Will sports games improve next gen?

[Yade]

Honestly no

At least not anytime soon , remember all companies goals are to have low spending , high profits

 

[Dig]

Yes, more microtransactions

Last time I bought Madden was 08.

Wasn't going to get finessed again paying $60 for a fukkin roster update, new start menu design and updated music.

fukk EA for claiming NFL rights. They knew 2K was going to turn Madden into NBA Live status.

2K5 mechanics was GOAT

Bruh I still remember a game I had on 2k. Was in high school playing for a dub. I had the eagles and my guy had the falcons. He tried to stunt. Was up by 3. Less than a minute to play and he was on the goalline. He threw the ball and I picked it off in the end zone. Ran that hoe back for the TD . We ain’t running shyt back till you give me my bread GOAT football game

2k & Madden have been running on what feels like the same engines since 360/PS3


Or should we just expect another graphics upgrade


Also I blame take two & EA for being horrible companies

Uhhh...... Madden moved from the "Infinity engine" to the "Ignite engine" at the start of the current gen with Madden 25:

Is the big anniversary edition everything we want in a football game?

Next-gen graphics only go so far - changes to Madden 25's play make control tougher, though it's still good football.

Than Madden moved from the "Ignite Engine" to the "Frostbite 3" engine a couple years ago with Madden 18:

Next Gen?!?! Well as long as EA has that license.... NOPE...

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

My boy said next gen sports will be dedicated VR. If you get injured in the game, you get injured in real life.

 

[Take It In Blood]

NBA 2k14 was the generational leap u were looking for


Then they reverted back afterwards

 

[JetLife]

Nope, because the micro-transaction modes (Madden Ultimate Team, 2K MyPlayer/MyTeam) make them hundreds of millions of dollars yearly and the development cost of pushing out cards / cosmetics / animations is 1,000x less than doing an actual re-write of the gameplay.

Because of how these modes are and how both games rely on scripted animations that "look good", it's a perfect storm for them to bank huge revenue for what is essentially pay-to-win animations

and yet......


it's still the same damn game every year

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Whenever they stop developing for PS4 and X1 during next generation.

 

[NatiboyB]

none and the only modes they will try to improve is shyt where you spend virtual currency on say good by to improvements in real gm/team owner type modes and hello to buying more useless accessories.

 

[Mass]

Never

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

EA is in the process of having everything under their umbrella run on the Frostbite engine in one form or another. Sports games in the EA business model is just a way to push Ultimate Team. Don't hold hold your breathe if you expect any sweeping changes outside of its microtransaction focused modes.

That’s actually not what happened


I’ll have to find the YouTube video but it’s all the NFL’s fault

They only wanted to deal with ONE company (easier to control, give direction) then have multiple companies making the game
