Quote:You can pretty much apply this to just about every "sequel" game out there. The gaming industry is a bunch of recycled content with added "features" and improved graphics. 

 

EA gets the hate for Madden, but the 2k sports series for the NBA hasn't evolved.

 

Even non-sports titles like RPGs and FPS games are basically the same games with improved graphics and pretty much the same gameplay.

There's a difference of quality in those two series. 2k tries their best to make it realistic as possible and has a very nice core foundation with their engine. They don't need to change anything because it's almost flawless in terms of visual realism. Every player looks just like they do in real life, and they're able to get their tattoos down to perfection. Madden is built on a wonky engine, physics are weird, players don't look like they do in real life, the stadium/crowd is lackluster, and not to mention the unstoppable cheese plays. One is meant for just having fun (which Madden is, it's a fun game) and the other is for people that like simulation.
