WTF?
DLC Avarice: Madden is not a community that needs much incentive to engage in douchebag alpha male display behavior. I don't know whether to applaud EA for monetizing that inclination or condemn them for encouraging it. But you can actually buy "Elite Status," which gives you "exclusive VIP lobbies, leaderboards, and play the all new Elite Gametype" — all tuned for the "hardcore." And this is just the beginning. In the middle of an offline game you can purchase stat boosters; the middle of a season you can buy cheats that massage your players' attributes for a single game, or deliver benefits to your franchise through the season. If this applies to Online Franchise mode, you're paying to get a leg up on your pals, your co-workers, your friends-of-a-friend, without earning it. It's much more pernicious than the old unlockable cheats, but I acknowledge that it's here and not going away.

Jimmy: "Hey Mikey, imma whup your ass in Madden! I been practicing up, LET'S GO!"
Mike: "That may be true James, but I shall win as I have purchased a plethora of upgrades from EA. Dirty poors cannot attain victory against those who have money." :smug

Why charge them $5 for Easy, when they can charge $3 each for 5 separate parts that would normally make it Easy mode?

So, instead of having cheat codes available, this is basically paying for cheat codes. And let me guess, the stuff is already burned on the disc, you're paying money for the ability to unlock it. Good jon EA.
