Competitive games—the real-world type, not the esports type—have been with humankind nearly since the beginning. They’ve served as entertainment, a much-need distraction from the daily grind, and a spark for social change. As technology advanced, sports have expanded from playgrounds and stadiums to television and video games. The PC may not be the first place to go when you’re in the mood to play a sports game. After all, the platform lacks the popular MLB The Show titles and NHL games of any sort. The platform does have the FIFA, Madden NFL, and NBA 2K games, but we haven’t included their latest versions here because they’re either buggy or ho-hum affairs. Still, there are plenty of quality sports-based PC games, particularly if you don’t care about realism or league licenses. These are our favorites.
What makes a good sports game?
We’ll be completely honest with you: We don’t play sports games as a rule. While we don’t mind a challenge, we prefer games that are easy enough that anyone can pick up the controls, require little skill, and offer a ton of content. Here are just a few of the best sports games available in 2022. 1. NBA 2K19 This is the latest entry in the ever-expanding NBA 2K franchise. Best of all, it comes with the official NBA 2K 19 app, which makes all the major updates and updates the most important thing you can do. In this game, you play as Dwyane Wade, and you’ll find yourself tapping into all the Sixers and Dwyane Wade news of the day. This is a fun, easy-to-navigate sports game with lots of fun characters and fun modes. NBA 2K19 also includes plenty of NBA 3D™ content, making it the perfect game for both CoD and Halo fans.
How to play a sports game in 2022
To get started, head to your local video store and pick up a copy of NBA 2K19. Then, download any games you want to play on the App Store, including sports games like rose, golf, and soccer.

The future of esports
With so much going on in the world, it’s easy to forget that there’s a big difference between professional sports and competitive gaming. And that’s exactly what this article is about: the future of esports. In 2022, competitive gaming will likely be replaced by the growing popularity of games like NCAA Football, MLB The Show, and NBA 2K. Additionally, the popularity of competitive sports will grow as more people start to consider themselves sports fans. This will give these games a much-needed boost in the ratings, which will allow them to be released on a large scale. These games will continue to grow in popularity, and eventually, one day there may be a wide-ranging esports competition. This may lead to teams competing for the title of “World Sport” — a term that has been applied to only a few countries, but that many people care about.
Conclusion
As we enter the new year, let’s make sure we’re well-versed in the latest esports trends and games to try. You can also look forward to some fresh challenges and new games as we look to make the most of this new year.
