Most of the sports games IMO are the real garbage. I mean sure we can go on about how this RPG was terrible or that FPS was just a rehash of stuff that has already been done, but consider this:
1. Every new year, a new title comes out for full price with few updates other than changing the players around to reflect the new rosters or teams.
2. Within 8 months of the launch the aforementioned price has plummeted by 80%
3. Multiplayer is usually gets really boring really fast.
4. The CPU is often either dumb as hell or just plain cheap with ridiculous difficulty spikes
When I say this, Nascar Thunder, NBA Live and Madden, I'm looking at you. Years of terrible presents.
