Madden 17 on Xbox 360

I bought Madden 17 for Xbox 360 expecting updates and enhancements similar to years past. Once I began playing, I realized that 360 owners have basically been kicked to the curb.  Since Madden is really the only game I play anymore, I haven't really needed to buy an Xbox One.  With minimal new solo challenges on Ultimate Team and zero weekly challenges, there is virtually no difference from the last 3 Maddens.  The game banners and gameplay are completely identical to past years.  Whenever I play this game I feel like I'm not getting the same treatment that other console owners are.  Since I bought the game I have seen the link on this site that says 3rd Gen consoles will get no content for their money.  No customer that pays $60 for a video game should have to run to a website and check for disclaimers about their game containing less than half the content that was promoted.

    In looking through the forums for posts like this one, I've noticed that the more general and banal your phrasing, the more likely it is you'll get a generic response from EA with links to their disclaimers. Posts like yours, thoughtfully worded posts expressing deep disappointment and a tinge of regret at buying half a game, don't get responses. Because there is no response. Gen 3 Madden gamers are the red headed step children of the Madden demographic. (Pardons to any red headed step children reading this) Not giving us live updates and new content , or even just new player sets, could be viewed as EA holding up a big warning sign that says they're going to force our hand in the next year or two and drop Gen 3 completely. Then we'll have to upgrade, but by the time we do that there will be a PS5 already on the horizon so we'll still be behind . . . smh . . . I wish information like this was featured more prominently in write ups and literature. I feel like proper notification with a proper price tag would alleviate a lot of people's disappointment.
