Modern Sports Games SUCK
Sports games used to be fun. You’d pay for the game and that was it-you got the full experience. Fast forward to today, and games like NBA 2K FIFA, and Madden are nothing but cash grabs, full of bugs, pay-to-win mechanics, and overpriced microtransactions.
In this video, I explain how modern sports games have become so much worse than they were 10+ years ago. From predatory pack systems to lazy yearly updates, it’s clear these games care more about money than providing a great experience.

So here we are, 5 years into the PS5 era and uh… where are the games?! We’re still getting cross-gen stuff and remasters, while Sony’s next-gen beast just chills with all its wasted potential.

Is One Piece Overrated? Let's talk... Is One Piece the best anime/manga of all time, or is it a bit overrated? Does the anime’s pacing hurt the series as much as people say? Is the manga still living up to its legendary status, or are things starting to drag? Are its iconic moments enough to overshadow its flaws, or are we just too caught up in the nostalgia?

Suicide Squad: KTJL Proves This About Game Developers...
5:00 As a manga reader, my issue with MVA is that they cut so much from it to the point where all of there characters feel shallow, especially the ones newly introduced who have the majority of their scenes cut and it was meant to be an arc narrated and focused on Spinner, but they cut most of his narrations and when he does have narrations in the anime, it feels thrown in and dumb. MVA was meant to come before the Endeavour Agency Arc and the swap between the two arcs took away a lot of the tension and, as you mentioned, spoiled the entire arc.
Definitely a missed opportunity. Most ppl’s biggest criticism of the show is the lack of stakes. MVA more than any arc at that point had stakes , deaths and an overall tone that was more mature. If it was adapted right, it could’ve revived MHA to S2-3 levels of popularity. I fell bad for you manga fans man. What a missed opportunity smh.
Somebody need to make a good college basketball game man
I been playing 2k16 recently and it was not at all how i remembered the gameplay is pretty bad ,25 is smoother but 25 is not a good game
The gameplay wasn’t bad in 2k16 imo, it’s way more arcadey but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. This focus on “realism” is what makes current 2ks feel slow and sluggish. Look at the college football game for example. It’s much more arcadey than madden and ppl love it because ITS FUN, which is what these games all were once upon a time. Idgaf about 4k graphics and improved sweat and hair fidelity every year if the game is not fun, buggy and unpolished.
@ when was the last time u played it bc its pretty bad some of the dribble moves dont register and u can’t really combo bc the best movement comes from the dribble packages which are kinda stiff . For the time 2k16 was amazing but now it doesn’t really hold up anymore
Offline wise I actually like 2k25 idk i enjoy them i don't spend anything UT or anything but that's just me
i bought fc 25 on discount and tried to play without spending a single penny even if i were to pay hundred of dollars of there shitty micro transactions i would still say it's trash i haven't played a single minute of 2k and i know it's trash im not buying any sports games anymore.
I quit 2k my team after 2020 I hate the fact that after the servers shut down everything u did is just gone I want to be able to still use my team offline a lot of games just to have it wiped out not doing that again
Yeah 2k is definitely greedy af. They do that to force ppl on to the new games. So scummy
This is why I been playing all the old games I find in store I'm not gonna pay 70 bucks for a game I'm gonna have to continue paying just to be somewhat close to good when I can wait for a discounts on the store go to a retro game and get good by just grinding
Old games are so goated. I just picked up The Witcher 3 for the first time for £6 on sale 😭. Already got like 20 hours in.
Maybe I wouldn't mind packs in sports games if those games had some quality to them. Yesterday I was playing Fifa 24, my center back got a red card late in the game, I wanted to replace my left winger with another center back. Guess what.... Nothing happened. The left winger stayed on the pitch for the last 15 in game minutes. And that's just one problem among many others, such as poor player AI or questionable ref decisions. When I think of Fifa 15 or 2k17, there were no such problems. Or 2k20, where I spent almost 900 hours without spending a single dime, it was just perfect... I just miss these times but idk, maybe there will be bettet sports games in the future but it‘ very unlikely
They’re over monetised and buggy as hell. Such a wild combo 💀
Man I was just thinking this it sad back to ps2 sonny
Sports games are cooked man
I still play fight night round 4 ( thats how good ea used to be )
Damn that is a throwback. Those fight night games were so fun. A new one of even a champion remake would go so crazy.
Microtransactions have done ao much damage to gaming...but as long as people spend money on this type of stuff we all will suffer for years to come. AAA-gaming got themselves a bloody nose in 2024 tho, which is a beacon of hope that some of us are done being scammed. Can't make money off a non-existing crowd!
