Couldnt have said it better myself. Why does it seem like it IS one or the other every year?
Surely a company with EA's rsources should be able to cover all bases and give us a game with enhancements across all aspects of the game. Im not talking complete overhauls but at least pay attention to getting team colours correct.
In the football market I have to blame lack of competition and complete laziness on EA's behalf. Why spend a lot of money each year when you dont have to, right?
As we enter the twilight of this generation I dont hold much hope for what remaining years we have for all of the sports games. I think from the steller sports games this GEN (The show and NBA2k) to the football games, they have pretty much reached their potential and we will keep seeing slight rehashes until the end (at least where NCAA and madden are concerned).
In my Opinion the football games have failed specatularly this GEN and sorry EA thats you. On the otherhand they have given us a decent hockey and a good soccer game (has competition) but we all crave a good football game. Its all we ask. Just good. And something that replicates what we see on a Saturay or Sunday.
