Why do Gamers Still Accept Yearly Sports Sequels?

[BreakABone]

I don't buy that though.

There's no rule against patching in features that improve a game. Tons of companies do it. Hell, I still don't think Epic has worked out just how they want Gears of War 2 multiplayer to work 2 years after the game was out.

And again, I realize there are new players, but we have companies that put out gig or two worth of DLC for a single game. This is a single download. And you are telling me that with a graphics engine in place already, EA or 2k couldn't fit new roster members into an update that size?

My whole point is, there are many ways to improve the game on the table right now without releasing yearly sequels. And they can still charge for the DLC and turn a profit.

The only point I will concede is that not everyone has internet, but again if gonna charge for DLC, they can charge for a disc with the content to install on your hard-drive.
