Easy 2k16
I'd say NBA live wins presentation. They have ESPN so
No love for WWE 2k16 but you gave an honorable mention to Rocket League? C'mon my man, are you serious??? Also you gave the card collecting award to NBA 2k16 which I agree with but you neglected to mention the one thing that separates their version of the mode from the others….Creating uniforms and arenas for your teams.
I agree with the winners in every category except Card-Collecting. There's no way I'd award a mode that makes ridiculous Diamond players like J.R. Smith and Luis Scola. IMO – MyTeam is way worse than Ultimate Team.
NBA 2K16 really killed it though. I heard it being acknowledged by people who don't even play sports games about how good it is. As an Offline game, 2K16 is beautiful. People can complain all they want about it, but if they play it offline, they'll see how good it is.
Have you played NASCAR 2015?
"2015 was a great year for sports video game gameplay" Laughing so hard because of the horrendous piece of crap that EA dares to label NHL gameplay :D:D
I should have given WWE 2K16 some love in the area of customization.
Pretty sure the only mode mut doesn't have that my team does is gauntlet other than that mut has solo challenges like my team does and mut has a better system playing people online in head to head and they also have like wild card Super Bowl where as my team U just have to win a certain amount of games to move to next level. Plus mut has way better promos and cards than my team.
What about handball 16
happy you mentioned pes gameplay.
I purchased fifa 16 this year and I was done with it. I actually switched to pes and I regret it not one bit.
gameplay is just so much better, graphics is also one step ahead of fifa.
when it comes to licensing they are still behind fifa but hey, you can actually import jerseys and logos basically I got all the big leagues except for German Bundesliga.
overall you can say pes is on the rise and in a strong position again.
as a basketball fan I also play 2k a lot and it's clearly the best sports game, they destroyed their competition this year again.
too bad in Europe almost anybody plays fifa and pay no attention to 2k16 and see the depth of the game and what is actually possible.
lol you lost me on myteam lol it was actually funny you got them to win
Wow did you just say nhl has alot of face scans? You must not play alot of nhl16
wow yup nba 2k16 was better than most past games in the series, if it wasnt that good madden is definitely game of the year
2k has best customisation but their gameplay is utter trash this year.Even more retarded animations,Worse rebounding and defense animations..I guess they lack horribly in content because they think their game is flawless..Its certainly not.
Why are the packers and bears in the Super Bowl
wat about wwe 2k16 fp
Did you even consider wwe?
Are you sure you didn't play PingPong2016
MUT is way better than FUT and MyTeam in general. The thing that pushes MUT ahead in my opinion this year are the solo challenges! There's so much content there and there are rewards that make it actually worth playing. That and the customized promo's they do? Can't beat it in my humble opinion.
Don't know if it counts, but Rocket League is amazing.
so you played NASCAR 15 also
2k had to many flaws to get best game of the year
fut and mut have all the same modes as 2k with more content though
I agree with you on about everything. But you really really got it wrong on the card collecting mode madden and FIFA ultimate team are above and beyond better than my team they just don't even compare
Madden has things they can improve on.
Wow how is Handball 16 not game of the year??? Smh.
You overlooking Fifa for career franchise and player models
franchise aint no way myteam better than mut everyone in the myteam community even admits that mut is better than myteam
This is my ranking of the ones I played: 5. NHL 16, This one automatically gets a lower spot then the other ones, (along with the next on the list) because I don't know much about the sport, but as a play with your friends game I love it and it's a good game 4. FIFA 16, again, I don't know much about soccer/football but it's a really fun game and another one that is fun as couch head to head 3. Madden 16, I love this game, it's so fun and Draft Champions is the most addictive thing ever. I don't play MUT but I love to play career mode and connected franchise. 2. MLB 15 The Show, baseball is my favorite sport, and this game is just so awesome I love getting my RTTS character all the up from Double AA to the MLB, playing as the Cardinals, or playing as a bad team and building them up 1. Almost a completely flawless game, the attention to details, the presentation, it's just so great, I love MyCAREER with its cheesy yet amazing story, man, don't get me started on MyLEAGUE it's so awesome
MLB 15 The Show for me!
I agree with most of your selections , however MyTeam would be my favorite but they have ruined recently with role players having higher ratings than legendary player with moment cards . nhl 16 was worth mentioning in the gameplay category with recent updates I find that found a nice balance between fun and realism , the shows too nice tho !!
MyTeam still needs a lot of improvements as well as every MyPlayer mode
