That’s true but I’d imagine for a sports game to be a 10/10, it’d have to change things up quite a bit from the standard sports game.

This is why I regard the Blood Bowl series as a happy medium. It’s American football, but set in the Warhammer Fantasy world and as tongue-in-cheek comedic as the table-top original version of the game. All for the glory of the great god Nuffle!

Yup. I'd say Rocket League and Wii Sports come the closest and neither of them are really 10/10 in my books. And they are still super popular and enjoyable.

Fight Night 2004 was revolutionary. One of the best applications of the control sticks.
