ซีรีส์กีฬารายปี ถือเป็นเรื่องปกติอย่างมากในยุคก่อน เพราะการจะใช้ลิขสิทธิ์ให้คุ้มค่า ผู้พัฒนา จำต้องปล่อยเกมออกมาปีต่อปี เพื่อทำกำไร และนี่ถือเป็นความท้าทาย ของผู้พัฒนาเกม ในการรักษาคุณภาพ รวมถึงเพิ่มอะไรใหม่ ๆ เข้าไปในเกมให้ได้ ภายในปีเดียว
.
แม้ในปัจจุบัน จะมีหลายซีรีส์ ที่อยู่รอด แต่ส่วนมาก มักได้รับคำวิจารณ์ไปในทิศทางเดียวกัน คือขาดความสดใหม่ เสมือนทำมาขายแฟนกีฬาไปวัน ๆ เกิดเป็นคำครหา ว่าทีมงานพวกนี้ ไม่มีทางพัฒนาอะไรดี ๆ ได้อีก

สำหรับ PGA Tour ซีรีส์กีฬากอล์ฟ ก็ประสบปัญ...
Continue ReadingYearly sports series is highly normal in the early era because of the copyright worthwhile. Developers need to release games year-on-year to make a profit. This is a challenge for game developers to maintain quality and add something new. In the game in one year
.
Even in the present, there are many series that survive, but most of them are criticized in the same direction. Lack of freshness. It's like selling sports fans for the day. It's a word that these teams can't develop anything good.
.
For PGA Tour, the Golf series also experienced that problem. PGA Tour Golf (1990) initially launched with a good score. Most of the Golf Games in that period. Almost all media were named ' Golf Game at the same time. Best right now ' huge excitement for the industry
.
This series has been ran into PGA Tour Golf III (1994) before modification to the year like other sports games in PGA Tour 96 (1995) until the game arrives at PGA Tour. 98 (1997) so we meet the first ripple obstacle.
.
Can't deny that PGA Tour Golf's previous part scored all the best, but the commentary is a decrease from the first ever first episode of ' Best Golf Game Now '. Turns out the next sequel can't do it. I have to say that I have tried to do it. But it's not always.
.
Violence happens during PGA Tour 98 with clearly different reviews. Many media comments ' Best Golf Game s' as usual, but many more media say graphics are obviously outdated even the play system is a part. Well, since they've played this for many sectors, they can't cut their minds to give more points.
.
Even PGA Tour 98 created the biggest scars at that time for the series, but for the fan of the game, it's not a big wound. It's just a score of 9 to 7, which is said accordingly. Right on the game. It's done well according to its standards.
.
So this time EA is pushing it full-time by signing Eldrick Tont ′′ Tiger ′′ Woods, the number one golfer in US Masters 1997, over 10 million US Dollar U.S. which is a high amount. At that moment (counted for more than 20 million dollars now)
.
Tiger Woods 99 PGA Tour Golf launched in 1998 with quality that is not different from the previous part. But Tiger Woods is the look to make the game in this episode very popular.
.
After that, many episodes in the series make landslide sales. But for review, it looks against the dramatic developments. The latter 2000 and upwards are commentary on the 'mix' period, barely reaching the level. Another 'good' after Tiger Woods became partners.
.
So is it because of Tiger Woods? Let me tell you that it's not, but it's because of the yearly game. It can't be much done because this time is not time for developers to come up with ideas or break any frames because the game they make cuddle am to give enough profit. Go pay for copyrights
.
If you're a golf game fan and good notice Tiger Woods 99 to 2003, there's almost no change but graphics and minor play systems.
.
Even during these 2004 games will become talked about again due to new cuddle function and spheres of the play system. But like good things won't last long when PS3 and Xbox 360 show up. Coming to golf games on new platforms, taking them downhill again.
.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 becomes the ' least ' game in the series. Despite the game is standard, but with the portfolio that doesn't seem to invest in anything, it makes the game almost forgotten by the fan game.
.
After that, they encounter the same problem every year. It can't keep the ' same ' series and the inspiration to find something new to put in the game. It's almost no effect in the latter part even the score of the game. It hasn't fallen into a bad game, but for a golf fan, his life seems to have stopped since 2004
.
