Why did sports games never get popular aside from FIFA (and to a lesser extent Madden and NBA 2K)?

The other girl she always teams up with is clearly on so much fucking juice. I don’t understand how pro athletes don’t get caught. I don’t understand why they make such a big deal out of testing while letting very obviously unnatural athletes compete. They’re all juicing even if they don’t look like it, of course.

FIFA is mostly consumed by third worlder and decent amount in some yurop country with developed football league while NBA 2K mostly consumed by niggers.

>why games based on popular sport are popular and games based on something nobody cares about are not
Truly a mystery.

Gamers are not really into sports so only games about really popular sports get popular. Unless the game is actually good and falls into the current zeitgeist like Tony Hawk did.

Sports games are almost always in the top 10 when it comes to most played/most popular games. FIFA, Madden, and NBA 2K always rank high. Extreme sports games used to do really well too: Tony Hawks, Skate, NBA Street, NFL Street, FIFA Street, SSX, etc. And even combat sport games were really popular: UFC, Fight Night, Ready 2 Rumble, etc. I don't really get the point of this thread because sports games are really popular and are almost always ranked pretty high when it comes to sales and even mtx. A better discussion would be about the death of extreme sports games and extreme sports in general. I remember growing up in the late 90s, early 00s everyone I knew watched the X-Games and cared about skating, BMX, snowboarding and all that shit. Nowadays it seems like nobody gives a fuck at all. I think the last time I heard people even talking about the X-Games or extreme sports is when Pastrana did that backflip or that one dude almost died trying to do a 1080.

Do zoomers even go outside? I thought they spent all their time doomscrolling on their phones to demoralization propaganda. Used to be kids liked things like BMX and Tony Hawk because even if you weren't doing a back flip yourself, you would still spent time outside on your bike or skating to a friends house.

You know how long it's been since I saw a kid using roller blades? Forever.

I miss those old baseball games catered towards kids, those were the only ones I ever truly enjoyed when it comes to sports games.

>roller blades
It's been forever because rollerblading is for faggots and girls.

>>720736279
roller skates were for fags and girls, but literally every boy in the 90s had roller blades

The loss of Arcade Sports games is an overllooked tragedy.
Just imagine a fun minigame collection of nothing but fit girls....imagine it.

this is a metaphor or europe

Another thing that has objectively hurt some of the extreme sports games is a combination of stingy licensing rights and marketers not wanting the games to appear so violent. Like you won't get another NFL Blitz again because EA owns exclusive rights and the NFL is a bunch of jews that don't want kids growing up thinking football is violent so they can end up as braindead retards later in life with multiple concussion .
