The NFL has been on a mission to suck all of the fun out of the game. This offseason the target was the post touchdown celebrations. The league has added more offenses that could result in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. A leak from inside the video game company that produces the annual Madden title says that there may be more changes ahead.
The source says, "The NFL offices have contacted us with some amendments that they would like to add to the upcoming titles. They would love to utilize the camera systems that come with the PS4 and Xbox One systems to call unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on players at home who celebrate their video game touchdowns too vigorously. We originally thought that it was a great idea to add to our game's online experience, but the NFL wanted us to also include it in all game modes."
These moves would obviously be a huge effort to add the realism to game. Sucking as much fun out of the video game brand, would certainly add to the feeling of being at a real game.
But taking the fun away isn't the only goal, the game developer went on to say, "We have also kicked around the idea of fining repeat offenders, and suspending accounts for certain offenses. This should let the player feel just like his favorite pro."
Whether this will come to light this year has yet to be officially annouced. Stay tuned for more on this story.
