Competitive games—the real-world type, not the esports
type—have been a part of our culture since the dawn of humanity. They've served as entertainment, much-need distraction from the daily grind, and a spark for social change
. As technology's advanced, sports have expanded from playgrounds and stadiums to television and video games.
The PC may not be your first choice 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 (it does
have the FIFA, Madden NFL, and NBA 2K games, though). Still, there are many, highly entertaining sports-based PC games
, particularly if you don't care about realism or league licenses.
