I troll you not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and hockey is fundamentally more fun than any other sport, so inherently it makes for better videogames. The others sports start at a distadvantage.

I'm not buying the cat game if there's a hockey minigame in it. I MEAN IT!

This would actually be the *only* reason to support Catastrophy—a hockey mini-game with cat-goalie and/or FelinePowerPlay is needed and necessary, IMHO.

This thread needs more Power Golf 2!

Honestly, I couldn't get into much other sports games. I do remember putting in some obscene time with the TV sports games when I was much younger*

Still digging Power Eleven and Formation Soccer series. Cheap thrills but kind of strange to think that they were priced similarily to the top tier games when new. Hmm Formation Soccer J League or Soldier Blade, nah gotta go with the J League.

That's funny, I never thought about the price of new sports titles. Obviously, it would have been a worthwhile purchase for sports fans.

But, damn, it's a rare sports game that is worthy...

Why should sport games prices be lower ? They're not cheaper to develop.

Speaking of sports games Meta: 

It always interests me that World court tennis featured a RPG aspect... a game which was a spin off of earlier titles. (And that the base of the game was literally reused for Final lap Twin a strange RPG spin off version of Final Lap. ) Personally I think it's kinda a stroke of genius by Namco compared to words on a menu select between games and actually gives you a story to your rise of greatness.  I can't think of a sports game since that gave you as much of a  story.  I think modern games might be able to  do something similar and bridge the gap between RPG players and sport game Players.  No one has really done it sense, and probably for good reasons, but i think it is something that would be really neat to see done.  Too often video games have bad story telling in favor of graphics. Stories are what we all do all the time, we create them, we collect them, we watch then, we tell them. 

TLDR:
RPG sports mash up games are cool: PCE had 2
I'd like to see more games like this in the future
Story telling is important, many games have bad storytelling.

P.S. Gredler is crazy Hit the Ice >>>>>>TV sports Hockey
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

They shouldn't and I didn't mean to imply so.
However I don't think the complexity, quality or effort put into the game influenced that much to the MSRP price (atleast in Japan). It was mainly the ROM size and possible additional chips.

They are when you release the same game each year, only updating stats and sometimes changing a few variables. That's why almost all sports games released for North America are worthless within a year and clog up used game bins, even when priced as low as <$1.

Yeah I know that. But aren' we talking about early 1990's games ? Sports games were not released each year back then.

Early FIFA games were really underwhelming in my opinnion. Especially when compared against the EA's own brilliant NHL series.
I played quite lot of the early FIFA games on PC and I would say the first good one was 96. Not sure about 95, that was SEGA exclusive but looks similar to the first FIFA.
I too vouch for ISSD being the best football game of its time, and NHL being the best sport game series.
FIFA 95 is quite nice. Has quite good graphics and sound. It controls well. It’s fun up to a point, there’s a bug that if you just run down the touch line and shoot near the end the opposing goalie will just dive straight up in the air and you will score every time.
