Why are we giving Sports Games a free pass ?
Don't like the we part of the header, it implies everyone contributes to these simulators_
Unless Punch-Out on the Wii counts as a sports game (boxing) I don't think I've ever invested in one. They're simulators that usually give players the illusion of playing a game but are really telling players to string poorly implemented QTEs and holding down a button to watch the game play itself in animation strings that look clunky and unresponsive. However this is what many people invest in, usually the card pack micro transaction model. And that's fine, simulators are pretty awful but it's the customers choices in what they spend money on (And I'm guilty of investing in a similar model of collectible card games)
Suppose I have bought wrestling games before but it's not a sport. It is bodybuilders (also not sportmen/women) doing risky stunt acting. That's why most the success ones try to be actors or weight trainers later.
Fire Pro Wrestling is awesome though, highly recommend it. No micro transactions.
