Gaming - Worst Game Genre - View Post

Single-player sports games are conceptually flawed. In a video game it is expected that if the player is skilled enough, they will defeat in-game opponents every time, or almost every time. But in sports, say baseball for instance, the very best players make an out more than half the time they come to the plate. The best teams win 70-80% of their games. Playing a season of a sports game knowing you'll win 90-100% of your games if you bother to play all of them is not fun. But if the games were balanced to defeat the player more often, the player would be investing hours into games lost by no fault of their own, also not fun.

Sports games are dumb.

Ah forgot sports games, havne't played them in so long.  But yea whats the fun of playing Madden when even on the highest difficulty you average 100 poitns a game.  Your running back has like 10 TD's and 600 yards.  Just stupid.  

Dont like playing with friends either, cause the ones that like sports games are athletes themselves, and competitive athletes and thus HATE to lose.  So it gets to where they are pissed off and become not fun to hang out with if you beat them.
