Sports played only in the commonwealth always seem to have below par games.

The old Catch 22: developers think there isn't a big enough market and therefore don't use big budgets - not as many consumers by the games because they aren't well developed and aren't worth the cash.

The "American sports" like NHL, NBA and NFL have equally small markets but have enjoyed years of success because the games are developed with big budgets and aim to capture everything about the sport.
