I saw the future of sports gaming...and it looked like a PC. Stuck

The process has already begun. The PC-ization of console gaming began with this past generation with the advent of patching games via XBL or PSN.

Now we're slowly seeing more and more of the old PC standards creep into games such as expansion packs and the like.

In my opinion, PC gaming in the early part of this decade was about as close to gaming bliss as you can get, and we are seeing consoles emulate that. Little Big Planet already encourages users to create content, as does Guitar Hero World Tour, among other games.

It's only a matter of time before my console starts fully acting like a PC did in the good ol' days with users modding games to their liking and such. Hopefully sports games follow suit and take us back to an era long lost on the PC.

Let's just hope the crash to desktop issues stay in the past.

My favorite upgrade on the PC was NBA LIVE stuff. There was a web site you could download socks, shoes, and Jordan(remember he was not represented in Video games) and the overlay of NBA on NBC theme song and overlays.
