&gt;Sell sports game<br>&gt;all teams/players available for the year bought (IE you buy in 2019, you get 2019 teams/players but not any others)<br>&gt;need to purchase a new year to get any updates (stuck in 2019 unless you buy 2020, stuck with 2019 and 2020 until you buy 2021, etc)<br>&gt;could still have vs mode with inferior old team against superior new team (IE 2019 Lakers vs 2020 Lakers)<br>&gt;would still "encourage" people to update<br>&gt;could still charge full price or lock specific players/teams behind pay walls (IE must pay $20 to play Harlem Globetrotters or something)<br>I could see this being the way forward. Sports games are pretty cancerous imo.
