Sports Gaming Post-E3 Power Rankings
NHL 16 The post-E3 world is always a fun time where we know more about our favorite sports games, but not quite everything. And while exciting, there's always a lot of anticipation waiting on the next shoe to drop when it comes to info. And let's face it, some games simply don't show up to E3 -- I'm looking at you 2K Sports games. But with that said, if you are a sports gamer and you somehow don't have a favorite sport -- and if you want to simply know which games you should be most excited about buying heading into the Fall, here is the list of the major AAA sports games which are simply looking the best coming out of E3:
Update: Put PES 2016 into the rankings. That was a complete slip of the mind! |
Joe Montana Football. Oh never mind!

No PES 2016?

I wa thinking the same.. no love for PES? Especially with the PS4 changes and the ability to do option files again, FIFA has a real contender. Especially with the latest news to make goalies have different styles to go with individual player styles.

Nice article; however, PES is missing, which had a great showing, and the always online thing ruined Need for Speed for me and I don't believe I'm alone on that one.

FIFA 16 gameplay improvements: defensive agility, new tackling mechanics, interception intelligence, no touch dribbling, precision ground passing, clinical finishing, and dynamic crossing.
NHL 16 gameplay improvements: puck pick-ups, precision skating. This is the problem with the NHL series. They're so lazy. I'm not counting EASHL as a new feature because it's not new. I'm only comparing gameplay features because ultimately that's what makes the game great. Seriously, we only get two new gameplay features this year? I'm a bigger hockey fan than soccer, but the FIFA series blows NHL out of the water. FIFA 16 still haven't even released their new features for career mode, BAP, and online play yet. Sure, you can blame it on the money I guess since FIFA is worldwide and NHL is largely only North American... But there is a lack of effort into whoever is making the decisions on the NHL series. |
NHL 16 is number one. After the disaster that was 15, this game has shown the most improvement and is looking to be the sports game of the year. I would say Madden is number two (not the popular answer here) but this year they added a number of features that the community has been asking for a long time and this could be one of the best playing Madden's in years.

NHL 16... Impressed with the gameplay? They didn't show any real gameplay at all. New features? Old features brought back are not "New" When does EA's NHL license expire? When that day comes then there may be hope for a competent hockey game.
