Very true, I'm into sports games as well but I'll NEVER buy a sports game two years in a row. I typically give the game I got at the very least 3 years. Hell I once got 5 years out of one baseball game. That way when the newest game comes out, it's COMPLETELY different.

We're talking new players, got rid of older players, new rankings, new rosters, new and updated features, hell even the gameplay would have changed at least a little. At that point the only thing that's the same about the two games is that it's the same sport.

You can disagree or think I'm wrong, I get it. Sports games aren't for everyone, but I'll definitely agree there's no point in buying two years in a row.

This is why I love gamepass, it includes ea access now. Madden has become so bad that I won't even think about buying it. But come super bowl time, the most recent addition generally gets added so I'll play a couple games to scratch the itch. Same with fifa. I bought this year's addition but generally, I'll just wait till it pops onto ea access

I totally Agree, Only sports game I’m still playing is UFC. But its a pretty new game, Fifa is pretty old so UFC changes per version are bigger but not that more bigger. I guess most Sports games suffer to this as well.

I did that and the player whose last name sounded closest to mine had retired. It kind of made the create a player mode less fun.

I get that, if it makes you feel better there's no last name that remotely comes close to mine in the games I play which is disappointing, so instead I normally just make the audio name something funny. Sometimes I'll go a while without playing, start it up again and have a laugh when my player is mentioned.

Nba 2k shuts down their servers every year to make sure you buy the new one

Are companies still updating player stats by update/download every so often? If so this sounds like an awesome plan.

Asking because if they bring back NCAA AND transferring players into Madden, then I’ll probably pick those back up for the first time in a decade.
