    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.

        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
