I agree with your post.

I noted one important thing about your examples: ALL of them are individual sports--not a single one is a team sport. (Gymnastics is a made up team sport that's really individuals.) I think the problem is that these sports really don't have any interaction with other individuals in a direct way. That may be why this year's game isn't really ringing true.
