A big, general, genre for all sports games. Sports games are an interesting genre - they don't play the same at all. Even in their specific sub genres - Madden 2005 will not play anything like MLB 2K5. In other genres, this would not hold true. You'll find things in common in racing or fighting; Mario Kart and Gran Turismo share some gameplay elements, and Street Fighter and King of Fighters share much more.
But Sports games all play very differently. The only thing they all have in common is that they depict a sport being played. Gameplay, graphics, controls, will be different depending on the game. There are many different sub-genres in sports: Extreme sport (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2), Simulation sport (NHL 2005), Arcade sport (Mario Tennis) and Statistical sport (Baseball Mogul).
