Yep, this is it right here.
Smart game devs knew that in order to make these games suitable for vidya they had to strip back a lot of the rules, speed up the game, and take loose definitions of physics/reality. There was a clear golden age for these types of games (Golden age: NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, NHL Hitz) followed by stuff like NFL Street and NBA Street which tried to bring some of what we were missing from the bygone arcade-centric sports games while adapting them appropriately for home consoles.
