Actually I bet that if Valve released a football game it would be called one of the greatest games ever made by most of the users here just because it has that Valve logo on it.Squarez said:

The second half of your statement I agree with. But sports games are far from boring. Most football game are boring, I'll give you that, but I've sunk many many hours of my life on the 2K basketball games (I remember the glorious days when 2K was allowed to make football games. Good times...) , and the NHL games are always good fun.Omikron009 said:
Then again, I do enjoy sports. The games are a niche genre, but its a pretty bold statement to say they're all boring.
whats all this with search bars, is a thing im apparently not nerdy enough to understandSouplex said:
Still not the best viewing experience, but it's less stop-start and is much simpler, therefore easier to watch. American football looks like an overcomplicated, slowed down version of rugby, Baseball doesn't look like an inferior version of a foreign game so I don't sit there thinking "why would anyone bother with this over cricket" or whatever.Just_A_Glitch said:
the control system is tarded? all the ones ive ever played either make passing so easy that a 3 yr old can make 3 40 yard passes in 3 downs, or impossible because you can't see the damn ball. also, it's just not as entertainig as something else, like say, fps, or rpg.
Oh, come on. The ads during the superbowl are the best we see (in the US of A) all damn year. They're a big part of why I even watch.YouCallMeNighthawk said:
To me, watching football is something I would like to do in a group, or with someone like my one-hundred-year-old granddad (the last game he watched made him throw his cane at the TV in frustration- hilarious). Gaming is something I do alone, because having to tell a mob of advice-spewing friends to fuck off is rather distracting. The Madden series just takes the worst of both worlds and glues them together.
Pfff. Most of the US says the exact same thing about what we call soccer and the rest of the world calls football. Given the choice, I would much rather watch Americanischefußball than Fußball. On TV, the former looks rather like some sort of ancient military exercise (imagination required), while the latter looks too much like a bunch of marbles rolling about in a bowl.Dys said:
However, I prefer playing soccer because the cuts in the action are few and far between, and also because I've been on the bottom of a football pigpile more than once, and I nearly suffocated. The worst thing that's going to happen to you in soccer is getting kicked in the shins- much more refined.
To each his own, I guess. I've never been more bored than the day that my father took to out to the ballgame, whereas the football game we went to is still one of the highlights of my life.Dys said:
However, baseball was my favorite sport to play when I was younger. I was damned good. I wish I hadn't stopped playing. Could have possibly gone somewhere with it.
I generally agree with the fact that sports games aren't usually fun.SL33TBL1ND said:
But it's like saying 'If you want to play counter-strike, go outside with a gun.'
or 'If you want to race, get your car and race.'
even 'If you want to role-play go and role-play'
