Well that I agree with. Madden games offer more in each game than what is originally being discussed, which is a character change for the same game being released. Doesn't each new Madden have a theme every year? I don't play them, but I ask because the same may hold true for SmackDown vs RAW games. Those I do buy and every year it seems like the same thing with minor changes, aside from a roster that tries to reflect the current one more accurately and the inclusion of different legends. I think the changes are enough to warrant a new game, but I personally don't like to spend $60 on the next game just for minor tweaks. I rather wait for good price drops, incentives, or deals.
But in the case of releasing a new game with a change that can be done via DLC is stupid. It's not stupid, for instance, if the change is just to attract a bigger audience. That way, for those who never bought either copy, will have a choice of which one to buy if they decide to. For current owners, it's an annoyance. DLC would better suit the issue.
