I'm hard pressed to name a single one. Survival trips and maybe mountain climbing? The sports I know are all about players competing with each other (either alone or as team), rather than achieving a set, independent goal (together).

The times I have played sports games in the past 15 years (since my brother moved out of country), I have exclusively played vs PC, and the stats were still there.

Further, there is PvP in this game, and it is not exclusively a PvE game (though I don't dabble in PvP here either).

While not a solution to the parser problem (in my opinion), I do think this could be a fun game mode.
