They're gone :(

It started with MVP 05. That was the last baseball game. And it was great. Especially after it got modded to hell.

Then NHL started to suck hard. And now its not out.

Finally, EA will not be releasing Madden to the PC for the second year in a row.

What gives?

because we didn't buy their inferior crap. They would port us the PS2 versions each year and we got wise and didn't buy them.

We got smart and stopped buying their inferior garbage.....hell, I never brought ANY of their sports games because although I'm not a sports person, isn't it better to just play the actual thing outside? but yea, EA make crappy PC ports of their sports games.

I would love for sports games to come to the PC, but they are just not as popular. Oh well, I have a 360 anyways so I don't miss out, but I can't help but wish some of my favorites were ported over.

They are better played on consoles and hardly anyone gets them for PC. NBA 2K9 came out for PC but was inferior to the console version.

LOL! You've named the two worthy sports titles. PES 09, got mixed reviews, but I love the PC version - I've been playing it for months now, and keep coming back to it. NBA 2K9 is a beautiful game to look at, but my god is it ever difficult! Even playing as the Lakers I lose most of the time (against the CPU). You've gotta love that price tag though - $20. If 2K keeps the price at that level I'll buy the new version every year. But personally, I'm looking forward to PES 10. They've got a bigger team working on the game this year. I'm also hoping for a FIFA return to the PC. This game, on the PC, should be so much better than what it presently is.

Because of a few simple things 1. PC gamers arent gonna buy the same game over and over again 2. Sports Games are more laid back when you have your friends over kind of games which is pretty ideal for consoles

I'm not buying a new football game unless:

a) EA steps their game up and introduces Madden on a Euphoria engine

OR

b) EA doesn't buy the NFL license again in '12 and someone else releases a superior game

EA is the cancer of the sports gaming industry.
