2023 was a great year in gaming, so many highly acclaimed games from Life of P to Baldur's Gate 3 to High-Fi Rush, and we should have a great 2024 in store for us as well. But when most think of great games why do sports games rarely, it ever get mentioned? Do gaming reviewers not take the time out to understand these games or do they just play for a day's worth of time all the while never being the type of gamer that the game companies are attempting to appeal towards? The Game Awards came & went on December 7th 2023 and not one time did we see a trailer for an upcoming release like many other genres. Are sports gamers not respected as "gamers" or is the niche not presenting itself in a way to appeal to the more casual, less jock knowledgeable player?

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
