Because simply, they aren't good. You can't take a sport, which involves physical activity, and put it on something controlled by fingers. It won't work well. Granted, there are good games, occasionally, like tennis and soccer, but for the majority, there isn't a point to them. The whole point of a sport is to ensure that you're not doing other things, like video games.

I like soccer games, although my favorite sports games ever are NBA Live 96 for genesis and Mario Tennis for GBA. I tend to play sports games a lot fr a few weeks and then get burned out.

they are hard to enjoy if you arent into the actual sport, they are repetitive, and most of all, there is no need to spawn a new game every ***** year just to change the characters namesplus they try to be too realistic, something more arcade (capcom sports club, any of the mario sports) is funier to play

The only reason they hate is probably first off not good at sports themselves and they just don't like the games that have to deal with sports...But I love sports game....Madden...NHL...NBA....MLB...

I wouldn't say people hate sports games. EA Sports is still doing quiet well just repackaging games every year.I tend to dislike them in general, but they can be a lot of fun sitting down and playing with (or against) friends in the same room.

It really depends on the game for me. Most realistic sports games (like Madden, Fifa, etc) I find incredibly boring. On the other hand, quirky titles like Mario Golf and NBA Street are a lot of fun.

Only sports games I'm really into is baseball. When you play the MLB, AAA, AA, and A teams for your franchise for the full seasons it takes up enough time as is. LOL!I mean you are talking 162 regular season games just for your MLB team alone not counting any of your minor league games.

Yeah, I hate them. It is better to go out to the world and explore or practice a sport, instead of being locked in your room playing super star soccer or games like that.

I don't like them because if I wanted to play sports I would play them. But I don't, so why would I play a sport video game?

Because no video game can compare to going outside and actually playing the sport itself.

My biggest problem with sport games are that they are pretty much the same every year. They never change anything except for the lineups and some of the stats.

Most new sports games are the same as the older versions. And I would play a lacrosse video game cuz we desperately need one.
