So I was talking with a friend and had and idea...

I'm not a big fan of sports games (except NHL games), but I was griping about how sports games have not really changed at all over the years. Every franchise is the same each year, but with slightly improved graphics, updated rosters, and new dances in the end zone, maybe if they're feeling creative they'll add one or two new moves.
Sports games started out as just an arcade style game (pick your team, play one game), then you could take a team through a whole season, after that was franchise mode, and now you can play online. Not bad, but I would like to see more. So.....
I propose lifestyle mode. You can create a character, and based on difficulty level, did you make it to the playoffs, how far into the playoffs you went, did you win any awards, or the championship. Maybe they could base it on online play. But depending on how well you did, you get a bonus (or a virtual paycheck) that you can use to buy exclusive stuff for Playstation Home. You know, really nice things to make your virtual apartment look pimped out like your favorite athletes.

Anyhoo, sorry for griping about sports games before getting to the point.
