There are so many better versions of previous sports titles from earlier years, especially NHL, NBA. If only they would've had the option to make good, great, versus re-inventing the wheel for no apparent reason. The online communities can likewise finally be tamed.
If there was a flat cost per year - say $100 for all EA Sports titles - I'm all in. I*state this knowing EA will no doubt require up front purchase ($60 per) for the base products in year one.*
Also, presentation is secondary to me over gameplay. As an older gamer, I'm all about sustained experience.
I'm with you. I've said for years that a single, rolling release model makes a lot more sense for sports games than an annual release does -- as it stands, previous years' versions are practically worthless anyway. I'd gladly pay $10/month for an a all-inclusive Madden/FIFA/NHL subscription, and that'd likely make more money for EA as well.
