When it comes to the sport genre games, there is a lot to choose from. Depending on what type of sport you are interested in there are some great titles that are still very fun to play. The sports gaming industry is a bit weird. For instance, new games might have improved visuals but some of the old titles are still more fun to play due to better mechanics and in-game feel.
In today’s article, we highlighted a selection of sports games that you should definitely try on your Xbox one.
FIFA 19
Since soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, the game is no different. FIFA delivers an authentic soccer experience with multiple fun-to-play modes and on top of that, the game features very realistic physics.
Even though we are talking about a game that almost two years old, FIFA 19 still feels better to play than its successors. That’s why it was one of the best games for Xbox in 2019 and it still is in 2021.
They somehow managed to achieve incredible physics by including features that help you keep a better eye on the space, improved passes, and the new addition of Champions League teams.
Madden NFL 19
Madden is a very popular game in the sports genre and in their 19th version, it seems like it is the cherry on top. Madden NFL 19 went through a lot of changes and upgrades over its predecessor from play modes to new characters and much more.
The best thing about Madden NFL 19 is the Real Player Motion that brings out the realness
of the sport. On top of that, the new and improved graphics might seem outdated up to today’s standards, but they still provide
decent enough visuals.
NBA 2K19
It seems like 2019 was the best year when it comes to sports games, and the situation is no different with the 2K19. This game will allow you to live out your Basketball dream with incredibly realistic physics and AI. The fluid mechanics and fun modes make the NBA 2K19 still a good sports game.
The game offers tons of content that can be played for years to come. One of the biggest changes that they’ve made on this version of the game is the difficulty. The game feels more realistic which means that you need to pay attention to the player rotation, budget, training, and tactics in order to win.
They also added all kinds of new skills and some much-wanted updates to the defensive play as well. In other words, 2K19 will enable you to get a glimpse of what it feels like to compete with some of the best players in the NBA.

UFC 3
UFC is the sport with the most expediential rise in popularity over the last couple of years, and fans love that EA decided to make an incredibly realistic game that allows you to get in the Octagon. This is not the first game in the franchise, but it is definitely one of the biggest leaps towards realistic gameplay.
UFC brings bone-breaking actions with different modes including a campaign mode that will take you on a journey from a rookie to a superstar and It can be played offline. The game isn’t only focused on fighting. In order to become the best, you need to spend many hours training just to increase your abilities and increase your damage per hit.
On top of that, UFC 3 allows you to fully experience all the things that come with one fight such as promoting your fight and building a fan base.
The online fight is even more fun and brutal. The best thing about online multiplayer is the great matchmaking system that will only put you in fights with people that have a similar skill level as you.
Even though there is a new UFC 4 game, you can still enjoy the previous version that is much cheaper but still very fun to play.
