    Many of the things that gave those old games replayability were unrealistic and wouldn't be accepted well today because as technology evolved and games became more realistic our standards raised. If you can figure out how to marry the realism we expect now with the unrealistic fun of the past, I'm sure EA would love to hear it. As it is, it just seems like people are more nostalgic for being young and having dumb fun with their friends than they are for the games themselves.
    So asking EA to make a simulation football game on the level of 2K basketball and the Show is too much to ask in 2025? I'm logging off this message board. Can one of the mods ban my account please.

        Sorry to hear about your difficulty reading. Hope you can work on it in your time away from OS.

          I suggest you go read the 2k and The Show boards here. They will tell you otherwise about them being simulation games.

              IMHO, this years version of The Show is the greatest console sports game ever made for my XSX. No sports sim even comes close to it.

              I've learned to overlook so much with EA's football games, they really are not a simulation of the sport in my eyes, but I can have some fun with them if I greatly temper my expectations.

              With The Show, it's the complete package, game play, presentation, franchise improvements, CPU AI, and the list goes on and on. Four seasons into my Show franchise and I still see new animations and franchise stuff.

              I truly hope Madden 26 is the game all of us simulation folks have been looking for, M25 was a disaster in my eyes.

                I love The Show and have been playing it non stop since release. I’m just saying if you go to the other forums here, there are plenty of people that complain about both 2k and MLBTS. So according to people here, they have major flaws too and aren’t sim games.

                  LOL I'm late but I watched the video and this guy reminds me of myself and how I would make a video on SDS and MLB The Show. I skipped MLB The Show 25 and spent my money on Madden 26. I get his perspective because I am new to football and don't know 100% of the ins and outs of it. I can equate his frustrations to someone who post MLB The Show videos on youtube and only hits homeruns, when baseball is much more than homeruns. I get it. But in my opinion madden 25 was leaps above any sports game I played in several key areas which is why I pre-ordered 26 and learned to play and read defense through youtube tutorials made the gameplay so much fun and better. But I understand softdrink tv's perspective.

                  However I do think we are all at a good turning point for sport games to give what the more hard core fans of OS want. Once the AI and Machine learning start to make development cycles faster and easier. I think all genres are going to have great games from each studio.

                  I did want to mention softdrink tv said EA was afraid to loose the license they recently came out and said they welcomed the competition so I was confused about that part of the video.

                    He hasn't made a video in regards to that rumor yet.

                      So, revisiting this, it looks like Softdrink (and his source) was correct.

                      A shame.
