Valve have updated the developer guidelines for releasing a game on Steam, making it clear that the scourge of mobile gaming advertising-based business models are not going to work on Steam.
If you want a shockingly good local multiplayer arcade volleyball game check out Super Volley Blast (seriously how is this game so good, it is just volleyball??)
it looks like the same indie devs have an arcade tennis local multiplayer game too calledSuper Tennis Blastbut I haven’t personally tried it yet like I have the rest of these games
Lastly, check out the airhockey meets top down action team based hero game Omega Strikers. This game isn’t pay-to-win and it really deserves a lot of love! Don’t pass it over just because it looks like it could be another live-service casino disguised as a game.
edit 2 - does Rock Of Ages count as a sports game? It certainly has lots of balls, a clear goal for those balls to go in and a set of sensible and logical rules to how those balls get there which leads to mythical stories about heroes, sounds like a sportball game to me so what if the sportball is made of living sheep
I can confidently tell you your impulse isn’t brash here, Mutant Football League is exactly what you think it is, has splitscreen and is fucking awesome.
I honestly don’t even give a shit about 'murican football, it doesn’t even matter (though make no mistake, this game has good arcade football gameplay, it isn’t “just a joke game”), Mutant Football League is a journey on a road paved with footballs but it is about the experience along the way not what type of sportsball the road was paved with that you walked your pilgrimage on.
Fuck ads based business, they are cancer. Deny the parasite engagement.
Still waiting on a good sports games not ruined by ea
sports vidya game gamers are the most cucked market segment within the gaming market…

This is just Blood Bowl, but in real time.
I am immediately sold on this.
