!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

You mean like Mutant Football League 1 and 2??

If you want a local multiplayer arcade basketball game check out Dunk Lords

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 called Super Tennis Blast but I haven't personally tried it yet like I have the rest of these games

If you are willing to stretch your definition of "sport" here a bit check out the local multiplayer handball brawler Hyper Brawl

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 silly me I forget to recommend the absolutely phenomenal Lethal League Blaze

https://store.steampowered.com/app/553310/Lethal_League_Blaze

fuck you EA

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

This is just Blood Bowl, but in real time.

I am immediately sold on this.

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.
