Also, good. Sports games are shit, and the only people that play them are the "I'm totally a gamer, see I have video games" guys that actually couldn't care less about video games and willingly buy the literal exact game year after year solely because the number on the cover is 1 higher.

I only ever played one, it was some shitty icehockey game for N64 and I didn't even play it for the icehockey, but sometimes you could start brawls with people, so all I did was foul players to beat them up afterwards.

There's nothing wrong with sports games and liking sports games.
EA's business practices are another thing entirely.

>NOOO we can't have regulations! it'll destroy the industry with evil government meddling!
Then what do you propose we do?
>NOTHING, don't ever question our corporate overlords. they can do whatever they want. just don't buy their games
And what happens if they buy out a franchise I liked and proceed to destroy it with lootboxes?

Make sure to call your senator's office and tell them you are "In favor of Senator Hawley's upcoming Loot Box Bill".
Their secretaries personally brief them on who called with what opinions. If you live in a republican state it is especially important that you do this. Mention that you are a parent and you don't want your child being exposed to gambling.
This will probably be the senator's first time hearing about the bill, and first impressions matter.

Are all sportsgame relying on lootboxes now? Haven't played a sport game since NHL 2007

Hm, maybe sports games or sports in general are not your cup of tea and I can understand that, but to write off an entire genre is silly and immature.
I myself would rather go out and play the real deal, but there are - or WERE some fantastic sports games that are tremendously fun playing with your friends.
My emphasis is on "were" - and as cliched as this phrase sounds; they don't make them like they used to anymore.

NHL '94 is to this day the best ice hockey game you will ever find and it's a fucking riot with another player. Even if you never had anything to do with ice hokey in your entire life. International Superstar Soccer 64/'98, then there is Everybody's Golf. Another gem is . MLB The Show is probably the only series left that hasn't been completely whored out and run into the ground.

I myself really miss the sports games that had a fun spin on them like NBA Jam T.E., Hit The Ice or Nintendo's sports games. These are just unmatched in terms of fun for local couch multiplayer.

Main reason get hooked on these are games like fifa with their ultimate team mode. This is why they don't update the game and instead resell it with a different number every year.

>Your team from last years game cant be ported to new game
>Your time and money wasted. So instead of grinding you just buy packs for the best players

The only companies that would suffer from sports games going under don't deserve to be afloat anyways.

>It reminded me of a conversation I had with a flummoxed parent whose kid wanted to spend money on virtual crap in a video game — the video game he made. The guy was a developer for NBA 2K and this was right around the time Virtual Currency’s tendrils were first reaching into the game. His children were no different than anyone else’s, they wanted to pay money so their players were great immediately, even if their dad designed the very same game. At the time, 2K Sports’ ownership was starting to reckon with what it had on its hands; Grand Theft Auto Online wasn’t even a year old.

>This guy was trying to be a good parent; he was also trying to do a good job, knowing how much it depended on beancounters’ happiness with the bottom line NBA 2K generated. But once willing sellers became aware of willing buyers, there was no putting this genie back in the bottle.

Sports games are soulless, it’s not a loss

I don't know user I don't follow anything Islamic.

Don't really play sports games but maybe someone knows. You can make a game about any sport, but you can't use real player names or likeness, correct? So if I wanted to make a sports game but not pay for licensing, could I just make a character creator and let the players make whoever they want instead?

>billion dollar licenses
as if, the games are cheap as fuck to make and generate shit tons of profit off of no effort mtx garbage, nice of polygon to report ESA propaganda and pretend it is news.

>So if I wanted to make a sports game but not pay for licensing, could I just make a character creator and let the players make whoever they want instead?
You could do that, WWE games have been doing it since Smackdown 2 but you wouldn't even need to go that far you could faithfully recreate everyone from a football team for example, change up their likeness a little so it's recognisable/obvious but not exact, and you'd still be fine.

Will literally said nothing wrong though
You just read "toxic masculinity" and immediately disregarded what he was saying

There is no way the license for all the teams, sponsors, etc costs anywhere near 1 billion. Not even close. Even fifa would not be that expensive.

I know, NBA basketball sucks

It isn't and in most cases there won't be any fees at all if a deal is made to split profit. It's just another bullshit spin to demonize pro-consumer action.

Tried that with Blitz the League, but it didn't work. It worked for NCAA Football for years that someone would rename the rosters and share it (lookup filename or user and then save a copy locally). But the games released with QB #2 having the same measurements and shit as their real life counterpart. You would have to have the rosters randomized on initial startup. You can pay for teams and shit in college, but players are a no-go. Probably still for at least a decade.

