    Are the ea spoets franchises starting to do poorly as they seem to be giving them away quite a bit. Or have they just devolved into microtransaction platforms instead of regurgitation of the same game with new logo and player names?

      The nature of their release cycle is that enthusiasts are going to buy it on launch. They’re not losing sales doing it this way.

      They also aren’t the same game. Rosters might be why casual fans upgrade, but the advancement of the sports sim is what (non micro transaction hell) enthusiasts are paying for. The progression from year to year is abundantly obvious in higher level play.
