If you buy the yearly iteration of your favorite sports video game, chances are you haven\u2019t had much to cheer about the last few years. To put it bluntly, the genre is struggling, and even the new console generation hasn\u2019t been the answer to rejuvenating it. Take just this year, for example. Metacritic scores are anything but impressive for the biggest sports around. Madden NFL 22 earned an abysmal 60, NHL 22, which promised to change its metagame, disappointed with a 74. NBA 2K has largely been the franchise to beat, but NBA 2K22 only holds a 76, some of the lowest marks the series has seen in years. FIFA 22 and MLB: The Show 21 earned the highest averages, around 78, but it\u2019s telling that none of these franchises could even crack the 80 mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This downward trend has been going for some time now, and I\u2019ve grown irritated seeing modes largely untouched and similar technical errors carrying over year to year. It\u2019s like watching your favorite sports team when they\u2019re in a slump. How long do you wait it out and watch the continual losses pile up before you just walk away and hope next season fares better?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The problem is, the hope that the following entry fares better has lingered for too many seasons now, and it\u2019s not just with one or two franchises. It\u2019s across the board. Last generation, the sports genre exploded with innovation, making sports games look and play the closest they ever have to real life. In addition, developers were looking at unique ways to build a community around them and cater to multiple types of players, from creating robust franchise modes to offering skill-based online play. And, most importantly, they were finding new and interesting ways to captivate the sports fan. Visual Concepts showed the power of sports storytelling<\/a>, making NBA 2K\u2019s MyCareer a must-play by letting you create a player and take them on a cinematic journey that delved into the highs and lows of stardom.<\/p>\n

It opened a world of potential and lit a fire in their competitors, with FIFA creating Alex Hunter:\u00a0The Journey and NHL\u2019s Be A Pro becoming a choice-driven story. Heck, Visual Concepts had so much success it even implemented a storyline into NBA 2K18 and 19\u2019s\u00a0franchise mode,<\/span> albeit with mixed results. But at the very least, developers were trying new things, taking risks, and learning from one another about engagement and what kept people playing their game year-round. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Madden <\/article>\n

These days, sports games play it safe, offering graphical upgrades and a few new features to get by, but no series is really trying to reinvigorate the formula or shake up what\u2019s been done before. And even when efforts are made,\u00a0they feel half-hearted. For instance, NHL 22 tried to get inspiration from Madden by introducing Superstar X-Factors and made a push to shake up its metagame. The problem? These X-Factors ended up being a non-factor<\/a>\u00a0in making the gameplay more rewarding or exciting, and the metagame didn\u2019t change enough to be notable, except for its flaws.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more frustrating is watching various modes just go neglected without meaningful changes for years on end.\u00a0I can\u2019t remember the last time NBA 2K, NHL, or FIFA really touched Franchise mode. Madden made an attempt this year with Franchise mode, but it wasn’t nearly enough to make it a must-play.\u00a0Even worse is the stuff that doesn\u2019t work or needs improving stays the same; NHL\u2019s dialogue in Be A Pro is laughable, and its poke check\u00a0<\/span>remains overpowered while Madden is still full of odd glitches and a clunky interface<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sports games\u2019 annual releases don\u2019t allow time for wide-scale changes, but each year has always been about the developers making smart improvements to the foundation. I\u2019ve come to expect a game in any sports franchise will play smoother each year, and specific modes will get a bigger focus with more effort toward meaningful additions. And when the gameplay starts to fizzle, developers will begin to invest in new strategies to keep it interesting, like finding ways to change the metagame or implementing a new system that changes how the gameplay feels,\u00a0like NHL 19\u2019s improved skating. But too much is staying the same for too long in a lot of franchises. Madden\u2019s gameplay code is so old at this point that the developers are just working around the same problems, from snapped-to animations to players running into each other post-play, even when they try to add new features.<\/p>\n

It also feels like sports games are at a crossroads of deciding what they need to be for this generation of gamers. I don\u2019t envy this decision, as there are many different reasons sports fans pick up the controller. Ask anyone what their favorite mode is and why, and you\u2019ll get a multitude of answers. One thing never changes, though: These games are meant to have a long tail and be played year-round. This has caused many developers to invest significantly in online-centric modes that they can keep updating throughout the year. But even here, the rewards never seem great enough, or worse, they feel very generic in their execution.<\/p>\n

The limited resources don\u2019t make the decision of what to focus on easy for developers. It\u2019s a constant tug-of-war between keeping the hardcore fans happy and bringing in new players via more casual offerings, like FIFA\u2019s Volta, Madden\u2019s The Yard, and NHL\u2019s Pro-Am. Somebody is always left out in the cold, and lately, it\u2019s been the players dedicated\u00a0<\/span>to more single-player ventures like franchise modes. Let\u2019s face it: Modes like these don\u2019t bring in any extra cash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/article>\n

NBA 2K22 probably made the most significant leap this year, trying to merge its popular MyCareer mode with The City<\/a>, its\u00a0bustling online world, where players can play against each other in pickup games and tournaments and shop around. Visual Concepts still has a long way to go with dialing down its intrusive microtransactions here, and it\u2019s still too empty to be fun to explore, but I see the potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I just saw that WWE 2K22 is forgoing its usual fall release to allow more time to shore things up,<\/a> and while the series has been full of highs and lows, I like the creativity that continues to shine in its various modes and how it caters to the things that excite hardcore fans. There\u2019s 2K Showcase Mode, WWE 2K\u2019s playable documentary where you follow the career of a legendary wrestler or a historical period and take on pivotal matches; My Faction allows you to assemble and manage your own stable to rival greats like The Four Horsemen; and this year, it\u2019s introducing MyRise, a new spin on MyCareer that allows you to guide a WWE rookie to stardom in a choice-driven adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be fair, the challenges of COVID-19 have undoubtedly made the last couple of years even more difficult and taxing for the genre. However, these problems were already coming to a head at the end of the previous\u00a0generation, and they\u2019re not going\u00a0away. A roster upgrade just isn\u2019t enough these days to keep fans at bay, and it\u2019s the loyal fans who end up feeling burned for getting their excitement up for another season, only to see the same problems pop up again.<\/p>\n

Developers need to be unafraid to push the reset button and maybe take some extra time to rethink their game. As it is, sports contain a great deal of creativity and excitement, but that experience isn\u2019t translating video games. Why? Because developers keep using the same playbook. They don\u2019t want to take the risky play that nets the glory for fear of failure, but I\u2019d rather see these games try something new and fail than give me the same tired experience I\u2019ve played for years now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
