Suspensions Should Exist in Sports Video Games

[I.B.Foolin]

Suspensions should not be included in videogames it would just ruin the whole experience. There is no proper way to implement it, so it would just all be random guys getting suspended. For example say you're rebuilding a team and your highly drafted rookie who has been playing great gets randomly suspended five games into the season. People are going to get pissed when this randomly effects their team that they're playing with for some stupid generated reason.

But look at Blackmon dude has issues before the NFL but the Jags took him based on talent. Plus who wouldn't be upset when someone get suspended it ultimately a selfish decision that a team cant micromanage. Personally I like to see it in a game though I know EA wont allow it. But just have some rare probability between factors of personality and 'motive'. Motive being main M.O. for playing football like money (big paycheck), championship, love of the game, and unknown. Unknown could be influenced by the success of the franchise.

This is possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard. A line needs to be drawn between reality and games. What's next ..... towel boy mode? What's a good sport game without a towel boy?

Great article. I totally agree. If it's in the game, it should be in the game.

I doubt we get a CFM where players can be suspended, but at the least they should have the players suspended in real life put on the same suspension in the game. That's a much better alternative than completely removing them from the game or leaving them alone like they do right now. So you wouldn't be able to use Robert Mathis in your CFM till week 5, just like in real life. This is the most realistic scenario for both EA and the gamer.

You could always add it and give people the OPTION to turn if off or on. Cased Closed. You're welcome.

This right here. I see dudes going off about it ruining people's teams. If you don't like the feature, turn it off. If you like it, leave it on. It's that simple. Man there is more than one way to do things people.

And where, exactly, is this line you speak of?

What defines something that should "stay in the real world" and not be in a video game?

Also add a type of rating that shows how often they get suspended. And this is were a backstory cones in handy

I dont think they should or ever will be implemented. Players wouldn't like it and complain in a hurry. no one wants to be in game that could tarnish their rep because a game constantly suspends them or makes look bad for something they haven't done. Its bad enough now with game ratings imagine a the people that would complain that so and so got suspended in thier game and it would never happen in real life. Derek Jeter getting caught for PEDs in his last year playing? Some football player that is know for working with sick kids or something getting labeled in a video game a s a cheat? Wouldnt go over well? And what are you going to suspend them for? I dont mind the idea of on field stuff being looked at like big hits, late hits..excessive taunting..stuff the user can control but are we going to stretch it real life things like cheating, DUI, assaults..racism? That wont fly.

Just have it as an incident happened off field or ice and have player x suspended for x amount of games. I think the players associations would be against the language as they wouldnt want murder or rape or even failed drug test being associated with the player.

ill pass on suspensions I want to face another teams best when I play them.

[rtkiii]

I agree but it will never happen. The leagues do not want to show any negative spin on their sports. "Their athletes are all angels."

[MajorSupreme]

It'd be cool, but it shouldn't be detailed. The player should get a notice saying: "John Doe has been suspended 3 games due to conduct detrimental to the team." That way, the player could use their imagination and make it whatever they want. And this would all be based on the character rating system mentioned earlier.

[Cavicchi]

I believe suspensions should be in for both football and baseball. As someone above mentioned, the option to turn it on or off seems like the ideal solution.

I think it would be great to have a fictional game released every couple years by 2k or whoever. Think, this whole time some company could have been honing their skills with a cool game that featured things like suspensions, personalities, decleaters, late hits, fights, things madden cant put in the game and of course a fully customizable game!
