In this article, Conway talks about how in sports video games they can be made to deal as though you’re in the actual game and\/or playing as a famous athlete over a multitude of games. He covers how a particular character in a game that represents a real life player of that sport, has been made to mirror that of the real life athlete in not only appearance, but also in the ways in which they interact in the gaming world. He also talks about how a player of the video game must already know the actual rules of the sport of the game they are playing, or they will quickly begin to learn the real life rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
