Final Thoughts

The Athlete Career can be a rewarding, high-paying path once your Sim levels up especially in the Bodybuilder branch.
However, it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity; it would’ve been fun if EA had added dancing, cheerleading, or public performance elements.
Still, it’s a fun way to stay fit, earn loads of trophies, and rack up Simoleons!
