I like playing the E.A. sports college football series. I could care less about playing it online because I don't have any desire to practice on it or play it enough to where I would become good enough to beat alot of people online.

What I like about it is the dynasty mode. The dynasty mode is set up to where you can play up to 60+ seasons I believe and after each season your seniors will graduate and you will have to recruit highschool seniors to come to your school. So overtime your dynasty really gets formed as a result of the decisions you made and the games you won or lost (your teams decisions will have a carry-over affect on the decisions other teams will make in your dynasty). So over time after playing a number of seasons it really does become just like a role playing game (your dynasty gets formed based upon the decisions you made).

What I like about RPG's is basically the story that gets told within it (which is probably why I don't play them nearly as much as I used to because as the years go by the rpg stories don't seem grow up along with you) and I could really care less about the battles.

What I like about sports games is the dynasty mode (which basically can turn into your very own story over time). So basically I guess what I like about both genres is the story mode.

They need to make more games like Xenogears by the way.

And also though yes you could go outside and play sports games but could you play outside with the Florida State Seminoles, Oklahoma Sooners, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, or the Dallas Cowboys?
