Which Sports Game 'won' the show for you?
Christian McLeod: Madden 12 ran away with my sports game of the show honors based mainly on how big of a leap it is from last year's game. The art style and presentation of the game makes you feel like you are immersed in an NFL broadcast, and the gameplay just feels spot on. I said in my
preview that this is going to be a huge year for
Madden, and it's nice to finally see the series on the right track.
TD St. Matthew-Daniel: Hands down
FIFA 12. In the short time I got to spend with the game, it's clear this game can be this year's
NBA 2K11. Any time you can vastly improve control in a sport where ball control is optimal, then there's real potential for greatness at the foundation of the game. EA Sports Football Club also sounds like a feature that could increase the longevity of this year's game much more.
Chase Becotte: I want to say
MLB Bobblehead Pros to be edgy, but I will go with
WWE '12 instead. I just kept sneaking back to this game at E3 to make more peasants tap out with Alberto Del Rio. Coming off a strong effort with
WWE All-Stars and the fact that I was so unimpressed with
Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 certainly clouds my judgment a bit, but this game still is making all the right moves this year. From the gameplay to the visuals to the steps taken to make the game look more like a TV broadcast,
WWE '12 is finally accepting that it is a sports game and a wrestling game -- not a fighting game.
