Is it the TYPE of DLC/additional content?
In non sport game terms charging for horse armour is leaching... charging for blood and wine dlc expansion is cool!
In cricket terms charging for just licensed kits or players would be uncool especially if it places restrictions in academy but something like say a well made scenario based career mode for licensed players as an dlc like being able to relive the exciting moments and knocks of bradman or Abd or a pack of scenarios etc would be a supplement get it if you want it kind at the same time would be value to those who are into it!
The thing with sports games is i dont think there are many meaningful ways to have Dlc's that dont leech the buyer, especially considering the vast bandwidth BA cover with academy in almost every area, now given that they are bringing in a stadium creator, even stadium packs are out of question! They can try zombies though always works Dhoni Saving MCG from being run over by zombies as Pieterson chucks exploding cup cakes to hit
Basically any content im paying for after purchasing should be a supplement to a game that actually complements it greatly !
There's currently 4 key models out there:
Premium - Classic one-shot payment ($50 and the game is yours).
Subscription - Essentially premium, but you are "renting" the game" for a particular period.
Freemium - The game itself is free, with optional micro-transactions.
Paymium - You pay for the game, and then optional microtransactions.
you totally forgot the one and only decent afterbuy pay model
Expansions, meaningful dlc's that extend the game and not curb it on release!
