The aim of any modern sports simulation is to do exactly what it states. To simulate the sport it represents as accurately as possible. This means we expect to have our digital pros behave just as their real life counterparts.
Being able to control all the nuances of movements from a control pad is almost an art form in itself. Die hard fans are able to learn a myriad of button combinations to carry out these moves but it can leave casual gamers somewhat bewildered. Games like FIFA are pretty good at giving both types of player the opportunity to play the game although some of the special moves can be hard to pull off.
It's great to have total control over every deke & shimmy but for the more casual gamer I think a more simplified style of execution should be included. Lets say having a single button control a special move, with that special move being dictated by what's happening on screen at the time.
As for my verdict on the most intuitive I'd probably say FIFA & NBA 2K. The worst game to play for me is Rugby League Live. An horrendous number of button combinations to do the simplest of moves.
