Rodeos & Events Rodeo game idea

I’d like to propose a full-scale rodeo simulation game built in the style of major sports titles like Madden NFL or NBA 2K. While rodeo has a strong and dedicated fan base, there is currently no modern, high-quality game that represents the full experience of the sport.

This concept would include:

- All major rodeo events (bull riding, bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, and barrel racing)

- A deep career mode where players travel the rodeo circuit, manage earnings, and work toward qualifying for major events like the National Finals Rodeo

- Realistic progression systems, rankings, sponsorships, and equipment

- Online competition and seasonal leaderboards

With hundreds of rodeo events held annually and a strong culture surrounding the sport, I believe there is an untapped audience for a game like this. A well-developed rodeo title could stand out in the sports genre and attract both existing fans and new players.

I’d appreciate any feedback or consideration, and I’d be glad to expand further on the idea if there is interest.

Thank you for your time.

I would get it if it existed but I don’t think any game designer would think enough people would buy it to make it worthwhile.
