Great read with some very good points.

NBA 2k series has alot of 'where did they go features'.

The one thing I really miss about NHL '94, is that during the intermission of the playoff games they'd have an out of town scoreboard and take you to another game, where they'd either show a highlight, or the final two minutes of a close game, or something like that. It boggles my mind how the Sega Genesis could support in-game highlights from games around the league, but we can't get them in any games today.

The author missed some of the most basic things missing from Madden like the timeouts remaining indicator and multiple/adjustable camera angles...

Yeah there's a lot of features that could be mentioned, especially about Madden- but about all sports games. I think we get the point of the article however, but it's nice to see all the other ideas being thrown out here. There's so much more missing than we realized... not good at all.

Anyone think some of the reasoning for this is the 1year dev cycle? Is there just not enough time to get it all in? Or has the licensing gone overboard and the respective leagues dictate too much of what can and cannot be in the games?

I love how madden had the pass/run commit one year, took it out the next, brought it back later and labeled it as "new".
