The best way to do it is to actually go back and re-work it from the root of the problem and allow for a more cohesive product.Other things such as physics as well, cannot be fixed with simple updates. Honestly, if you want the best example, just look at Total War Rome 2 and look at the patches it added on. While it fixes a lot of the issues, it still LOOKS like a mess and fails in comparison to the games prior, and even Attila.
Well... Technically, a patch could add new game mechanics, or re-worked AI, and just about anything else really...
What did they change in manager mode?
Let's be honest though guys, there is only so much a sports game can do to make new things in terms of gameplay. When you pretty much nail the gameplay to any given series, you can't REALLY do much else aside from twerks and a few other additional things.That's not to say some games don't have fundamental flaws (Madden) and need an overhaul (if it's still getting compared to 2K5, a game made over a decade ago, something is wrong), but the games that DO nail it (such as MLB The Show) really can't do much more than sell the authenticity of their product.

It's just missing that unpredictability, pacing, and a couple details to fully hit max potential. As of now though, I would say it's the best sports franchise out there imo.

lol NHL in comparison to almost every other sports franchise is probably the worst.
Howeverrrrrrrr it's the only "good" hockey video game and it's a blast to play with friends so whatcha gonna do?
That's the real issue.
Quote from: Saladin on August 22, 2015, 05:27:50 PMThat's the real issue.Tell that to Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, and any other yearly releases as well.
Let me just take Luciana out of this quote.Quote from: TBlocks on August 22, 2015, 05:43:25 PMlol NHL in comparison to almost every other sports franchise is probably the worst.It's hockey, Madden or UFC.QuoteHoweverrrrrrrr it's the only "good" hockey video game and it's a blast to play with friends so whatcha gonna do? Buy it used?Buying it new only tells EA that you support this shit, to be honest. Not tryna get preachy but that side of me comes out a lot more nowadays >.>
They could start by not releasing the same game every year, because there's nothing they can do to it.

The new FIFA is actually great
