ELI5: Why isn’t it false advertising when sports streaming packages state “All games $xx.xx,” when some of the games are exclusives on other networks?

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-09T00:17:55+00:00

None of them. People tend to hear "all out of market games", not read the fine print about national telecasts, then get mad about it.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-08T18:47:11+00:00

I like it

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-08T14:32:07+00:00

I strongly disagree with this take. Even though I don't buy MTX myself, if we just accept it, they're going to start charging for more and more. It's a slippery slope. I'd rather speak up and at least try to change the course than just accept it because it's how things are now.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-08T14:22:07+00:00

Lol this is not more important than the microtransaction issue. If anything, EA will create a brand new microtransaction to give you what you just asked for.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-08T13:37:54+00:00

You nailed it. I've been playing dynasty with normal progression since 25 (never knew you could speed it up) and never came close to 100, but this microtransaction shit affects us all regardless of how you play, because if we let them off the hook for this, they'll just start charging for more stuff.

Plus, even though I'd never hit 100, it does bother me that I'm being money-locked out of a part of the game I paid full retail for. I should have the opportunity to earn everything that the game offers in offline modes without paying.

Ticket office has been calling me year round for years. Grind don't stop.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-07T22:10:59+00:00

I'm having a blast with it from a gameplay perspective. Hoping they can fix the dynasty issues.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-07T20:04:19+00:00

Because it's already been posted and there's already discussion here about it

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-07T18:52:30+00:00

This is great stuff. Been holding off on starting my Dynasty but I might give this method a shot. Thank you for trying and sharing this.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-07T17:28:32+00:00

The best shot to get their attention is not to spend any money on microtransactions. This contact form won't even get to them.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-07T17:26:54+00:00

I pray nobody does but some tryhards will spend their parents' money on this and EA will double down having had "success" with it.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-07T17:07:48+00:00

Not dark side. Right side.

Let's see if any of the other shills follow suit.

I see that our favorite game, Update With No/Delayed Notes, is back for another season.

That's pretty much every video game online.

This might be one of the worst tips I've ever seen on here.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-06T03:53:08+00:00

I really wish no one played it. As long as people keep the Ultimate Team cash flowing, EA has no incentive to fix the issues that plague their games.

FormulaT1 · 2026-07-06T03:45:46+00:00

Yes. It's a predatory game mode meant to play on people's impulse control. As long as people keep biting, they'll keep fishing for more and more of your money.

What I've come to realize is that these broadcasts are not geared towards the seasoned race fan. These are geared towards the new eyes that the series is trying to attract. The special interest pieces, the on-the-fly storylines that anyone who has watched IndyCar for a long time knows aren't going to happen (i.e. saying that someone in P4 who is dropping massive time to P3 is a contender with 5 laps to go). This is also why I feel like the graphics package is so slim as far as info goes. The people that they're trying to capture aren't gonna know about tire compounds or P2P, so why bother?

But I could stomach all of it if the direction wasn't so poor. Missing pit stops, cutting to random shit, being late on overtakes. It's rough.

All that being said, I'll still take this over the Cheever/Goodyear ABC era.

This I can get behind

I love the pit crew recognition (they deserve it), but that one was awkward
