Sports simulations have existed since the earliest days of electronic gaming. Due to the nature of the sports on which they are based, sports simulations are often intended to be played by multiple players competing against one another, though many single-player sports simulations also exist in which the player competes against computer-controlled opponents or the clock.īecause the field of sports simulation is so diverse, only a brief sketch of the genre’s history is offered here. These include team sports such as baseball, basketball, and football, as well as a wide variety of other sports such as tennis, track and field, hunting, racing, bowling, rowing, and many more.
A sports simulation is a video game modeled on a real-life sport.
