Gameplay loop is a nice way of saying this game is mindlessly repetitive and more of a fidget spinner than actual fun

What's a game that doesn't fall into that category?

I interpret the term as the progression structure, which is a combination of the level structure (story progression, levels vs. exploring) and upgrade/level-up structure.

It's just like saying story arc. Do you only watch movies that don't have a three act structure?

Sports game simulations are like Madden, FIFA, and 2k

it differentiates from Blitz, NFL Street, FIFA Street, etc etc.

By just describing the game?

This is a completely unnecessary concept. No need to completely reduce a game to 1's and 0's when talking about it.

Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol. CE is edgy/contrarian as f*** and will do anything to troll the TC/OP. -Touch

One person can't just change terms. If that was possible, I would have changed a lot of terms myself, personally.

"Gameplay loop" refers to the central gameplay conceit of the game, it's not just talking about the game as a whole.
