I see your point in the career making, but as games goes it isn't a sport rpg, it's a sport game with RPG element. RPG involves a lot more than what you described in there. Because even though you write your way to the championship, there isn't really a story going on.

On racing games I like sega rally, and love gran turismo. So I would like more simulators for console.

I agree, there isn't a story in the traditional sense, but who said a story was mandatory in a Role Playing Game? Role Play is a concept that goes beyond the gaming industry. It's used for instance in job interviews and job training. It involves assuming the role of a particular entity. So, why can't it be the manager of a football team? I know RPG has a rather specific meaning in the gaming community. But why not broaden our perspective?

About racing games, if you like simulators, you should be happy with Project CARS, Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally. They have brought true simulation to consoles.

The idea of role playing game is to tell a history, not only to play a role. Because on the playing role part we already were doing that as children when we played pirates, medics, etc... rpg began on lord of the rings and fantasy... but telling a story is the core of it.

I have Project Cars (it isn't that good of a game)... Assetto Corsa I didn't see it yet for console, and neither did Dirt Rally got close from my memory of Sega Rally. I miss the good times of GT2 rally racing.
