    Sports games are and have always been incredibly tame and boring.

        Upvote for a decent example. I didn’t know a modern version of this existed. The super old one is one of the few examples of a daring sports game I could think of.

          Yeah it is a blast splitscreen and I could care less about (american) football honestly, it is just good arcade fun.

      I seem to remember some games from before the 2000s being really wild. Like, i remember playing this one street basketball game where you could just attack the other team.

        You’re right, back in the 80s and 90s some devs actually had the balls to make interesting sports games.

        20+ years of enshittification has caused me to overlook them.
