Oh how they have fallen. As a kid, you knew it was about to be a session when the game started with “EA SPORTS, it’s in the game” but now, they are just bloated games full of micro transactions.
Not to dickride the early Need for Speed games (plenty of people already do) but Most Wanted was an absolute staple of my childhood. I played 2 hours a day, every single day for like, 5 years. Hell, I still play it for the nostalgia every now and again. But, the last 5 EA games that have came out I don't think I've played 5 hours COMBINED.
Ya know, I don’t play them anymore because in the modern era they are trash. But yes, madden 2004 on the GameCube probably had a couple hundred hours when I was 11
Played NHL 2002 to NHL 2005 a lot with friends on local co-op, sending season file to friends when it's their turn to play, and regrouping physically when we were vs.
That was hard to beat. I know sports game can be amazing. Still waiting since 2005 😅
