Why do you think there's a lack of arcade sports games (NHL Hitz/NBA Street/NFL Blitz) nowadays? (beehaw.org)

My cynical take is that the rights to any video games for those franchises are owned by the likes of EA, who just like recycling the same game over and over, year to year, because it's cheap and easy and brings in a boatload of profit from Mtx. Developing a new arcade style sports game would cost money and not be the guaranteed cash cow of, say, Madden 23.

Yeah, this is probably (sadly) the correct answer.
