The cost of developing a simple sports game from a leading sports game development services
provider would range from $30,000 to $50,000. But the more the complexity increases, the
more the cost would be sometimes ranging to millions of dollars.
There are numerous reasons for this. One of them is the increased complexity that results in
additional work being required. The more the number of game modes and the more complexity
that is there for the game, the more time that is required. Extended time results in a
higher budget due to reasons such as overheads and other costs.
There are numerous types of sports games. The categorization is not often based on the type of sport that is replicated by the dominant gameplay mechanics:
As a rule of thumb, a simple game can take from 3-6 months for production. More complex games
can take somewhere between 6 months to 12 months or even upward.
The amount of development time required for sports game development varies from project to
project. It depends on the complexity of the project, which is the main factor.
