Yet, somehow over the years, it was decided that EA would no longer bring the new Madden games to PC.

The obvious series here is Madden - a name fairly synonymous with "football games." And as mentioned above, a series that actually has its roots in PC gaming rather than consoles. And while I've become a much bigger fan in recent years, and learned to really enjoy football games, I've been bummed to see a total disregard for PC gamers in the past few years. I'm also pleased to see that 2K Sports has also already announced that the PC version of 2K15 will be released the same day as its console counterparts.įootball is another story, however. Though I've heard complaints that the PC port of 2K14 is based on "last gen" versions, I've had nothing to complain about it visually, audibly or any other way. And luckily 2K Games has been so kind as to continue bringing the recent installments to PC.Ĭurrently my go-to is NBA 2K14 which has an excellent single-player campaign revolving around the career of Lebron James. I really don't think they've had any strong competition since the first game came out on Dreamcast. Personally, I love the 2K series of basketball games. So let's take a look where sports games stand today for the PC gamer, at least as far as my own taste and experience is concerned.īasketball is one of my favorite sports, and lucky for me it's also one of the few sports still getting high profile releases on PC. With all this in mind, it's pretty surprising to see the relative lack of sports games in hi-res that we can show off on our fancy GPU's. And while I can't speak for anyone else, I know that my early computing years were filled with many a DOS simulation of a real world sport. Heck, the first Madden installment didn't even have a console release. It's odd though, don't you think? Sports games were certainly staples of computer systems for as far back as I can remember. Each iteration of each individual series is being released annually so that the supply is so ridiculously high that eBay sellers of console lots need warn prospective buyers NO SPORTS GAMES!!!!" And yet PC gamers - the so-called "master race" seem to be struggling to find recent installments at all in some cases. Question: what the heck is going on with sports games? I mean, if you're a console gamer, then they're considered over-abundant to the point of being cast off as nearly disposable.
