I've never been interesting in regular sports, so I've been thinking about ways to improve some of them. I know it's not realistic to hope someone does make changes like this, but we can only hope. After all, what do you think they said when someone suggested bringing a rifle when skiing?
Anyway, here's a few ways to improve things.
*
Miniature Bowling: Bowling has it's moments, but in the long run it's incredible boring. All you do is throw the ball forward, hit a few pins, repeat until bored. But why not go bowling on a miniature golf course? We need to built it bigger of course, but the basics are the same. Instead of ten rouns on an identical course, we go bowling through a windmill, over a small hill, between obstacles (check out bowling in Wii Sports for examples) and so on.
*
Two-team Tennis: Like regular tennis, but with two individual teams at once. One uses a blue ball, the other one a red ball. Let's say player A plays against player B with a blue ball, and player C plays against player D with a read ball. If player B hits the ball, it lands in front of player C, and player C knocks it into oblivion, it counts as if player A lost a point. If he instead just knocks it over the net like player A would, it counts as if player A did. Just imagine the chaos!
*
Ice Soccer: We all know soccer is boring, so why not play on ice? We have ice hockey on land and ski jumping in the summer time, so why not? It would certainly speed things up a bit.
*
Basket ball: Has it's moments, but why not make the baskets move randomly? To compensate, we have three or four on each side.
*
Double Martial Arts Figure Skating: Nice to look at, incredible boring in the long run and not very competitive other than watching the points afterwards. It would be funnier with two teams at once, beating each other senseless with martial arts weapons while dancing on the ice. Sounds brutal, yes, but not more than kickboxing, thai boxing and all that. Even regular boxing, in many ways. And they do have protection, after all.
Any other ideas?
