With NCAA 14 being the last installment of the series following the NCAA's contract non-renewal with EA Sports couple with MLB 2k13 failure in sales, sports game seem to be in decline. NBA Live is trying to make a comeback after a 3 year hiatus which might add some spice to sports games. Sports game lack competition and need for innovation. In baseball, MLB The Show is a clear winner over 2k. In basketball, 2k put EA in a brief grave. In football, EA has bought exclusive rights making it the only game. There will no longer be any college games and no boxing has been released since Fight Night Champion. In soccer FIFA reigns supreme. Their will be no next-gen soccer game this year. I think sports games are on decline.
