Now that THAT is outta the way, football (whichever you choose) videogames and the real action of playing football is different but their should be no argument over either because the purpose of both are for completely different reasons. The reason most people like to play sport videogame themed games is because its convenient, it allows one to control somebody with a skill that they never could match, and lets admit it, it is much more tedious to schedule a game when everyone is free or not busy and they actually want to play. Its much easier to pop in a game and press start. Real football was created for the compeditiveness of people and the determination of its athletes. Also sports holds somewhat of a prestigiousness because of the reason that either not everyone has the ability to compete in it or the will. So people resort to videogames to feel that experience which you can never TRULY recreate but it does hold some value to have sport video games.
