I had a friend who had SDVs.R 06...I think... and he finally decided that he'd get 07, because the price point was good for him. There were some differences in the roster and the customizability of the characters, but that's it. Heck, the menu music was the exact same set of songs...I know because it invaded my my psyche as I tried to create my own characters.
To an extent DLC is enough for roster tweaks. But then think about how many Gigs of space you'd need to give every one new attires or character models who require new changes like tattoos, hair styles, entrance changes, music changes, new arenas, a different season mode, etc. This is why a new game is welcomed. There's enough new content to warrant a new game. Speaking of '06 to '07, changes were nothing compared to what came in '08. '09 seemed like a beefed up '08. '10 felt like a better game because now you had a better engine and new additions like highlight reel which is like forge in Halo. '11 felt a lot like '10 but again it had worthy changes. For gamers who've followed the franchise, we like to complain because it all feels so similar. Maybe the problem is that we shouldn't get these games every year, if not, every 1 1/2 - 2 years. We get spoiled yearly and complain a lot.
