For better or for worse, I'm sure I'll be able to look back at the decade of 2010 as one in which Ultimate Teams and card collecting modes became the main focus of many games in the world of sports. Since each of NHL as well as Mut 25 coins eliminating franchises online within the last decade, it looks like it was a time when the companies that produce games for sports began putting a lot of their resources to games that can generate the most revenue from microtransactions.
It's the first decade that gamers are forced to think about investing money in the game, beyond the cost of buying the game. I'm still playing and enjoying the majority of these modes, like MyCareer in Madden where buying VC is almost mandatory in the event that you don't have the time to spend on upgrading your game the traditional method, but I've got many mixed opinions about this move. If the higher revenues result in better products in the coming decade, it could be beneficial in the long run however I'm a bit nostalgic about the time playing games that were simple and much less of a money purchase.
I will always remember the launch of the Xbox One and PS4 consoles with a massive disappointment. I was extremely excited to buy the PS4 along with Madden on the same night. The advertisements had me excited to get into the game and I was convinced that the game would make a huge leap. The game, however, wasn't fully developed as my most loved and the only mode that I use (online leagues) ended up being a total disaster. It was a complete rush and left me feeling disappointed that I bought the PS4 the first day.
I bought Madden for each PS5 and PS4 as Madden was a disappointment. I was not impressed with the first game of Mut 25 coins for sale on PS4 neither. The initial experience was terrible, but I'm now satisfied with the experience. PS4 has made positive advancements through the use of PSVR as well as the PS4 Pro. But, I think we could be further ahead. I am excited about the next generation, but am wary of unrealistic expectations. I'm hoping that the systems will continue to push the limits of graphics and game modes. I also hope that games aren't too entangled in money-making games like Ultimate Team, but I believe it's here to stay.
