You missed out one important question. Why are they trying to stop people patching the game, when patching just increases people's enjoyment of his product? If he tries to claim it's got anything to do with illegal downloading of the game, ask him how that's relevant, considering that people download patches separately anyway, and most people who patch either buy the game or wouldn't stop downloading it illegally even if no patches existed....
Seriously - Seabass once said he had no problem with patching the WE series, he could understand it for as long as they couldn't provide the full licenses, kits etc. So he should be prepared to tell us why they;ve suddenly rewritten the whole AFS structure just to make it near-impossible to patch. A lot of the people who've contributed much hard work and talent to this community have decided to retire. OK, that's not his problem, but doesn't he understand that patching has helped bring many people over from FIFA, people who want good gameplay but can't bear to see the teams running round in stupid plain kits.
