2k series i believe updates every day or at least every week as well.

Wait, isn't that why they make a new one every year?

Yeah, like this actually ever happens...

See, this one's actually kinda funny because I find it a little difficult to believe. We're gonna need just a bit more support on this one. :(

Always viewed this more as a patch or game update than an actual DLC piece.

Sports games release every year, when a new game come out they still support the game from last year or forget about them?? I don't know i don't play a sports game for a while.

i'm no fan of sports games so i don't know

Yeah, but EA would rather release a whole new game with updated stats.
