We all love sports games, Madden NFL, NBA Live, NBA2k just to name a few. The graphics are fantastic, the gameplay is awesome. The players look more and more realistic with each iteration but what doesn't get real are other elements of sports.
Remember when the 2007 New England Patriots almost went undefeated but lost in the Super Bowl on a trippy set of circumstances to the NY Giants (sorry pat fans for bringing up bad memories). that feel needs to be in sports games the convergence of luck with one of a kind scenarios that only happen in real life.
Teams have incredible runs, they also have incredible slumps. players get hot for no reason or super cold and can do nothing right, that needs to be in the games. Another aspect of sports is fighting. no one wants to influence kids to be negative but these are grown ups engaged in fake life or death struggles there are bound to be flare ups when the stakes are so high. We need fights to break out on the fields of play, either from hard fouls or a team being embarrassed by a high score blowout.
Another thing not present in sports games seems to be adjustments, teams get beat one night and the next game they have studied and game planned on how not to get beat the same way again. A level of coaching like that needs to be added especially for the playoffs.
