Seriously,i always think of that question.We're getting MLB 10 this year and already seeing news about MLB 11.Madden 10 was a blast off and who know what will happen 5 years from now.Sports have always been in our life and now it's in the videogame biz,and doing an outstanding job.So basically i'm just wondering if sports games will last forever or will they stop at a certain point in time(which i don't want them to).

As long as you feed the evil that is EA, they will keep releasing patches and calling them "new games".

I don't see sports games ever falling off. There is always an audience for these games and unless that audience drops off dramatically, then sports games will keep on coming.

They're not going to die. I mean we've been getting yearly sports games since about 1992. Do you really think people are suddenly going to get tired of the now?

We will get sports games as long as there are sports that people want an accurate gaming representation of.

Sports game are a big seller. People love watching and playing sports and video games just add to that excitment. Personally I have not played a madden game back since 96 (Genesis FTW :)). I do love the NHL games when you turn off the offsides and lower the penalties.

I'm hoping pretty soon, but a lot of people like them, so I'm saying a fair while.

As long as there are video game sales, there will be sports games. Some may die out, others may not do yearly versions, but there's always a big fan base for sports games. I know in July, I'll get the new NCAA Football game, it's one of the rare months I always know to look forward to every year.

theres such a huge overlap of gamers and sports fans that i see sports games as a permanent fixture in the industry.

This. Most sports have people that enjoy watching. And, as fun as watching is, playing is better. But not everyone has the means and supplies to play the sports in real life, so the virtual world helps to satisfy the desire to play.

I don't see what will cause sports games to end. Of course at some time there is gonna to be a need for some level of innovation and we don't need a new one every year. Back before there was the internet we needed one every year with updated rosters. But with online services you can update the rosters daily without the need of yearly releases.
