Well, if you could read, you would notice the part in my last few posts that say I PLAY FOOTBALL. But you're right, I should try out

Yeah, that's what it is, but it's a common argument technique. Set yourself up as right, other people as wrong, and then go from their. Most importantly, never admit that there might be more than one solution to a problem.

Ok, so I don't read very well. That being said, the question still stands. Why play video games?

I think I can sum up what the guy is trying to say.

When we play a sports video game, we as football fans, expect to see a resasonable representation of what takes place on the field.

The definition of "reasonable" varies for everyone However, I think when most of us see thinks that fly in the face of what we know is "right" about football, we are going to want to know why.

That is just a horrible argument.

Spot on. Listen, if we had a game that was totally realistic, there would be no fun in it. The game would move too slow for one, and people could only get a quarter of fun out of it. Yet, NCAA 09 shouldn't have the problems that it does with the "robo QB," the absent defense in the middle, and the high completion ratings.

Also, I play video games to have fun. But if I have games to where the score resembles a NBA game, there's no fun in that. It's not just that I want a more realistic game, it's just that this game should have some sort of defense.

I see what you're getting at, but I guess I cannot understand why people strive to perfectly recreate something from the real world in an obviously fantastic setting like a video game.

We strive for it because we pay for it. I'm not paying $60 for NCAA Blitz. Your argument makes little sense.
