OS Roundtable: What Feature Should be in Every Sports Game?

[LingeringRegime]

The Ability to save replays directly to the HDD/and upload them directly to youtube. Backbreaker would have been a lot better if this was part of their game

[kilisportsfan]

a halftime show (nba 2k11 has a good one) and a weekly recap show (like in nfl 2k5).
i would often have needed in game saves in madden

[nighttrain32]

Spectator Mode should be in every sports game

The speedwall in NFS:HP.It would obviously have to be tweaked for team sports games, but the old school feel of a coin op arcade game's top scores list combined with the now-aspect of its social network features, is terrific. 90% of my current PS3 friends list is thanks to the speedwall, its suggestions, and the ease of friending people I had raced on line with. I especially like that I can still have some competition with people in my friends list without having to be online when they are and don't have to directly MP with them (see other recent thread about online-averse geezers).I don't understand why they didnt put something directly comparable into TW12.

Way too much time, energy and money invested on things that apparently interest the devs but are nothing than more than mindless wastes of programming. Why not build a game with input from the peole that actually play them? Hey, what a novel idea...
Its been 10 years since a company did that with NFL2K5. Since then we've been hammered with "big hits", "super dekes" and a host of other various button mashing idiocies. 10 years ago a company damn near nailed it with just a few gameplay flaws....my question is WHY? Why didnt they build off what was a near perfect sports game? Why did they abandon the one game that got so close?

EVERY GAME NEEDS COACHING CAROUSEL. I am really pumped to see this being added in NCAA Football FINALLY, because I'm sick of gettting 20 years into the future with Joe Pa STILL coaching at Penn State!

I agree 100% with Chris about player traits/personality.

I would MUCH rather have a great customization utility to personalize my own game, or share with others, than have "social network" features. Social networking is getting seriously overwhelming, I hate it. I want to play games by myself at 2:00 in the morning sometimes, and when I do, I want to customize ballparks, team logos, uniforms, and the like.

The ability to edit rosters and share them online. It would be nice if M13 allows us to edit everything like the 2K series does and share them along with draft classes.

Annnndd no one mentioned physics? /sigh

[oneamongthefence]

I would have to agree that some form of dynamic player performance. Whether its progression every few weeks or every game. I like to see my guys progress and regress. Makes it much more lifeike and enjoyable. Having a static season gets old too fast, Variables +1 ftw

[Giantsfan8293]

dev's should read these kinds of articles .. lots of good things in here

[Tyrant8RDFL]

I also feel in game saves is a must for sports titles. Especially when you play long minute qtrs or periods.
