    Yeah I've heard about this.

    EA is being sued because of it.

    I thought everyone knew of that crud. Im not even going to become interested in the game on the grounds of that stuff.

    Just like pro street, not even worth pirating.

    Anyway, try this:

    And remember to boycott Sony with me. Yes, they make that garbage, and the rest of their stuff is garbage too. You guys should see my Sony head unit I bought ~3 years ago now, the buttons on it seem to do totally random functions for some reason.

    Apparently you still need the license code to play it, but some people are selling license codes and recommending the pirated copy to use it with!!
