I love to play Xbox, but when I play, I play 2k and madden. But what would a track game be like if there was one and would people play?

Not only that but it had a pad you ran and jumped on!
Nintendo also had a track and field game on the game cube
There is it is called Athens 2004 for PS2 and it is glorious
I played Athens 2004 a ton in college. Still do, to be honest.
The "Summer Athletics" series is very good too. It has a mode where you gain stat points after competitions and can improve stamina, speed, etc.
Rio 2016 is good. Most of the game is spent in the training phase along the way to Rio. You have to spend a lot of the game either hiding from testers or if you win your early races, you can pay them bribes, but that eliminates some of the money you can spend on drugs. Without drugs, you run as slow as a white American, so that's not good. The olympic selection race is incredibly difficult and you never know when it will be. Some times its Dubai, sometimes London, sometimes Boston, always random. You can turn the difficulty level down by immigrating to the US, but then you waste a lot of time in "college" instead of training.If you're having difficulty hiding from testers, you can opt to use a legal supplement, but sometimes the IAAF declares it illegal early in 2016 and you're screwed. The final level, Rio is so hard. You have to dodge mosquitoes to avoid Zika, as well as only drink bottled water and a crazy priest who attacks you on the course. To top it off, Rupp, Bekele (he always gets in because of a drug bust which happens to one of the top Ethiopians), and Korir are going to run 2:03 low. To get the max score, you've got to do a 10,000 double, but I've never beaten that because the shoddily built stadium usually collapses on top of my runner.
There was one. Here's a hint:

At the mall in Plattsburgh NY I had the record in LJ in about 1984 of over 29'. I went to same mall in like 1993 and still had #2 jump. Loved that game.

Post of week. Well done sir.
It's been done: https://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html
why not take an existing open source Kart game and modify it with a track and runner models
and various kinds of dope for powerups, and weapons like a spike or a random test, or your coach can get someone DQ'd after the race
There's "QWOP" which was pretty popular a couple years ago.

Are you like 15 or something? Did you never play it on NES?
What was the game where you were that one British heptathlete? The one who wasn't very good at the 800m? Some woman from like the late 90s. It probably is still free to play online somewhere.
I don't know how good the new one is, but the original "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games" on Wii was amazing.
OK going way back here but there was also the Atari Decathalon game as well - killed to play that one especially the 400 and 1500 events
Is anybody old enough to remember this one?
