You know I read that somewhere and I forgot. Good to hear it from someone within EA.
It kinda stinks to buy a $70 game and it comes old... but the only alternative would be to release your game after the season starts. Which would be equally crazy.
Thank you so much for being an active responder to these things. I know ya'll get a lot of flack for the game. I appreciate having my questions answered within a couple hours of asking. That is a really quick turnaround time. Makes me glad I paid full price for this thing.
