8 Video Game Franchises That Do The Same Thing Every Time

2. "We Swear It's More Realistic This Year!" - Every Sports Game Ever

Games such as Fifa and Madden are in quite an odd spot where they are insistent on releasing a new game every year, but with very little innovation accompanying each entry.

That means instead each year we get the same recycled promises and 'new advancements'. The graphics can only improve so much between the years, but the developers would have you think they've revolutionised the game. Adding more beads of sweat and some slightly more realistic animations really isn't worth all the fuss they make over it.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make such a big song and dance about it. But nope, every year a ridiculous amount of time at game expos is dedicated to just showing off the same sport games every year with the same recycled boasts.

It would be really refreshing if one year they just came and admitted they've tweaked the game a bit to represent how players were doing in real life. That's all we need to hear really.
