    What’s the difference nowadays anyway? In the 2000s you’d at least see actual graphical improvements but surely that’s not really a factor anymore?

      Probably an updated roster, any relevant uniform changes, and multiplayer only works with the current year’s version.

        They disable multiplayer after a year? Really? Why the fuck do people buy this shit? lol

        So really what could and should just be an annual update, they turn into a “new” game and resell it for full price. How/why people buy this shit is beyond me.

          More than that, since it’s just multiplayer that you’re upgrading

          Denuvo doesn’t really matter
