See when I think of people making sports games with crazy creatures or odd themes I think of how bad games like Bill Laimbeer's Combat basketball and how the theme and artstyle try to distract away from what makes a sports game good.
But with most major spots the games themselves really aren't that complex. The most complex thing is that controls have enabled players to get almost all control over a player. Sure you can have a NBA game with just a shoot or pass mode but does that mean that a game that allows alley-oops, special ball movement, or flopping is any worse?
I just feel that people who liked the early NES games would actually enjoy playing modern games if they gave it a chance. Annualization has fostered a perception that the games are poorly designed and are meant for a target audience that most games media types despise.
So much truth in this post. Receiving a comment for your article is a courtesy, not a right, Patrick. That tweet was amateur as fuck and his follow-up tweet was surprising considering he just recently chastised Pete Dodd for his non-apology.
I hope you are joking... Not sure I can handle listening to the morning show if this is the case.
That's pretty sad
