I think, especially once sports games hit 3D, that sports games struggle to animate failure. And as games have begun to look better and better, the result has been an uncanny valley in that regard.

But even in the 2K days, I used to hear people complain about the DBs in 2K spinning in circles as they left guys uncovered. We want failure. We want lesser player to occasionally get the best of better players. But it never comes off as convincing.

Usually, the sim gamer just notes the results, realizes that it is within range and moves on. But today, that gamer doesn't seem to grasp this.
