I use it because it makes story progression make a whole lot more sense than EA's version. There are illogical functions on the one EA has and Awesome Story makes the game move more realistically. I've used it for quite a while and believe me there are more updates and patches on this one than EA bothers with. I came here because an EA phone rep actually made suggestive comments leading me here (believe it or not).
So far its worked for me. I don't really post here because they scare me on this forum so I keep my newbie mouth shut and try to read as much as possible. I just felt sorry for you. I've got to go now before they come for me too