This is what happens to every sports game that has evolved over the years. For example, it's a WWE Smackdown vs Raw series. It starts from great quality every year. There are some that come back to peak but After that, it will come back to the moment that it becomes a long time to talk about now.
.
But PGA Tour's problem doesn't stop just at the game during 2009, Tiger Woods started to have life problems, both wife cheating and skillful golf. Even Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 will be a fresh episode. Again, but when this happens, lower sales are undeniable.
.
After over 12 games in October 2013, EA announced that Tiger Woods contract has been cancelled. Both parties agreed and won't have any games in the next year. They signed Rory McIlroy for the replacement. This announcement makes fans expect very much as they will have time to review. What time to develop to refresh the game after not for long time.
.
But the repetition of the Rory McIlroy PGA Tour that anyone expects to be a new hope of this series. Become the last coffin nail in a way that nobody thought it could be.
.
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour debuts with the ' least in history ' score of this series. Although the series is talked about through the article that it can't maintain the original standard, but it's not a lot of parts. The game still marks 70-80 For all the time, sometimes the number 6 isn't that often happened.
.
But for Rory McIlroy PGA Tour to launch with lower points. Some offices are kind. They will give 5-6. Some offices who think they can't take it. They will give only 4 to go. Each office gives similar reasons to confirm. It's really not going to take it anymore.
.
They started watching the EA portrait of realism in a way that was never before. But after the sweet time ended, the bitterness begins. The game is blamed for the contents cut off in many old sectors. Especially the most hit Career mode.
.
Started by cutting Bonus Objectives, Practice Rounds, Career Schedules and The Trophy Room. This is very important of the game to the size of the size. Commented on IGN.
.
′′ If a professional golfer's path would be worthless, Rory McIlroy should go to study and take an accounting doctorate. Better come to climb as the number 1 golfer in this game
.
After such an incident, the critics have come to hard game, EA gave up on the golf industry and let PGA Tour's contract be cancelled. Closed 25 years of golf game legends into the past.
.
For EA, PGA Tour officially defeated by the previously defeated sports game. For similar reasons, it couldn't keep up with their frenchise standards as well as the first golf hole with a very high score before ending the last hole with an unintelligible score. I'm sad but I can see that I ' lose '
.
After that, the copyright fell to 2 K Sports. Born as The Golf Club ™ 2019 realistic golf games that the golf fans haven't touched for 4 years after the last PGA Tour.
.
Recently, HB Studios developers hold hands with 2 K Sports to become PGA Tour 2 K21 which is on sale in the future. Let's see how much they learn from the previous events and how to deal with the one year crisis. I have come to school again.Translated

Allen Iverson scored 37 points in his MVP Season vs. Orlando Magic

One of the most controversial Basketball players of all time, Allen Iverson is one of the most loved and hated figures in Basketball. Born Allen Ezail Iverson in Hampton, Virginia, he grew up very poor to a struggling mother and a father who deserted him. Growing up, he was very athletic, playing football and basketball throughout most of his education prior to college. Iverson began focusing on basketball at his mother's insistence, despite wanting to be a football player. He proved to be a talented basketball player. At Bethel High School in Newport News, he began his high school basketball career. He developed a reputation of talking a lot and being uncoachable. To say he had a rough childhood is quite an understatement. On one of his places of residence, he walked through knee-deep sewage daily. During one summer, he witnessed the death of almost ten of his closest friends. Iverson first came to the national spotlight in 1993 in a controversial incident surrounding violent events at a bowling alley in Newport News. While the events that happened there will never be fully known, the generally accepted story is that some white students got into an argument with Iverson and his friends. The first question surrounding the event is whether he started it or if the white kids started it. Also, the question surrounded whether or not he assaulted a white woman by hitting her over the head with a chair. The prosecution insisted that surveillance tapes undoubtedly showed Iverson was the culprit, but in reality the tapes showed nothing conclusive. Two factors did him in at his hearing; first