WC - I think sports games get a harder time than they should do. People seem to pass the off as something that are churned out yearly to make a quick buck, but that actually disregards the work and creativity these titles bring. A new year brings new features and further refines already exiting systems, lot of the times, dramatically. I remember the jump from FIFA 11 and 12 being a tough re-configuring with the inclusion of a new defensive system. But that had a purpose.
Former FIFA boss David Rutter has relocated to Sweden to oversee EA’s European studios including DICE, Criterion and Ghost Games, VGC understands.

To what? See how they can use FIFAs monetisation crap in every other games ¬¬
will probably add fuel to planes and tanks etc where if you run out you have chance to buy more during the game and charge for bullets like paintball
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
Right there with you guys, it feels like no matter how many new features they add they couldn't stop the series from going backwards. I genuinely regretted not buying Pes (which has its own problems)
