(I'm hoping maybe we can get a thread like this going for the newsdesk section instead cause it might be better in getting people to respond)
Question I want to bring up....How much power do people think users should be able to get when it comes to customizing stuff in sports games? By this I mean, like should people be able to edit everything about a real life player(ex-imagine being able to edit Lebron James appearance in NBA 2K,and giving him some huge beard and old school glasses and an afro)?
Should every game allow custom music in every part of the game(EA Sports NHL currently allows people to do this, Madden NFL doesn't have this feature at all, MLB has it for about 80% of the game sounds,and NBA has it for gameplay(it's broken on playstation though) but not main menu))
Should people be able to edit things like stadiums/courts/jerseys? Imagine getting to edit a current MLB stadium or even creating your own one or getting to edit a NBA court and putting the logos where you want and making the paint and other things specific colors to improve your teams court design?
And abunch of other things people can think of in terms of things users should/could be able to edit in sports games, do people think users should have more control in what they're able to customize, is the amount currently good enough, or is the amount actually too much? I know people often have to hack games on consoles and they're able to edit certain things,which makes me believe it is possible to do it without hacking the game, the companies just intentionally make it not possible. PC games are especially easy for people to edit as in sports games, I remember seeing edits doing things like adding real life ads to NHL boards, adding in NBC scorebug to replace the EA Sports generic one among other things.
I remember past games had bits and pieces of extra user customizing stuff. Old school wrestling games you could fully edit appearances(who as a kid didn't unmask Kane to see what he looked like behind the mask,to find out the producers added a blacked out/burnt face behind it). Past sports games did have create a stadium type features in it. We were able to edit appearances of players more in some games than we are in present games. Some games allows custom music,but other games for some reason don't(even though it's 2014 and custom music was available in a number of games for several years now). I think if anything,it might actually save companies money too. Instead of having to pay to get certain things in the game, just give users the right to customize stuff and add it in themselves(like ads on NHL boards,or throughout MLB stadium, or custom music instead of the company paying to get music in the game).
