The problem with Sports games is that EA has a monopoly on every major sports league, with the exception of the NBA and MLB which are with Take-Two and Sony respectively. Back in the day, you had a variety of developers making licensed sports titles, each bringing a unique flavor to the genre. Now you only have one choice, EA. If Sports games want to get back to their glory, then the leagues themselves need to open up to smaller developers. Stop with the favoritism and ridiculous prices for licenses. Let anybody who wants an NFL license, buy an NFL license.
