Glad I don't play sports titels, but bloody hell. In addition to paying for a full game and getting bunch of MTXs and season passes. Now we need to suffer through ads as well.

Why the hell are we even paying for a game in the first place. I've seen free mobile games with a better approach.

If I'm paying i don't want to see any ads, how hard is that to get through to CEOs?

Either way, when you’ve paid $70 for a game, the idea that you then are still going to be bombarded by commercials as you play is pretty damned galling

Oh, I'd say that it pretty much tracks the sports experience that it's trying to simulate.

An average NFL game: more than 100 commercials and just 11 minutes of play

Remember when Jared Kushner and other ghouls bought them

I've lived 43 years with never buying an EA sports title. I think I'll manage the rest.

The entire concept of EA releasing a new 2K sports game every year is absolutely asinine. The fact that people shell out money for that bullshit is even more ridiculous. There are usually little to no changes from one game to the next outside of simple roster updates, which is something that could easily be done with a game update or they could have setup a subscription service to autoupdate rosters. EA is a shit company that creates shit games and it enshitifies every games it gets the rights to.

It is so incredibly kind, all the marketing that companies like EA are doing for indie titles completely free of charge!

If you buy an EA sports game nowadays... you're kinda looking for it. But hey, your money, your rules, I guess? Enjoy it, I suppose.

I already avoid their games. Indies and other good studios are more worth it.

They're desperate. What happened to all the live service games that were supposed to bring billions and billions of dollars forever?

The only titles I recognize from EA lately are Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 6.

And I didn't buy them. Because EA fucked me. And also because they don't work on Linux.

So what's everyone's favorite Indie sports games?

LOL sucks to suck, competitive "gamers." Single player for life, bitches.

Great era is incoming adblock in games...

Why would anyone play that shit?
