itunes.apple.comForgot to mention there are IAP

As soon as you see "EA" and "free" you know there will be IAP.

EA's Mirror's Edge [iOS] was free for one week last month. No IAP. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12 was free in December. No IAP.
But generally yes, when you see a new Tier 1 game title released for free, it's gonna have IAP.

But this isn't even Tier 1, this is released as a free app, plainly designed with IAP in mind.

By "Tier 1", I simply mean a top-level, extremely well known, branded game. Madden NFL fits that.

A soon as you see FREE there will be IAP. 90% of the time

Only $99 for the All Madden Bundle?
A bargain at twice the price, i'm sure.

I started the download. Went to read the comments and immediately deleted the game half way through the download.

They completely ruined this game due to in app purchasing.
Can you explain what the IAPs do? Is there a basic mode that you can play without IAPs?
It's pretty much a way for developers to make a lot more money, so instead of having a set price, they do things like this.

If you read the TA review linked further down, it says that there is an "energy" currency that restricts your play even in single player, as well as a "pay to win button" in single player. Also it seems to be pretty much impossible to play multiplayer without constantly buying players and plays.
