What are you playing?

Sports games unfortunately have a very large audience and a monopoly on all games of their type. EA holds most of the licences for NFL/MADDEN/FIFA and alot of sports fans ONLY play these games (i even know a few!) it doesn't matter how bad or morally bankrupt they are, they are the only game in town so sports fans will get them ever year. Hell me and my friend rip into FIFA every year and yet we STILL BUY THEM EVERY YEAR because it's the only football game we can play together. Only reason we don't yet have FIFA 22 is we're both waiting to get PS5's.

Thats the reason and excuse everyone always gives for buying this trash. Still though, you buy and play FIFA every year. Is it worth the money to buy 21 when 20 exists (or Legacy or whatever the fuck they were calling it)? Aside roster changes and future server closures what’s the point? Nothing changes whatsoever. I bought WWE 2K for a few years recently and again, it’s the same shit with roster changes. Nothing is different with the core gameplay.

As long as people like you keep buying them for that reason you stated and idiots keep blowing money in Ultimate Team they’re gonna keep doing it. I detest sports games mostly but people deserve better than what you shell out money for.

Oh there is a VERY big difference every year...they are worse. They try to justify the new release by "improving" the gameplay and it always ruins the game and eventually is patched to play the same as the pervious years. Like i said it's a waste of money, but sports fans don't care, they just want to play with the latest kits/teams. Hell the only modes i play now are Pro clubs so me and my friend can play in the same team (he doesn't have much time to really get into other games, so we only play FIFA and CoD in short 45min bursts every week or so) so it really is a complete waste for me, but he is the only game friend i have and it's nice to catch up so not a complete waste.

I can't fault EA for doing what they do when idiots do UT pack opening videos on Youtube and people such as yourself reluctantly buy it even though you know the effort is low and the game is dogshit. That's why Madden makes BILLIONS every year.

It's money for nothing, often literally! It's a depressing state of affairs for all sports games really.

I’m not wrong. Of course there’s low effort because people will buy it anyways. I see EA’s reasoning.

As for my 2K statement I only ever bought 3 in the past decade and one was bargain bin pricing. I’m not buying them for awhile after 20.
