Re: OS Fact or Fiction: Game Development 101 Edition

I have to disagree on the sports games should be released every year. I'd rather see a game released every other year and roster updates in between releases to allow for adequate development time and testing.

I think you lose contact with the public when you do an every other year approach with sports games. As good as an idea as it sounds. when that season starts and progress the sports gamer will want to play to mirror what's currently happening. it works in other types of games that are based on fiction, but sports games tie deeply into the reality of the sport.

I wouldnt be surprised if EA/2k are required to put a game out every single season by the NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB.

Lucian was right on with that last question. Atta boy! Represent the gameplay guys!

Very nice read.

IMO, doing roster updates and patches would help the community and our strive for perfection but, I think they would hurt those less diehards out there.

They buy it because it's Madden and the NFL. They don't care about all the little things. They just want football. We won't everything and think doing patches and roster updates while helping us, it hurts them.

JMHO...

IMO. i really feel that the every other year could work, with more frequent patches and live rosters,etc..i think we would be able to ride it out (just saying if GOD forbid this beecame the norm)
