No. I'm using Buzz and SingStar to show that he's and hypocrite.

Sport franchises don't need to be yearly, specially in this day and age. A DLC roster update (which is what most of them are and why they're easy to develop) priced at $10-20 should be enough.

But this is false. Publishers who hold these licenses are contractually required to release a new version every year. If they don't, they risk losing the license.

I was talking from a technical standpoint, but I seriously doubt that would happen. In fact, EA didn't lose the NBA license when they stopped making NBA Live and Sega didn't lose the ATP license.
