Why Sports Games Will Be Even Better in 2015...

[darknmild]

I've played it multiple times because of friends, and I only see a foundation, not a quality title. It's still far from that. The fact that WR/DB interaction still isn't there is pretty ridiculous and takes you out of immersion. Lead blocking still has problems. I find the game just struggles on trying to sell itself as a sim game when it tries hold on to arcade like gameplay, most likely to entice casual players. There are more issues but I don't want to turn this into a long response. Just look at more reviews and youtube. USGamer and GameSpot reviews are spot on I believe.

I respect your response and it has very valid points.

It's just tradition here at OS... I love Madden 15 myself and I don't care how "uncool" that might seem here, lol

I love Madden as well

NBA 2k15 needs to do more ...more stats, make each season game different game 5 should not feel like game 72 especially if playoff are in your future the game should be very intense or drama filled.. ticker bar would be nice so i know whats going on around the league, need to know whats going on in my division heading into game 77 with the title on the line.. Madden wheres the ticker bar..need more stats update information around the league during halftime.. commentary is boring and again the week three should be different than week 14...NHL put out the worst hockey game in a long time ...missing a lot three stars was patched in but they didnt skate on to the ice for introduction.. no ticker bar ... no stats update ... no all star game or weekend... dry career mode dry GM mode ...Fifa did a great job on all theses options but they didn't have a ticker bar but had updates that felt real when they interrupted the match about a time in the league who was playing on the same day.. MLB the show needs to improve their commentary and excitement of the season division games should be hostile or drama filled ...i think the DEVS for their respective game should watch a game and take and it to their games ....hey if its in the game PUT IT IN THE GAME

Games will get better in 2015 as soon as all these developers stop using last gen builds and start taking advantage of current gen technology and create a completely new game. There's no excuse for the cutscenes in Madden to look so much better than the gameplay graphics. There's no excuse for MLB the Show to be the exact same game on the PS3 as it was on the PS4. There's no excuse for all EA Sports games still using last gen player models. I'm starting to think why the hell did I buy a PS4 because none of these sports games in my opinion have made a significant leap graphics wise from last gen to current gen.

I don't know how to just put a thumbs up or a like so I'll say I completely agree with this guy.

Year to year saves which it does.
Dynamic difficulty I hope is back.
Fantasy Draft I hope is back.
In Game Saves I hope is back.

Madden 16 needs:
Year to Year Saves
Fantasy Draft I hope is back
Dynamic Difficulty
In Game Saves I hope is back

NHL 16 needs:
Dynamic Difficulty
Year to year saves
In game saves
Fantasy draft

NBA 2K16 needs
Dynamic Difficulty
Year to year saves
In game saves I hope is back
Fantasy draft I hope is back but also has draft order setting.

WWE 2K16 needs

Yes, I believe this will be a big year for sport games. With developers firmly integrated on the new consoles there should be plenty improvement for our favorite sport games.

All I want is NCAA Football...

I agreed with the comment above - all I want is NCAA Football back, and NCAA Basketball.

[menloe24]

I want a NCAA Basketball

I liked NHL 15 and Madden 15.
I hate online play - so I hope developers dont just focus on that aspect on the future development.

I wish I had the money and the know how to just create a generic football game with incredible game play and the smallest details and make it completely customizable. How awesome would it be to be able to create the NFL AND NCAA Football within one game! THere are some very talented people out there that could create the uniforms, players, stadiums or field graphics etc...and be able to share them. It would take forever to create but, once created, its done. And instead of annual $60 for a new game, just keep updating, improving throughout and maybe charge $20 for major graphical upgrades or game play upgrades every year or 8 months or whatever...another words, no annual game release just constant improvements. This would definitely sink Madden or at the very least, force them to actually upgrade their game. Unfortunately, i only know how to play the games, not design. I would definitely support something like this though....Would love to see college hoops come back as well. Imagine the NBA2k15 graphics and game play for a college hoops game. Wow.

MLB15, FIFA15, NBA2K15, and Madden15 all on PS4, were all fun solid games. There is always room for improvement.

I would love to see the stadium lighting of NCAA Football in The Show, including the dynamic sky and weather. That immersion in NCAA Football really sucked me in. The high graphics fidelity was awesome. Also, continue to upgrade the player animations and transition smoothness.

NHL15 AI to me played a lot like NHL07 when EA first instituted the Shot Stick, but the AI felt like "chickens running around with their heads cut off". That was fixed in NHL08 and was a great game, with NHL09 being my high point for fun, feel, and playability. So much so that it put 2K Hockey out of business. Let's hope that NHL16 brings the complete package next year.

I agree with that it would def make these games step their games up and stop copying and pasting

Re: Why Sports Games Will Be Even Better in 2015...

The irony lost here in many is the people here always saying how much better the ps2 football Madden was....

But yet back in that time frame everyone said it was just a big bag of crap.

Which means I guess on ps7 people will be looking back and remembering the fantastically great Madden 15 on the ps4, when we actually had a great game lol

No people thought madden was great back on ps2 and that is because it was. Madden last gen was a waste has up in till like madden 10 ever thing and I mean everything out side of graphics where worse on ps3 madden then ps2 madden witch is pathetic. If you told me back in like 2005 how madden 15 on ps4 would be I would laugh at you has I would think the game would be much much better. While madden 15 is the best madden game in a long time that is not saying much and the game is far and I mean far from great. I cant say a NFL game where the CPU wont throw the ball and takes 9-11 sacks is great plus no penterties in the game those 2 things are a game killer and a lot of things about madden on ps2 are still better.

[dovuto86]

What I hated about Madden 15 was that they didnt have a cointoss for online games and just about everything thrown deep was intercepted or deflected

[mentalflawss]

All I want is NCAA Football...

AMEN.

I'll always argue that NCAA has the most compelling franchise/dynasty modes of any sports games.
