Personally, I think this is one of the dumbest/most lame additions EA could have made to this game. It is such a letdown after they promoted a fun new online mode, and then this ended up being the surprise. I have been playing fifa since 94 on sega genesis where 30 yard shots were lethal with west germany, and nothing more had me excited for this game than the possibility of having EA Sports LEague like NHL will have this fall.
I expected it to be included, but I was disappointed when i saw that this lame "live season" was the big new feature. I mean who the hell cares if the players are going to be updated once a week? The winter update is enough for me, and Im sure more than a few others agree. It doesnt affect the manager mode and it gives people an advantage online becuse they can just turn off the dumb updates if ronaldo is playing badly, or missing the beginning of the season with injury like he is now.
I dont care that it costs money, because I will not be paying for more leagues to update. I don't want to choose one league to update anyways since I choose teams from more than one different league in the game when playing online. Live season is just another stupid, lame gimmick to get gullible customers to dump more money into this product.
However, I will buy the game since the gameplay looks to be stellar so far, but I will be sorely disappointed that my room mate will be enjoying EA Sports League with his created hockey player, and making his way into all star games. Adidas live season is a DUMB idea, and I hope it fails miserably because who the hell cares about weekly player updates that only affect online play. I want my be a pro online career, dammit.
