Sports cool games

The MacWorld talks about the sports cool games that used to be launched.

Where are all the sports games? the editor asks:

Looking at the shelves of a console game store, a Mac gamer is immediately
struck by one huge difference from their own platform: There are a lot of sports
games available for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and the like. So why aren’t there
more on the Mac?

And the fact is that the cool sports games are really, really expensive to license, especially if they’re team sports that feature well-known playing fields, teams, and athletes.
Here some more about the missing sports cool games for Mac users:
Mac gaming is a niche market—a blockbuster game is lucky to sell 50,000
copies on the Mac platform, compared to millions of copies on the console. That
gives Mac game publishers a much smaller pool of customers to work with, so they
have to pick and choose their licenses carefully.