Pro leagues it's easier because you can negotiate with both the league and players association separately if you can't pay for both. At the end of the day, it's a lot easier to get officially licensed teams and have someone else name the players.

Don't publishers get these licenses through bidding?
If so, the games would 100% still get made.

>sports game
>without your favorite team or players
The teams and players are the biggest reason why sports games have such mass appeal. Get rid of that and your game becomes literally who.

Demand is the issue. Publishers want games out every year so they're "up to date" and even back during the N64 days a single year to develop a new title wasn't enough let alone today so you end up with half finished games that run like shit.

Yep. EA paid boatloads to exclusive NFL license and just kept getting worse. Not to mention they skipped almost 2 whole console generations until Madden was put on PC last year, first since 2007. Then 2K retaliated by buying out multi-platform MLB license and eventually quit. Only MLB the Show remains. NBA 2K was legitimately one of the best games on the market so much NBA Live went to their NHL team and that was so fucking bad the franchise was shelved until 2014. Then it skipped 2016 before coming out again recently. Very small compared to 2K and their market dominance and thus laziness.

College sports stopped because they always had low sales and then they didn't feel like wanting to put up with the whole paying student athlete business. Those games usually had better features than the pros, but never got enough attention.

That's literally all it is. The bill will include all kinds of shit that will make things worse rather than better. It'll be "anti-predatory" like The Patriot Act was "anti-terrorism". Meaning not at all, and will just be an excuse to pass unnecessary laws that violate people's freedoms.

The thing that makes this even more retarded is that LOOT BOXES ARE ALREADY ILLEGAL. IT'S CALLED "CHILD GAMBLING", WHICH IS ALREADY A CRIME. They don't need to "ban" "loot boxes". They just need to enforce the laws that already exist. Start arresting video game industry executives that have green-lighted loot boxes (since they're guilty of running child gambling operations) and the problem will stop.

I am too low intelligence to contest EA's practices. Thank you EA, for milking my fellow citizens like the cattle we are.

fucking retard.

I hate child labor but I also hate the government getting involved in things they don't need to be. I'd like to see companies that rely on child labor to fail but as it is, the market has spoken on these things (they want them). Parents should more carefully monitor where their kids are working rather than getting the government to do their jobs for them

It's a known fact that this place is flooded with people from Reddit and Pedoera.

why don't they just make a sports game with made up teams and players?

This. I bought NBA2k with my Dreamcast when I got it. Such a great game. I decided to check the series out again when they gave away 2k16 on PSN. Niggers as I like to call them.

because sports fans are braindead retard fanboys who absolutely need their mutt ball kickers when they're nothing but generic units with random stats slapped on on the games.

The fact that sports gaming is in the state it is with mobile game tier microtransactions shows that sportss game players are the knuckle dragging retards

The last sports game that I enjoyed (that wasn't mario) was NFL Blitz on playstation 1. You could do a wrestling moves on players after you tackled them, shit was cash.

there was this gaming news article about sports fans being surprised about the whole battlefront2 fiasco because paying out the ass for RNG is the norm for them.

literally 50iq retards.

I'm flattered that you copied my post but in your attempt to make a point, I fear you've unintentionally made an excellent one. Child labor SHOULDN'T be illegal, but it's just another place the government has gotten involved where it had no business

They are literally sheep.

God, I wish.

Both FIFA and NBA2k microtransaction systems are cancer.
And it's a shame, they could be incredible games, despite the mediocre gameplay.

>Yea Forums willing to give up their rights to "pwn" EA.
EA will not get it's comeuppance. While there is no right answer for an industry that failed to regulate itself, having the government do it for them is the most retarded of the bunch. Politicians have been trying to weasel their way in the industry for decades, and you all are so retarded to roll out the carpet for them. Unlike the most of you, I don't want a mandatory console shutdown because I didn't pick up a +40hr shift.

EA paying big bucks for exclusivity so they can avoid competition has nothing to do with loot boxes.
Frankly it should be legal to viciously beat game "journalists".

Sports fans are literal knuckledragging retards. Some may complain, but they will ALWAYS buy the new yearly edition and they will suck that dick no matter how bad it smells, much like CoD players. Because of this, EA has had access to a near-infinite supply of retardbux because these people simply accept lootboxes as normal, and this has given them an absurdly large cushion that allows them to bounce back unharmed no matter how badly they may have fucked up elsewhere. It's a lot like how Epic, because of Fortnite money, can afford to act like a bunch of shitheads and absorb bad publicity - because the moneymaker keeps them secure.

