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.
I agree with your logic. The slow death of sport games is because we usually get glorify patches and add ons vs a new product.
