If you ask anyone the most famous football game, then it would come as a shock if they did not say FIFA. EA Sports produce the series and have done since 1993, and the fanbase continues to grow around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FIFA22?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FIFA22<\/a>, Powered by Football<br><br>With new HyperMotion Technology, welcome to a revolution in<br>football gameplay. \ud83c\udfae\u26bd<br><br>Learn more and pre-order today \u27a1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SotAORTXCO\">https:\/\/t.co\/SotAORTXCO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IgRYzvvpqG\">pic.twitter.com\/IgRYzvvpqG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EASPORTSFC\/status\/1414245668818915333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports have now produced 28 games, and the FIFA games will go down in history, with so many features now packed into each title. &#8220;Be a Pro&#8221; mode revolutionised the game in 2010, while online modes have enhanced the experience for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro Evolution Soccer was a real hit in the early 2000s, but FIFA continues to reign as the greatest football game of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madden Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports dominate the world of football gaming, and they also have the bragging rights for American Football titles too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madden started way back in 1988, and the difference in graphics quality is jaw-droppingly good. American Football is the most popular sport in the USA, so EA Sports have nailed it with their target audience. The games have become a little samey in recent years, but there has been no long-term competitor during the last 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is Madden like you\u2019ve never seen it&#8230;<br>It\u2019s a whole new vibe with ALL-NEW Dynamic Gameday<br><br>Pre-Order Now: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/crmTeY1hzH\">https:\/\/t.co\/crmTeY1hzH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Madden22?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Madden22<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jB15VcSfLK\">pic.twitter.com\/jB15VcSfLK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Madden NFL 25 (@EAMaddenNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EAMaddenNFL\/status\/1405525662769717253?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 17, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users can control their own player and team, while they can also feel what it&#8217;s like to become an owner, with gamers able to set concession prices and build a stadium for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PGA Tour Golf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it isn&#8217;t obvious by now, then EA Sports rule the roost when it comes to sports gaming. Their PGA Tour golf series has yet to be beaten by another golf title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1998, they launched their first title with Tiger Wood as their cover star. PGA Tour brought in over $770million between 1999 and 2013 before Woods was replaced by Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users can control every shot, play against some of the best players in the world and also tackle the most picturesque courses around the globe; what&#8217;s not to like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wii Sports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some may find this controversial, but Nintendo&#8217;s Wii Sports gets a place in our top five due to the fun factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the graphics are not as good as rival consoles, but all the family can have fun across a variety of different sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, we say fun, but it&#8217;s also incredibly frustrating to lose to someone much younger than you at tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, rather than lounge around, Wii Sports got users up and moving, and it&#8217;s certainly a series that will be remembered forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA 2K Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA Sports do have some serious competition when it comes to their basketball games, with 2K Sports hugely successful in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gamers have been able to test their skills on the court since 1999, and NBA 2K games seem to have a little more attention to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NBA 2K11 is widely regarded as the best basketball game of all time, while the 2021 title allows users to control and manage a created player&#8217;s career right through from college to the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>*All odds correct at time of writing.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like all technology, gaming consoles have continued to adapt over the last 20 years and the days of Nintendo NES and Sega MegaDrive are a thing of the past.
