I agree with everyone on the post. I asked for and got a refund back on my download. Not everyone wants to be online and its cool for the ones that do. ALOT of us just want to have their own fantasy situation to fulfill their wants. NCAA 2014 was just that and more. I've been told by EA that the price charged by PS+ is Sony's deal but you can't help to feel that this was staged in the early plans of development to make even more $$$ from an eager audience. I bet if everyone returned their games and got a refund ( You have 30 days ) there would be a change. For me, NCAA 14 is a really good game so I'll just play it. Yeah, there are some good improvements as far as stadiums, mascots etc. but lets face it. We all play the game for the realism of game play and everything else is just eye candy. For me, 2014 is the way to go until these money happy developers change the 25 version to where it is at least half as good as 2014.
Adding to my last post, I just wanted to say that I believe the game designers really put a lot into the making of the game. It was the business execs. that came up with the marketing strategy. As good as 2014 was, there was some options not in Teambuilder like the earlier versions. The one I missed the most were pride stickers. I can't help to feel that it is the business execs. from EA that has kind of put a foul smell on this game. Everything just feels so commercialized and less geared toward a faithful fan base. Sub par of Madden games have been rolled out over the years with very little thought to us end users. I mean I get it, ok. When you make a good game there is only so many "New" things that can be added. But then again, EA has never really listened to it's buyers. When they have a monopoly on the entire sports games and there is literally no competition, they just crank out whatever they want to. For all of you who don't intend on getting a refund, I really hope EA makes Teambuilder teams available for offline dynasty. I don't like having my choices limited or completely taken away. So for now, it's 2014 for me.
