Re: Ads in Games: Thoughts, Rants, Etc.?

I don't even mind the King so much because its a bit of an easter egg/unlockable. I find deporable is how they put the freakin' car right next to the ringside and the laser lights in the background are projecting Dodge logos on the audience. I don't think I've seen either of these at any sports venues.

Having the Everlast/Armour gear is great and I don't even mind the occasional sponsorship announcement or event. But Dodge golves and sneakers? When you go to your trophy room and there's a video ad of the Dodge Calibur (none of the other trophies have anything like it) as a "reward", I think they've gone too far.

I think EA thought they could get away with a lot given the context of a sports event, but they made it more into a realtiy show than sports venue. Its the one major blot on a otherwise amazing game.
