&gt;there’s literally no reason to buy new sports games. 

&gt; I dont play sports games. 

&gt;I genuinely just thought people bought the new games just to keep playing them online due to sheep logic.

Well then your “unpopular opinion” is an opinion based on ignorance on the topic.  You literally said you don’t play them, so how can you formulate an opinion as to why people play/buy them?  You don’t know how they work, what they have, and what’s new with them. In other words, you don’t know of the things that may be the **exact** reason why people buy new sports games.
