yeah, good point... Theyve never managed to get the real world dynamics quite right in the skating games but probably erred on the side of fun and they ahve always delivered in that regard.
Of course, truly replicating how a person moves, stops and allowing for gravity and how it effects a body might all be prgrammable but maybe they thought against as it actually made the game unplayable!?
Certainly, the next gen games are taking things to a slightly higher level in the sports games.
Tiger Woods has a much better swing action.
Tony Hawks skating is excellent with the tilt control controling feet on jumps and apparently the next basketball game has a much better pakyer control dynamic with 360 degree movement reather than than awkward 8 point moving thing where the player moves along the diagonal!
all in all, uts a pretty positive outlook.
