The Sony Press Conference is going live at 9 p.m. EST. Watch it live above! If anything breaks regarding sports gaming (or big console news) we'll share it here.
Sure fans will happily support the game, but that takes nothing away from how lame announcing a Kickstarter at E3 is.
I understand your point of view, but this really is a unique situation. Realistically, not many people would buy this game outside of fanatics who played the original 15 or so years ago. This way, they'll be able to gauge interest as well as fund the project.
I'm not a "sports gamer" though, I was just stating that Show is the only reason I really bought and still have my PS4. I just recently bought a One and haven't touched the 4 since. After this showing, it looks like Show will continue to be the only game I play, at least until Battlefront and Siege.
