Also, I argued for this in WCTP and I'll argue for it here. There should be a Sports Game of the Year category.
Sports games only qualify for a measly 5 categories listed: GotY, where none of them stand a chance, considering the year of gaming we've had; competitive multiplayer, which is really their only shot; soundtrack, which has nothing to do with the games themselves; and most surprising and disappointing, which won't happen, either. If people are fans of the series already, they're not going to be surprised or disappointed by them unless they really stepped up their game, or they truly ****ed up. I can't think of any sports titles that really fit either of those categories.
