When I look at all the games that have come out for next gen, non of the sports games really wow me anymore. Other genres have come so far and are amazing to say the least...that when I put in Madden or whatever, I feel I have wasted my money.
There really is no excuse for sports games to be moving backwards. We still see the same glitches year in and year out with no fixes, we havent seen any increase in presentation ( and in reality...took a step back ) , we havent seen any new physics engines, we havent seen anything other than improved graphics. Its now time for football 09 season games to be released and we still havent got all the options we had back in 04 and 05 back.
My favorite sport game for the longest was NCAA football. Unfortunantly we are still not seeing much improved there either since back in 2002-2003.
I have heard the same commentary since I was stationed in Korea back in 01 I think. At the very least, it hasnt changed enough that I ever noticed it. They removed the stadium entrances, they removed the player warmups before the game, they have removed a ton, and not added much at all. 09 is looking to be different, but I wonder what will be broken upon release? Menus in next gen were so slow and laggy that hardly anyone could stand to use, Madden and NCAA both had 3-4 pick 6's per game which made it completely unrealistic...none of these problems were on the older generation games.
I really enjoy the basketball and baseball games that have been released, but football is lacking....there has been little to no improvement besides graphics in the last 8 years or so.