Concord and Suicide Squad showed that ppl are just gonna accept slop. That being said , sports game consumers are a very different market. They seem to accept pretty much anything due to all the monopolies(NBA2K, FIFA, WWE2k , Madden etc)
@@BadTakeRisan I agree that sports fans have to basically take whatever they get due to license exclusivity. BUT buying these games every year is only gonna make things even worse and the scam is gonna get evn worse as well. Sports games should just be free to play...their monetization is essentially that of a free to play game and with barely any meaningful update you don't need yearly releases...BUT WAIT getting money every year for selling the game? NOT deleting all Ultimate/My Team cards every year to resell them again next year? Sports fans are partly f*cked due to no fault of their own...HOWEVER if they agree to participate in this scam the partly are to blame for where sports games are in 2024/25.
It's a coincidence that your talking about this, because I play the mobile game, and as I'm playing they took my earnings, twice. It's like they have the ai set up to keep you from advancing even at the cost of cheating. I never spend money in game with these apps. NBA live mobile is just straight garbage, and there people still making videos about how great they are, when they know it's trash. I believe those people are paid by EA to make those videos, because there is no way I could push such garbage as if it's not garbage. They are just greedy, and don't give af.
Greedy af
The only sport game that is 100 percent gameplay is football manager
True. Ngl im not really a fan of the gameplay but from what I’ve heard, it seems like a good game.
2k hasnt updated haircuts in like 12 years. Thats insane
What?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m pretty sure hair is one of the few things they actually DO update bro 😭🤣
@BadTakeRisan nope
I made this video a year ago. That’s why all the clips are from 2k24/FC24.
yea bro i just got 2k25 nd im trying sooo hard to like it but i just rather play 2k15😂
Nah fr bro, 2k25 is so cheese
Well said bro lol hard to not agree with anything said
@@Thatboygtmike appreciate it bro 🙏🏾
Ultimate Team/My Team/Diamond Dynasty. All great ideas, all abused for paychecks. These modes are the sole thing that ruined sports games.
Ever heard of an addict?
Being an addict to shit games is wild 😭
SDS studios has kept MLB the show from falling into this trap
The game has its problems but quite frankly everyone has an equal chance to get good players. It’s the only remaining game that rewards you for effort. Don’t even have to buy packs at all to field a good team
Damn ,lucky you😭. Baseball isn’t really popular in the UK so no one plays MLB
2k25 did a lot of good things but it just isn’t as fun as 2k16 which had less to do ironically. They need to make the cost of builds less OR give us a respec option since it’s literally an RPG game
FACTS!! Or maybe let your re-spec like 40 attribute points. So you have to keep the base of your player but can still make big changes to your player. That way the re-spec system isnt broken
Nah you just suck at sports games, and you suck at TH-cam also. These views are disgusting 😭 900 views on the last video. Just learn how to put the fries in the bag cuh.
I dont play online game modes so these issues dont really affect me
Fair enough 🤝
Next gen has been so bad it makes me question why I moved on from my PS4, which I still was enjoying.
PS4 had similar issues tbh but that’s still a fair point. Outside of a few games, there isn’t really much of a point in upgrading to next gen
Problem is both 2K & EA have a monopoly so they’ve gotten greedy with micro transitions ! Back in the ps2 Xbox days you had so many options!! You had 2K, Madden, Blitz, Fever, Street, & more! NBA you had live, ballers, 2K, street, and many other options. Crazy in 2024 you only have one option for both.
Monopolies hit sports games like crack in the 80s
Or you were a kid when you played and enjoyed old sports game. And your just sick of them cause your now an adult who has been playing sports game for years of your life. Theres nothing they can do to make a basketball game more enjoyable for people . Its basketball. Thats it. Every year its gonna be basketball because the game is basketball. If these games seem like they get worse every year youre the problem. Move on with your life.
White knighting for 2k, one of the biggest abusers of predatory micro transactions, is wild
11,12,16,17,19, and 2k20 were all better games than 2k25.
