Change is good. The growth of sports gaming over the last 20 years has been astronomical, and recent AAA releases remind us what a treasure it is to be alive. However, there are a number of features that were present throughout the 1990s and early 2000s that today’s titles are missing. I have compiled five of the most glaring absences from recent sports releases.

For me personally only Number 3 is something that I see as an issue with today's sports games.

Man I do miss being able to buy a great football game for $20, now you have to pay $60 for an ok game.

I will take todays more simulation style of MLBTS and NBA2k, to any of the 80's-90's sports games. Thing have improved so much compared to my very 1st gaming console with was the original atari.

The 1 game I miss the 1 game I would buy if it were to come back out, is Baseball Stars, I played that game till the cartridge went blank on the Nintendo. I loved that game, and how you could rename the players and boost them up, and sign rookie, or aging vets to contracts.

I did really enjoy Super Techmo bowl and played the heck out of it, but dont think it would hold my attention now very long, as without drafts and retiring players, I know I would lose interest in it.

There is too much arcade still in sports games. I agree with the rest though.

Please stop blaming 2K for EA Sports incompetence with the NBA Live franchise. 2K beat out Live fair and square.

nba 2k has added some great modes/features and teams since 2k11.....why can't madden follow suit? some historic teams and create-a-team/league features would be nice additions. mlb the show had the right idea with griffey and the retro mode. now just add some historic teams and/or world baseball classic.