If this bill actually goes through and is properly enforced with no real loopholes, it would pretty much cut EA off of their emergency fund, severely injure their presence in the stock market (because microtransactions make so much money it's artificially inflated their share price and without the ability for them to provide the sales supporting those share prices anymore they'll drop like stones and make a lot of rich idiots very mad) and force them to potentially actually have to deal with the consequences of their fuckups, including losing their sports licenses because most of the money came from MTX. Best case scenario, they'd actually have to try and make good games that draw a larger audience instead of timesinks that get a small audience and drain it dry.

Ideally, The ESRB is getting a wakeup call and fully realize why they were established in first place with all of this talk of a possible government regulation, but the industry would flare up like a bad case of herpes with it's typical bullshit when they think they're in the clear. We're all damned either way no matter who manages.I would suggest finding a new past time at this rate.

>ESRB
>regulating lootboxes

ESRB can't do shit.

You're right, children should be allowed to work, drink, smoke, and own guns. The government shouldn't be involved, it's the parents responsibility and this is a perfectly sensible take

Is that a fucking blackcube? Do Polygon employees kill children to gain powers or curry favor?

ESRB could literally just deem any game with lootboxes("gambling") with an AO rating. No soccer mom is going to buy Battlefront 3 with an Adult rating.

Trust fund babies and whalers would still buy it.
And lootboxes being considered "gambling" is still being argued against.

I fucking hate nostalgia fag. Most new sports game are actually really good, their issue is that their business practice is dog shit. As much as you want to hate on fifa, nhl, nba etc at least they're at a soid 60fps most of the times. The issue is that there's isn't much difference between each iteration and the loot boxes non sense. I had fun with NHL 94, but you are fucking retarded to think that it is the best hockey game.

Nobody gives two shits about rating on box.

>Trust fund babies and whalers would still buy it.
So?

so nothing changes

Good.

Just how many Trust Fund Babies and whales with disposable income you know?

sports game stop being made, where do you think the "cancer" is going to go. Think of sports game as a containment center the same way Fornite keeps the kids in check.

Weren't they talking about a popular restaurant that made specialty pancakes or some shit before Morgana even said anything, why did Joker's entire hunch rely on a wild fucking guess?

ESRB is an interest organization created by the industry to keep government from meddling, they just do what they're told. They've been looking the other way with gambling and loot boxes and claim "contains in-game purchases" is enough.
Them doing anything risking the profits of their puppeteers is as likely as tobacco campaigning against smoking or OPEC fighting fossil carbon emissions.

ESRB won't consider making a game AO based on a definition on gambling that is still being contested.
It'll cause too much controvesy for them and make it even more of a laughing stock to companies. It's either the nuclear option or not at all.

Are we finally ridding the videogame world of jews?

Is the bill even posted online somewhere for us to read? All I’ve seen is talk about the bill but the text for the bill doesn’t exist publicly on the obvious government websites.

Why do they write like this? Why don’t they just write “Steam adopts a zero censorship policy” it’s a neutral headline. These just sound like angry biased opinions which is the complete opposite of what journalism is supposed to be

Sports games are pretty much Idol games but instead of music and choreography you get grown men throwing tantrums because another player slightly touched them.

Because they are activists, not journalists.

I'm not, the government doesn't need to prevent companies from ruining games.

P5 is pretty poorly written all around, it's full of bizarre contrivances and fake outs.

The fact that it's hard as fuck to just get actual, exact drop chances on things is telling in it of itself. Fucking actual gambling is more open about how things work, primarily because of regulations that stomp on these sorts of things. Are EA lootboxes tailored to your gameplay experiences? Do they change your chances to keep you from burning out on buying things? Do they lower chances of certain things they detect you're after? Who the fuck knows. If the videogame companies had even met the most basic of reasonable requests half way instead of stubbornly digging their heels in at every fucking opportunity, they wouldn't be in the mess they're in now.

Just shows how deeply corrupt and deceitful the AAA scene is and their paid smear merchant shill "journalists".

I used to love sports games before they put the emphasis on Utimate team/cards. Career/franchise modes have really stagnated, even taken a step back (in Madden's case) since the lootbox era started.

ESRB is a SELF-REGULATING board from publishers, and has their own vested interests in the market.
They have much more to fear from upsetting publishers than government intervention. At least with government intervention they can just throw up their arms and say that the government said so so they have to do it.
You forget that the ESRB is part of the ESA which has said lootboxes aren't gambling. It can't go against their parent for fear of reprisals.

I don't
Fuck ActiBlizz, hope this fucks them as well

something about lootboxes only containing cosmetics also you can buy characters without using lootboxes

Communism.

>"""sports""" vidya will die in our lifetime

Thank fuck for that.

