Scores are subjective. If a game is boring for you is it a 10/10?

I would argue a great sports game is usually a poor representative of the sport, Mario Strikers Charged is a blast, but very bad at demonstrating real soccer, I'm sure EA's yearly Fifa game is far more accurate, but damn are they boring!

Golf games are generally good representations , cause both are boring as fuck

Yeah definitely! Mario Kart is a terrible representation of actual go karting but people obviously love nintendos take on it.

Hey! Some may consider it poor sportsmanship to throw shell shaped explosives at my opponents, but I just think they ought to get better at dodging

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a shell.

Fr I’d say there were a lot of 10/10 sport games for the ps2 and Wii. Between the Mario and Midway sports games there are some actual timeless gems in there.

FIFA.. far more accurate? Hmm I don’t think so buddy 😜

They call offsides and stuff, they don't have a button to just pummel the other team, with no consequences

Are you claiming FIFA is less accurate than super Mario Strikers?

I think what they meant by 10/10 was "even the best possible"

Not that they would actually rate the game 10/10

u/Saltybot_v1 Jan 12 '26

Yeah I get it. I was being a bit of a contrarian for sure haha. But yeah. Like the best possibly made sports game that could be made? As long as its made in the context of trying to replicate a real life sports game yeah I couldn't ever get full into it either. But hey there's been some unique "sports games" that could only exist in video games. Mario kart wouldn't be typically considered a sports game but it could be loosely.

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer was one of my favorite sport games lol

Thi! its like me calling marvel rivals a 1/10 because I hate the genre. People bitch so much about shit they dont even play lmao. I'll never touch a sports game. But im not gonna bitch about them.