*I haven't purchased a new 2K game since All Pro Football 2K8 😂 that's the franchise we really need back. sports and racing games are hard to innovate tbh. Unless the sport itself actually changes, there's really nothing you can do except shine up the graphics and put in a solid choice driven story mode* 👌
It’s been bad for years once 2k had no competition they got bad same with madden and fifa which was always bad
So stop buying them
@@jomelledominguez8465 I have
Another big issue with these newer sports games is that they lack re- playability after years of not playing it. In particular any sports games from the PS4/PS5 and X-Box one/series X era most of the games features don’t even work after a year or two due to the servers getting shut down. For example you’d do better playing almost any NBA 2k or Madden on PS2/PS3 or X-Box/360 and it would play like it just came out of the box because servers aren’t needed to enjoy the game and have all of its features. Not to mention the lack of competition amongst sports games. There’s no NBA Live, NBA Shootout, or even NBA Street or NBA Jam’s to compete with NBA 2k and there’s no NFL 2k, NFL Gameday, or even NFL Fever or Blitz to compete with Madden. It’s made it to where the sports gaming world is even more monopolized than where it already was with just microtransactions
Great Take Risan
@@seank2132 🤣
"You are the problem" *Proceeds to admit buying the game as well*
@@Math_0027 Well it would be pretty stupid of me to review a game that I don’t own. I literally said I bought the game for the sole purpose of making this video, in the video. Also, this my first 2k in years. The point I made was about ppl who buy the game every year and complain every year
2k25 is actually petty. I bought it when it was like 80% off. I only play freestyle,play now, and mynba. The most I do is play a game. It’s honestly so dry and plain. Madden is worse. The game is so buggy and it doesn’t look anything like the nfl on tv.
Time to go back to Live
Need Live to become good again fr
is not just sport game but almost every game have micro transactions. some are paid to win!
@@Hproawesome sports games definitely have it the worst tho
Modern gamers pay more for less
Facts‼️
Nice content
Thanks 💪🏾
I play madden 08 and 2k14 last time the leagues were fun anyway
Gaming days in 2000s still is unrivalled compared to gaming days in the present.
I can’t even play 2k25. It freezes on my Xbox and idk why. Only game doing this too.
If it’s digital NBA 2k25, you might have to delete it and redownload it. I had an issue with the PS5 or PS4 version not being able to get to the second quarter in games, I deleted it, and redownloaded it and I think it fixed it. Not sure if it’s going to work for you though.
Yea they’re so shit switched to COD and I’m so much better off man
And also depressing
Personally, as a gamer who played NBA Live 95 3 decades ago, I can say the game is of course way better but the thing that makes it worse is making it oma PvP Online competitive, despite its 2025 soon NBA2K25 is still at 60fps, this should be on 120fps next is micro shots and lastly they remove all the goods of offline modes. But playing NBA2K25 offline, even though there are a lot of bugs and shits, it's still way better and forgotten why this is the best sport. Game for decades is its achieve the most realistic fluidity. Watching my Live as my white noise is such an amazing experience that I haven't experience before. If I were busy then glance on jy tv it looks fuckin real
I bought 2k 25 after not buying it for 10 years. Lol I’m Grinding my way to VC it’s painful lol. But I refuse to pay for VC
@@laselecta9012 It’s harder than ever to get vc normally. They throttled any viable way to grind naturally. The only way to grind vc the free way is to put ungodly hours in to the game. Since you were playing 10 years ago , I’m assuming you’re an adult with a job like I am so putting in 10 hour days to grind vc multiple times a week probably isn’t an option 😭.
@@BadTakeRisanexactly. But I have played as much as I can in my spare time. But it’s a grind
Currently at 69,000 VC
Sports games stopped being about promoting the sports itself. Nowadays Sports games are just promoting of advertising, products,,microtransactions,gambling and pay to win. Sports games are about EVERYTHING, but the sport itself Look at NBA2K. The whole purpose of the "City" is to make you waste as much time possible walking around instead of playing basketball and make you walk from one places to another watching all the damn product placements on the game. Is legit just a infinity TV ad with sponsors all over the game telling you "BUY THIS PRODUCT!".
NBA 2k25 is actually a really decent game. I would rate it a 6.5/10. I mainly play offline , I don’t touch the online game modes.
@@MarktheGreenLantern Any of the online game modes require the player to spend upwards of £100 on packs or vc (MyCareer) to be playable. The base game is decent but they’ve monetised the online modes to hell. I’d give it a 5
@ ok , you’re entitled to your opinion
This the way tbh
It sucks in general look at all the bug in 2k. The anncoucer say dumb stuff like I am in my first season and I was in my 3rd f this game
i liked dc universe used to play that all the time. ain’t had to spend money to have fun on that game
Such a fun game. The true og free to play game
@ indeed , they need to make a new one
Agreed, nowadays I don't know which game to play on Xbox🤷♂
This is the main reason I stopped playing 2k, and madden. I remember the era when you payed $50-$60 for the game and played the game without having to buy extra shit 🤦🏾♂️ micro transactions are ruining games
