Quite honestly ever sports game gets a higher score than it deserves. I can't tell you how many game reviews I have read that gave demerits to a game for basically being the same as the last game, yet sports games in general have very little innovation year over year yet constantly receive high ratings. I simply don't understand why sports games get a bye on the innovation front simply because they have a 1 year release cycle. IMHO sports games should be in 6 to 7.5 range, with outstanding games such as MLB being 8.0 and no higher, simply because for the most part they are exactly the same as the prior year.
