Curious to see what folks think which sports title has the best presentation. For me, going solely on the presentation, and commentary, it's gotta be 2k20. They have guest announcers like when I made a road trip to Boston, Bill Simmons was on there for about a half just talking X's and O's. Aside from the fact that the commentary adjusts based on how you're doy in your franchise/season. There are things it's lacking, buy presentation-wise, it blows FIFA 20, The Show 19, and Madden out of the water. Haven't had a chance to play the new NHL 20, but that's more a product of ppl I know telling me it's not as good as last year's (the gameplay)

So now I'm curious, what yearly released sports game do you find is done really well, and why....

I want to see the NFL do away with the exclusive license and give 2k Sports the opportunity to produce games again. They took EA Sports behind the wood shed year after year with not only the better presentation you speak of but also far superior gameplay too. It's a shame we can't have competition which would force both companies to produce the best game they can. It would only benefit the NFL also with more interest it would bring them.

This is how I’d rank them (speaking from strictly a franchise mode perspective).

1. FIFA
2. MLB The Show
3. Madden
4. NHL
5. NBA 2k

I'd agree with this, but any time I've played NBA2K, I've been impressed with the commentary. I don't own or play it often enough to put it in my list, but I agree with the order of your top 4.

2K, and it’s not close IMO.

I’ve played 2k, madden and the show (a couple years ago) and 2k definitely appears to put more effort into that part of their game. I don’t know how they do it with their audio files or setup but 2k’s commentary doesn’t sound like someone spliced a bunch of audio clips together...it sounds more like natural if that makes sense.

2k is the best in my opinion.....love the guest announcers. really enjoyed listening to kobe. mlb the show is up there as well as nhl 18 or 19. guess nhl did away with the nbc presentation in 20 for some reason. what gets me is that EA has the ESPN license but never uses it for presentation or the announcers. blows my mind. nfl 2k5 had incredible presentation and was ahead of it's time.
