sad the state of footy games since 08, i posted here years ago that sony london was reportedly working on "this is football". guess that never materialized..
for those wishing for a 2k game, dont think every sports game they make is amazing: at a time when american football game was not locked to ea, 2k was raping the madden franchise, so ea locked the nfl license to themselves. 2k answered back by locking the baseball (mlb) license to themselves, when at a time ea was building on a great baseball series. nowadays, 2k's baseball games suck balls. so be wary.
my point i guess is? competition has to come in from as many people possible, no competition in nfl has made ea's madden a stale piece of shit, just as 2k's baseball game. which brings us to the football games; its just ea and konami and they cant get shit right, if you know about business, that when a market has a need that isnt being fulfilled by the products in it, virtually anybody can get in thru that hole in the market and exploit it, then overtaking the top spot.
HEY GAME MAKERS, THE FOOTBALL GAME GENRE HAS BEEN IN A CRISIS FOR YEARS, THE WORLD OVER BUYS IT, THE MONEY IS THERE, LOOK AT EA WITH FIFA & THEIR CASH FLOW... GET IN THERE AND MAKE SOMETHING DAMN IT!!!