Blizzard ran World of Warcraft for half a decade without a single p2w microtransaction even after they merged with activision. Meanwhile EA started charging for obnoxious microtransactions and p2w bullshit the moment consoles got online stores where you could buy digital shit.

where are my Soccer Slam niggas at

I'm not the kind of retard who thinks government intervention will be any better. We're just going to be paying $80 for video games instead until the publishers find a new kind of jew trickery to mitigate for lack of lootboxes now with the government's seal of approval. Or are you just one of those le blackpill cum burping faggots?

>casuals will be paying 80 bucks for their yearly Madden
I fail to see the issue

> We're just going to be paying $80 for video games instead
Implying you aren't going to be doing that regardless if companies can make more money from raising prices.

You're the kind of retard who thinks lootboxes are subsidizing video games and thinks doing nothing and finding a different hobby is somehow preferable to government intervention.

>getting rid of lootbox kikery will stifle innovation! video games will cost $120 without pay to win microtransactions trust me guise

>regulation bad! letting billionaires fuck you is preferable to any alternative!
Fucking mutts

reminder that microtransactions are ONLY acceptable in free to play games

Kills me how hard we fought against Republicans in the past and now one senator says "lootbox bad" and you Ns just open your asshole up for big regulation cock.

I fucking hate you people.

>industry can't regulate itself and engages in shitty practices that hurt the consumer
>government has to step in and regulate that shit themselves
This is how it works in literally every first world country, mate.

>MUH REPUBLICANS
>YOU Ns
yikes on bikes

I've noticed in good F2P games it really functions as a price lock. The cheapest microdicked tranny will be like $5 and give you a shitload of inventory and actual armor and aside from that the rest are just vanity items.

That's fucking tyranny though

How does a lootbox hurt anybody? Lootboxes are great because it's an instant no purchase. Easily to filter the trash.

>I need the government to tell me how many cheeseburgers I'm allowed to have per day
Fucking weak willed shits.

Games will still suck just as much then as they do currently. SJW shit will still be in games, preorder shit will still stay the course I'm not implying that lootboxes subsidize shit, but you know those publishers will literally fathom crazy bullshit to make up for no lootboxes.

Or maybe they could just actually sell the characters and cosmetics directly

Damn tyrannical child gambling laws.

>muh free market

How does SJW shit hurt anybody? SJW shit is great because it's an instant no purchase

How does preorder shit hurt anybody? preorder bonuses are great because it's an instant no purchase

How does pay to win shit hurt anybody? pay to win is great because it's an instant no purchase

Easily to filter the trash.

Sports gamers are something like 70% or whatever that table said of PS4 owners so literally who cares.

The only thing I have second thoughts about is the first, because "SJW shit" tends to have a very sliding scale definition

Tyranny to fight another tyranny.
If factory owners and execs did not chimp out with kikery every time you leave them alone, laissez faire would be a successful system.

Reminder that Communism and Capitalism are different sides of the same coin

I read about a cigarette shill that tried to get a child to claim her mother’s death due to lung cancer wasn’t caused by cigarettes but something else. They lose their minds and believe they are fighting some holy crusade.

I’d be okay if they stopped other bullshit in games like disc locked content too. Giver shit government go for the kill.

"sport games" aren't vidya

>Senator wants to ban loot boxes in games with a below 18-age rating
>Senator also wants to ban all pay to win/pay to not grind crap in said games
Why would I not love this? 12 years later and the industry might finally get slightly better instead of just worse.

>it's tyranny to implement laws

YOU NIGGERS BETTER START POSTING GOD TIER SPORTS GAME RIGHT THIS VERY FUCKING MOMENT OR I WILL KILL EVERY SINGLE TRANNY, JANNY AND NIGGER IN THE VICINITY.

Solid post

I love how Yea Forums can never bring up a proper excuse for wanting legislation that doesn't boil down to "I don't like gacha games reeeeeeeeeee"

Stuff like this is just a slippery slope to becomming a nanny state. I pray you never get to the point that Australia has it where you can't even have tits without getting banned.

The only sports game I ever enjoyed was the first one I played

>slippery slope argument
reminder that it's the companies in america that are censoring things right now

Oh user I'm so ashamed you wouldn't believe

I quit buying sports games because they plaster that shit with nothing but nigger music. Even fucking Tiger Woods had nothing but a rap soundtrack. You figure they have a setting to disable the music for the menus but nope, have to mute my whole TV before a game starts.
I didn't even know sports games had gacha shit until last couple of months. I know you could P2W in The Show, which helped you get into the big leagues before all the players retired and the whole game became randomly generated players.

A BLOO BLOO