of all, two white people said they saw him assault the girl. Secondly, the judge was from the very conservative southeast Virginia establishment and did not have any sympathy for Iverson, his background or his talent. Seeing that Iverson requested a bench trial, this was crucial to his case. To add fuel to the fire, Allen Iverson flew in for the weekend from a tournament to be in Virginia for his trial. This played into the prosecution's hands and also upset the judge, both of whom saw this as evidence that Iverson did not respect the law. He was sentenced to a 5 -year jail term. This case sparked a tremendous amount of national attention. The case caught the interest of Bill Cosby and Spike Lee, who would be a fan and advocate of Iverson for many years. People all around the Newport News area started a movement to free Allen Iverson. He spent only four months in jail. Governor Douglas Wilder pardoned him. This move all but ended his political career and sparked another controversy. Wilder was also black, and white voters in Virginia viewed this move in a very racist light. Iverson was viewed now in much of white America as essentially a convicted felon who was out of prison only because a black man was governor of his state. Iverson got out conditionally, however. He had to adhere to a curfew and could not play basketball until he got his high school diploma. He could not accept a scholarship to the University of Kentucky but did get a scholarship once he completed his high school education in a learning center. During this time, he received his nickname, the answer. He was called such because his friends said he was the answer to basketball's conformity so to speak, people that conformed to this family friendly image, such as Charles Barkley, Isiah Thomas and most importantly, Michael Jordan, who was a childhood hero of his. He accepted a scholarship to Georgetown where John Thompson coached him. Thompson became somewhat of a father figure to him, but he was hard to manage, and the two had a workable but very turbulent relationship. Iverson completed only two years of his education where he became the top NBA draft pick in 1996. He was drafted by the ailing Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. Iverson is immersed in hip-hop culture. This made him an incredibly controversial figure in basketball. His clothing looked more like a gangster rappers than it did Michael Jordan's. On the court he seemed to embody the gangster rapper's image. He had an arm covering on one arm when he played, and also was one of the first players to have cornrows; a hairstyle up until that time was popular in prison. To make matters worse, he had an incredibly "in your face" style, which did not sit well with older players like Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and others. Jordan said of him when Jordan's Bulls played Iverson's 76ers, that he had no respect for the game. Despite this, no one denied Iverson's talent. He could hustle the ball, could get around even the tallest players. He became known for his fast drives to the baskets and his ability to fake the ball in a move called the crossover. Spike Lee lost respect for him when he turned down his invitation to star in the film He Got Game (1998). As a very pointed move, Lee cast former collegiate rival Ray Allen in the part. The Sixers found themselves suddenly a respectable team. They acquired a new coach, the unusual Larry Brown. As a player in the ABA almost twenty years ago, Brown was also a young outsider fighting the system. Larry Brown now was a button-down-suit-and-tie coach. The two did not get along well at first; in fact, their relationship at best was serviceable. Brown was always unhappy with Iverson for not showing up to practice. Iverson insisted his game was pure inspiration, and he had little need for practice. The two rarely saw eye to eye. He received a tremendous number of awards in his short career. He was named rookie of the year in 1997, and on more than one occasion, he was an All NBA First Team, NBA All Star, was an All Star MVP, and received perhaps what was his crowning achievement to date when he was NBA MVP in 2001. That year, Iverson led his team to the NBA finals, but had a rough ride against Kobe Bryant and 'Shaquille ONeal's Lakers. They lost the championship in game five of the series. It was still quite an achievement because the Sixers had not been to the finals since Dr. J (Julius Erving) and Moses Malone led them to victory over the Lakers in 1983 in a 4-0 sweep. Iverson has over 20 tattoos. Each tattoo is a symbol of his life. One denotes the name of his group of friends he has known since childhood, Cru Thik, another who says the answer, another who is dedicated to his mom who is a strong presence as Sixers games, and many others. He married his high school sweetheart Tawanna Turner and they have two children.

