Sports Titles Named Misleadingly?

Posted by simoniker on from the nbl-blitzball-2400 dept.

According to an accusatory column in the sports section of the New York Post, naming the 2003-season sports videogame titles as 'Sports Game Title 2004' is dishonest. The writer suggests that "..when it comes to selling video games.. Major League Baseball and all big-league sports eagerly sell their licenses and logos to manufacturers who can't or won't tell the simplest and most significant of truths.." Have you been confused by this naming method, or do you think it's fair and understandable?

    I thought I was getting technology from 2 millenia in the future! Those lying bastards!

    What about Mystery Science Theater 3000, or even worse, the Gruntmaster 9000?! What about Warhammer 40000?!?!?!!!

    It's worse than you can imagine!
