What would it take for a sports game to be rated harsher than “E”? I’d love to see that game.

I’d imagine any of the “Mutant League” games for Sega Genesis wouldn’t be rated E. Man, those were a blast.

I believe NFL Blitz has a T rating as well. So, logically, NFL Blitz 2000 and NFL Blitz 2K3 would as well, as well as NHL Hitz.

Sorry, no. All “E” ratings according to Gamespot.

I always laugh when I see how the NHL hockey games (not even the Hitz series) have “violence” as a ratings indicator.
