Why are sports games always a year ahead of the actual date they were made?
Why is Madden 06' not Madden 05' THE YEAR IT WAS MADE? I never understood why all sports games must be a dated a year ahead of their actual production. It doesn't make any sense at all. Can any of you explain?
-
Well what about Tom Clancy games which are like 5 years in the future?
-
Baseball games, at least some of them, they actually post two years into the future.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lellowranger Why is Madden 06' not Madden 05' THE YEAR IT WAS MADE?[/quote] Well... because the game starts with Training camp of '05 and the season goes from late '05 to early '06.. since the this is the '05 - '06 season.. they made it Madden 06

Just blame EA they are evil producers of endless licenced tat and have a thing for yearly updates thats exactly the same but with 06 instead of 05. I hope EA become bankrupt and stop clogging shops with crap games.
-
just like a sports season, like the current football season is 2005-06. it would be back dated to call it '05, because the season ends in '06
-
What if it's an 06' game released in the beggining of 05'? Or does that even happen.
-
Well, let's say the game was made in late '05 (like Madden). Who would want to buy Madden '05 in '06? Not many people, because it's a "year old". It's the same thing with cars.
-
Ok, now does anyone actually know?
-
It's the cool thing to do... duh!