One of the most controversial Basketball players of all time, Allen Iverson is one of the most loved and hated figures in Basketball. Born Allen Ezail Iverson in Hampton, Virginia, he grew up very poor to a struggling mother and a father who deserted him. Growing up, he was very athletic, playing football and basketball throughout most of his education prior to college. Iverson began focusing on basketball at his mother's insistence, despite wanting to be a football player. He proved to be a talented basketball player. At Bethel High School in Newport News, he began his high school basketball career. He developed a reputation of talking a lot and being uncoachable. To say he had a rough childhood is quite an understatement. On one of his places of residence, he walked through knee-deep sewage daily. During one summer, he witnessed the death of almost ten of his closest friends. Iverson first came to the national spotlight in 1993 in a controversial incident surrounding violent events at a bowling alley in Newport News. While the events that happened there will never be fully known, the generally accepted story is that some white students got into an argument with Iverson and his friends. The first question surrounding the event is whether he started it or if the white kids started it. Also, the question surrounded whether or not he assaulted a white woman by hitting her over the head with a chair. The prosecution insisted that surveillance tapes undoubtedly showed Iverson was the culprit, but in reality the tapes showed nothing conclusive. Two factors did him in at his hearing; first of all, two white people said they saw him assault the girl. Secondly, the judge was from the very conservative southeast Virginia establishment and did not have any sympathy for Iverson, his background or his talent. Seeing that Iverson requested a bench trial, this was crucial to his case. To add fuel to the fire, Allen Iverson flew in for the weekend from a tournament to be in Virginia for his trial. This played into the prosecution's hands and also upset the judge, both of whom saw this as evidence that Iverson did not respect the law. He was sentenced to a 5 -year jail term. This case sparked a tremendous amount of national attention. The case caught the interest of Bill Cosby and Spike Lee, who would be a fan and advocate of Iverson for many years. People all around the Newport News area started a movement to free Allen Iverson. He spent only four months in jail. Governor Douglas Wilder pardoned him. This move all but ended his political career and sparked another controversy. Wilder was also black, and white voters in Virginia viewed this move in a very racist light. Iverson was viewed now in much of white America as essentially a convicted felon who was out of prison only because a black man was governor of his state. Iverson got out conditionally, however. He had to adhere to a curfew and could not play basketball until he got his high school diploma. He could not accept a scholarship to the University of Kentucky but did get a scholarship once he completed his high school education in a learning center. During this time, he received his nickname, the answer. He was called such because his friends said he was the answer to basketball's conformity so to speak, people that conformed to this family friendly image, such as Charles Barkley, Isiah Thomas and most importantly, Michael Jordan, who was a childhood hero of his. He accepted a scholarship to Georgetown where John Thompson coached him. Thompson became somewhat of a father figure to him, but he was hard to manage, and the two had a workable but very turbulent relationship. Iverson completed only two years of his education where he became the top NBA draft pick in 1996. He was drafted by the ailing Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. Iverson is immersed in hip-hop culture. This made him an incredibly controversial figure in basketball. His clothing looked more like a gangster rappers than it did Michael Jordan's. On the court he seemed to embody the gangster rapper's image. He had an arm covering on one arm when he played, and also was one of the first players to have cornrows; a hairstyle up until that time was popular in prison. To make matters worse, he had an incredibly "in your face" style, which did not sit well with older players like Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and others. Jordan said of him when Jordan's Bulls played Iverson's 76ers, that he had no respect for the game. Despite this, no one denied Iverson's talent. He could hustle the ball, could get around even the tallest players. He became known for his fast drives to the baskets and his ability to fake the ball in a move called the crossover. Spike Lee lost respect for him when he turned down his invitation to star in the film He Got Game (1998). As a very pointed move, Lee cast former collegiate rival Ray Allen in the part. The Sixers found themselves suddenly a respectable team. They acquired a new coach, the unusual Larry Brown. As a player in the ABA almost twenty years ago, Brown was also a young outsider fighting the system. Larry Brown now was a button-down-suit-and-tie coach. The two did not get along well at first; in fact, their relationship at best was serviceable. Brown was always unhappy with Iverson for not showing up to practice. Iverson insisted his game was pure inspiration, and he had little need for practice. The two rarely saw eye to eye. He received a tremendous number of awards in his short career. He was named rookie of the year in 1997, and on more than one occasion, he was an All NBA First Team, NBA All Star, was an All Star MVP, and received perhaps what was his crowning achievement to date when he was NBA MVP in 2001. That year, Iverson led his team to the NBA finals, but had a rough ride against Kobe Bryant and 'Shaquille ONeal's Lakers. They lost the championship in game five of the series. It was still quite an achievement because the Sixers had not been to the finals since Dr. J (Julius Erving) and Moses Malone led them to victory over the Lakers in 1983 in a 4-0 sweep. Iverson has over 20 tattoos. Each tattoo is a symbol of his life. One denotes the name of his group of friends he has known since childhood, Cru Thik, another who says the answer, another who is dedicated to his mom who is a strong presence as Sixers games, and many others. He married his high school sweetheart Tawanna Turner and they have two children.
