Bill Laimbeer's Combat BasketballI remember renting Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball for my Nintendo in 1991. So when Quasar debuted shortly thereafter, I pictured that's what Garvit Ball was.

Indeed.
In fact I picture Gravity Ball to be a lot like Mutant Football except with anti gravity boots.

Okay, so my OCD finally kicked in on this and I had to check the Official booklet (2093) for this:
There really is not a description of what the sport actually is, oh my!
I always pictured it more like TRIAD from the original Battlestar Galactica, because it's an AGILE sport or else Quasar would have a better Power Rating instead of a better Agility Rating.
Not familiar with Galactica's Triad? Here --

Yea there have been a few games portrayed in sci fi like this and I kind of pictured it like that. More like basketball than football.

I always thought of it as what the NFL evolved into in the future. Same, considering Quasar was loosely inspired by Bo Jackson and Overtime was originally inspired by Terrell Owens. But I love reading all the theories about what the league evolved into. I never knew Quasar was based on Bo Jackson.

I never knew Quasar was based on Bo Jackson. Yup. The whole two-sport star thing. Tom talks about it in one of the GWF Files if I remember correctly.

These are all great responses but I think we're overlooking the most obvious...Dwayne Johnson's XFL Re-reboot! We're just not allowed to use those three letters of course.

I thought it was some kind of future sport with Quasar, especially since his finisher, was supposed to be a move straight out of Gravity Ball. However Once I seen Overtime, I knew it was future football.
I used to love me some Mutant League Football

However Once I seen Overtime, I knew it was future football. I used to love me some Mutant League Football Original MLF or the reboot? The reboot is cool since they use mock names of real players and update the players every year via internet.
