Sport and Video Games by Lukasz Muniowski (Paperback Book)
This book explores the complex relationships between sport and video games, two of the largest entertainment sectors globally. Focusing on those games that depict real-life sports and athletic competitions, from FIFA, Madden, and NBA 2K to Football Manager and Tony Hawks Pro Skater, the book examines how sport has influenced gaming, and vice versa, and how this relationship is likely to develop in the future. Arguing that sports games are a unique interface between virtual worlds and our real-life social worlds, the book examines the concept of simulation; how the performance of athletes and teams in the real world influences video games; and whether those close links enhance or limit the players experience. It also considers how video games are used by leagues and sports franchises,.
