I’ve played, I’ve coached but I enjoy managing sports teams into greatness. My knees don’t work like my thumbs do. Welcome to the sports gaming podcast, Franchise Ain’t Dead, where I shine a heavenly light on the sports gaming landscape that is Franchise & career modes. Whether you’re a long time hardcore gamer of these modes or just a casual fan who likes to dabble in building teams from the ground up, I want to talk about the foundational mode to many sports video games. Each episode, we’ll explore different sports games & topics, from the latest releases to timeless classics, and discuss everything from content creators who play and influence the game to development teams who are creating some of the latest offerings as well as real life aspects we would like to see from future titles and those who add that extra spice of life to your gaming experience.
