The wide world of sports isn't so wide anymore. Every sport has an offseason, but while we're in this quarantine, every sport has to be in their offseason. People use sports to get away from the stresses of life. They turn off their brains for a bit and cheer for men and women bumping into each other for a small trophy. Whenever these athletes weren't on TV, video games would usually come to the rescue and help fill that void. Whether it be football, soccer, hockey, baseball, basketball, golf, or even cricket; there were a multitude of titles out there to help scratch that competitive itch in many different ways. Today, these sports games aren't hitting their goals as much as they used to. The quality is getting worse, gameplay is either frustrating or boring, our choices are severely limited, and the game companies' mindset is about getting our dollars with microtransactions instead of putting out a satisfying product.This week, Andy and Amar give a play-by-play on the state of sports video games. How did we get here? Is there anything we can do to go back to the way it was? Are we stuck like this until actual sports come back, whenever that is?
