The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360’s final ‘big’ year in sports gaming might have actually been 2012. This year, it seemed most developers were content with relatively modest improvements to the existing lineup of games on current generation consoles.

At the end of the day, there were three games which really captured our attention and received serious consideration for the current-generation Sports Game of the Year: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, NCAA Football 14 and MLB 13 The Show.

Finally some well deserved recognition for what has been one of the best sports games in recent years.

I agree totally. Glad that Tiger Woods 14 got a deserved mention.

It just had to be...
All you had to do was look at the forum. Very few people had a complaint.
And there was several threads of grown men just telling other grown men how much they loved The Show and what it meant to them.
That means a lot.
I will go on record as saying that no other video game makes quite the emotional impact as The Show.
A lot of us had given up on Baseball, something we cherished growing up. And The Show has brought us back. It's like falling in love with your high school sweetheart all over again.
It's Love.
And that's a hard thing to beat.
We Love you SECA

Agreed. Not even a big fan of baseball (and conversely, I'm a HUGE fan of basketball), but I can honestly say that The Show has consistently been the best sport series hands down this past gen. Even though it's not without its flaws, The Show comes closer to capturing the essence of its sport than any other sports game on the market.

wow 2k14 current gen got basically none of the votes. Times are changing for the 2k studio. To much hype, not enough substance

I voted for NCAA 14 because I've had a lot of fun with it and I'm sad to see the series go. It went out on top, superior to Madden imo. However, The Show could win Game of the Year every year. Sony San Diego just does a wonderful job and I'm really excited to see what they can do with the PS4.
