GameZone writes, "Sports games used to be about beating the computer for a championship and embarrassing your friends when they came over to play against you. Sports games then evolved into playing your friends and random strangers online at the tail end of the PS2/Xbox era and was fully realized this generation with advances in technology and high speed Internet. This year though, sports games took another massive leap in connecting you, your friends and the sports you love by introducing Connected Careers in Madden NFL 13 and Online Association in NBA 2K13."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy
EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.

I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.
If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.
The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen

"We broke down eight games that use licensed songs so well it’s hard to imagine them without."
The man who sold the world from MGS V? If any song is to be remembered from that game it's Here's to you by Joan Baez/Ennio Morricone. That scene gave me goosebumps.
Stupid article. Music in games should be recognized for their impact like the crossing into Mexico in RDR. Not just tunes on the disc
and Both have terrible glitches
