More Sports Games...Seriously...

Okay gang, I dunno if its me or what but I am getting sick and tired of seeing all these sports games out on the market. Flooding the market would be kind of harsh to say, but they make for a huge percentage in the pie of video games. Now, I've played Madden and 2k sports games and I have to say that they are 2 of the best franchises to handle sport games...EA and Sega. Now seeing other companies try to mold that Madden-like feel, which doesn't always come out perfect.

One of my most hated companies in the late 90's was Sony's 989 Studios. Now only did they butcher sports games, but also destroyed Twisted Metal by putting out TM3 and TM4. Yes I have both of them and yes I don't play them because it was total garbage...except for Club Kid in TM3, his special was pretty cool (consisted of a huge worm hole that sucked up everyone in the area and pulled them in the middle and exploded them in one huge firey ball of...well....fire! Not only that but you could combo homing and power missles and get your enemy down to nothing and finish him off with some machine gun fire...geek mode off lol.) So where was I?

Oh yes, the fact that there should only be 2 companies to run sports games, but what about not flooding the market with yearly roster updates? Because what else can we do to a fucking football game after making a sim mode, a create a player mode, a create a stadium mode, a roster switch, a training mode...you get the idea. Seriously though, limit the sports games to PS3 and the 360 and give the option to pay for roster updates or if you want to just get 1 character from last year's roster update so you can create a dynasty team. With the power of online content, both Sony and Micro$oft can deliver. Did I mention online tourney mode?

EA and Sega both release 1 "game of all games" for the game stores. Every 5 years or so release another "game of all games" so it will introduce new players to the game and will get the up-to-date roster and stuff.

Why do this Zodiak? Why? Well because of my PS2 game shopping experience during the launch of the system, half the fucking games were sports games! So I decided on Dark Cloud for a few months, cool game IMO. If the sports companies keep going at this rate, we will have create a cheerleader mode. Hey, is that even out in sports games yet?
