MLBTS 23 wins best sports game of the year!

@SevisonJN any source to back up the statement that they break even or take a loss on the game?
If that be the case then it could make financial sense for them to consider de-annualising the release of new games and instead focus on strategies to keep the current game fresh.

All you have to do is go onto Metacritic and see what users rate these games. Not critics but users.
I trust users on Metacritic, good or bad, far less than I trust actual game reviewers.
I mean look at this stellar, well-written 0 star review.
anyone who rates a sports game that came out in the past 5 years higher than a 3 needs mental help
That's the whole review.
So, no, I won't look blindly at some aggregate user score to judge a game.
You clearly went and found one so I’m sure you can weed out the garbage. Kind of like avoiding your 100 posts whining about Goldy.
Hey, I am still kind of shocked that none of the 2022 season award winners actually got an award card for it in this year's game.

Competition isnt there. NCAA Football coming out this summer. Lets see what happens.

This was my least favorite year since 2018

2023 was the best game so far for a simulated game of baseball with the correct Slider settings. I hope it contines for 2024, you can keep the casual DD stuff but keep improving the core simulated aspect of the game.

This game won’t matter anymore than Madden matters. Especially now that they can’t “copy” real life players anymore. How many real players will sign their likeness over for $500 if that’s still the amount? All the nobodies will be real and starting players made up fake players. It’ll impact it more than you think not having the major NCAA players all over that game or the ability to make them.

@fubar2k7 Guys will be jumping to have their likeness in a video game. Are you kidding me? 90% of these guys will be out of football completely when they graduate. This is an amazing opportunity for them. And of course the stars will be in as it will help grow their brand. I think you will be surprised.

@ChuckCLC_PSN Not for $500 they won’t. Arch Manning made $3.8 million off likeness in NIL money. He isn’t a stupid person.

@fubar2k7
@ChuckCLC_PSN also talks about expanding his their brands. That would be the smartest move for most high profile players. In the draft, if I'm between two players that are similar, that branding could easily make me choose one over the other.
Yes, Ohtani was sought after by everyone, but he is worth over 700M because the Japanese public and businesses will pay it over the next ten years because of his brand. The Angels might as well have been called the Japanese national team the past three years.

I didn’t say they won’t do it. I said they won’t for $500. Ohtani didn’t sign for the $20 million they’ll pay over the next 10 years. He signed for the $700 million you referenced. The no name kids might do it for $500 but the stars will never take just $500.
Doesn’t matter either way. The same people who make the worst NFL game ever are making this. What makes anyone think it’ll be any better?

@fubar2k7 most already said they will do it for free.

Very true. EA is the gaming world's Lindsay Lohan. Great at first, with some really promising stuff only to end up being a coked up company that cares more about their nightlife than an enjoyable product.
My point is Ohtani built his brand before being able to fully cash in. Manning needs to build it first. Probably at a different college next year.

I dont play online so can't comment there but only play offline. I think 23 was the best offline experience in quite a while. Since 17. Gameplay improvements really were phenomenal this year.

@SevisonJN
Those games were fun though.
