The NFL made it known that they were looking to have an exclusive partner make their video games. They didn’t wanna have to keep tabs on all these different companies, making sure they presented the NFL in a way that the NFL liked. Can’t blame EA for forming over the cash.

Every sports game for the past several years is literally the exact same thing as the last with a few tweaks. Companies like 2K and EA have figured out that they could double their profits off of Ultimate team modes, which meant placating a portion of the population that doesn't care about gameplay. Just packs of cards they pay for which become moot the second next year's game drops. (This is a huge reason why I also fell off with NBA 2K). No one plays games for fun or creativity anymore everything has turned into a competition. Franchise mode in sports games today are barely playable. The franchise mode in NFL 2K5 was SO deep and detailed. Simply put they just don't care as much about the gamers anymore. Companies like EA, 2K, Ubisoft, etc see games less of entertainment/art and are now designing them to be money making machines. They don't seem to take any pride in making sport games the best that it can be or to resemble the sport the closest they can. The worst part is they have absolutely no inventive to improve any of these aspects of the game. I can't envision any scenario going forward where sports games see any meaningful improvements. The more popular ultimate team modes have become, the more the games as a whole have suffered. Sucks man.

Wrestling was good back then with Kurt angle, Eddie Guerrero, Batista, edge, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, undertaker, RVD, triple H, HBK, JBL, Jeff Hardy. Now it's just not entertaining enough in my opinion.

If you wanna know a banger series that avoids many of these problems check out Konamis Power Pros Baseball. While it has remained mostly exclusive to Japan, the gameplay and depth easily puts The Show to shame. Just dont let yourself be put off my the cartoony bobblehead characters, play it and youll have a great time

Sports games monetization, story management, gameplay design and price have been atrocious for a long time but people still buy these games and spend a lot of money on them even if in some months the new game will come out. Until that changes sports games will be in my opinion the worst video games

Was there any story in a sports game where if you played like crap, you'd at least get a game over or the story actually kinda changes?
@GameDayonYT2 жыл бұрын
From my experience, no. There are some little alterations like in Madden Longshot where your draft position changes and you can even go undrafted, but it doesn't change the story because at the end of the story, you'll end up on an NFL team.

The NFL has exclusive deals with everyone. I'm not sure why EA is made the villain and Microsoft, Bose, or Nike get a pass. Players can't even wear their own personal logos to promote their own brand the NFL is absolutely the catalyst for consumers complaints but EA gets the blame for being greedy lol.
