HAHAHAHA you have to be kidding the EA NHL Series has turned into a pile of crap... EA Sports sucks.

Bah.... 94'' through 98'' in there NHL series was great and far better than anything else(sports and hockeywise) to come out at that time... Besides a few of the maddens.(Some of those seemed crapped out though)

This however is my opinion... and hockey is my favorite sport. :D

There are PLENTY of games which have not been made yet, and plenty of innovations to come in the future. To think that we''ve done everything there is to do in the 30 years we''ve been developing games is just foolish.

I''m writing a paper right now with some of my thoughts on this issue.

In my humble opinion I think Japanese game designers are more original and better than American designers.

Dare I suggest Western players find Oriental designers original because they use ideas from another (very different) culture? How do Japanese players view Japanese games?

The issue of originality seems a bit over-stressed. I''d aim for ideas that haven''t been around in similar forms *recently*.
