Not to mention they spent a lot on licensing the official names for weapons and gear which is just sad lol
I'm definitely not the intended audience for 99% of sports games for a similar reason: I have no interest in up to date sports statistics or player rosters or team franchises. I'd enjoy sports games more if they did more weird stuff, like Basewars or Mutant League Football.
I remember being blown away by a college football game I played, I think on the original XBox, when I gave my team a unique name and they actually had a voice line for that particular name. Imagine the wild stuff you could do with procedural generation, deepfake voice lines, an AI art program making player faces, etc if you wanted to have an in-depth sports sim that really focused on creating a team instead of just playing as an already existing one.

imagine playing a soccer game where players aren't called Bobson Dugnut or Hans Schmeichel
@Bobson_Dugnutt

I like the old weird ones where you could name your own players and teams.
We need Oh That's A Baseball from Jojo in real life
