It was the first time that I did this actually. But I find it fun!
As far as what you said, I don't really understand your responses. First off, are you trying to say that competitively, people never played sports games? I think we don't have the same definition of "hardcore". Hardcore isn't the same as competitive, for me at least. That's pretty wrong, and says a lot about you in general. And what does it says? Are you trying to personally attack me or something? Going back, there weren't too many different types of things you could have at tournaments or competitions, and half of the games used FPSs like Doom, Quake, or Counter-Strike. Most of the rest were fighting games like MvC or Street Fighter, hell, there were even KoF and other games there too. Other ones would have sports games, almost always Madden, but occasionally some Baseball game. You can't actually deny this happened.
I'm pretty sure most sports games actually control and feel pretty good, especially big titles like Madden of MLB, given that they've been basically releasing the same base principle for over half a decade (some more than a decade if I remember correctly) at this point. All they can do is tighten up the controls, AI, graphics, and game in general since they can't exactly bring in many new things to it. The main interest in sports is not the physical aspect of it. Your main interest in sports might be, but believe it or not playing a sports game is about a lot more than just the physical part, which is something you'd know if you'd ever seriously played one. And don't give me the "but but but I have played them a few times" that I know you're already thinking of, I'm talking about putting just as much time into one that you put into your other games. I'd respond to your thing about children's toys, but that doesn't actually make any sense. Are you trying to say kids don't like to play with toys about sports? Because there's this entire little company called Nerf that produces things which get kids running around that might disagree with you.You missed my point since sports games DO NOT get you running around.
Basically, I don't know why I'm still responding because you literally just typed "I perfectly understand that people can like different things" and then said that I "didn't give you a good reason" as to why other people like it. If you really can't understand why that sentence is such a huge contradiction then there's no reason for me to respond after this because you are figuratively plugging your ears and yelling "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU".I don't see how that is contradictary. I don't care about people liking other things, but I try to understand why they do. And lol at the classic "there's no reason for me to answer, I win the argument."
Edit:
Hahaha holy crap, way to miss the entire point.
