Sports games... See you later on this gen

Posted on September 19, 2013 at 12:48 AM.

With the arrival of GTA V, I don't see myself purchasing a sports game until I get my xbone. I am not picking Madden, FIFA or 2k14 until I get the new system. And let's face it with Golf and Tennis in GTA I can get a sports fix in there.

This gen there has been a lot of leaps in terms of sports gaming. There has also been a lot of unfulfilled promises or expectations. I think this gen was a stop gap for sports games. While HD graphics and deep franchise modes are the norm, I think this next gen is where sports games will be in a golden age. With more processing power for individual player AI, we should have a multitude of awareness ratings and see players make plays like never before. I realize this probably won't happen for a couple of years. When it does, Sports games may be the class of gaming. We already get more packed in one game than any other genre.
