NBA 2K is terrible. Gross, sloppy basketball that isn't a sim of anything.

But Madden, FIFA are actually good sports sims that aren't the same game every year. They're the same sport, obviously, but the actual mechanics of the games continue to be refined, and it's pretty obvious at more than the very casual level of play.

They don't get the same development on game modes as they used to, because ultimate team has sucked up a lot of that. That's shit. But the actual sport, why a lot of enthusiasts buy it? That only gets static once they run out of power on the consoles they're targeting.
