More in-depth sports games ie: Madden, NBA 2K, Forza, soccer FC 25, etc.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much my kids and I truly enjoy the NEX Playground experience. The family-friendly environment and engaging activities are a big hit in our household, and I appreciate the effort you've put into making it fun for all ages.

As a parent, one thing I’ve noticed is that while the current games—especially the sports-based ones like bowling, soccer, and basketball—are enjoyable, they could benefit from a bit more depth to keep kids more engaged.

One idea I had was to introduce more strategic elements into the sports games, turning them into simplified versions of popular titles like Madden, NBA 2K, Forza FC 25. For example, in a football game, players could choose a basic play (such as a pass or run), and then physically act it out—moving to dodge defenders or mimicking a throwing motion, which could be picked up by the camera. The game wouldn’t need to simulate a full 11v11 team—something like 4v4 would work well to keep it fun and manageable.

You could also include basic team customization or abilities to add variety and replay value. The idea isn't to compete with the depth of full-scale sports games, but to create a more immersive and interactive experience that combines movement with light strategy. A similar concept could be applied to basketball, racing, or other popular sports.

By adding a layer of strategy and progression, I think you’d have a great opportunity to retain your current user base as they grow older and look for more from their gaming experience.

We’re big fans of the NEX Playground and really hope to see it continue evolving in exciting ways for years to come. Thanks again for creating such a fun, active gaming system for families!
