Tour de France 2021 remains a quite good game (accessibility, immersion, strategic options), but Cyanide risks losing credibility with its loyal fans. A graphic step is neede and the developer has to be more generous in novelties so as not to become an anonymous rider in the middle of the peloton.

Pro Cycling Manager 2021 is very difficult pass to cross : in one hand, the game lacks novelty and many bugs remain. On another hand, it makes the most of its strong foundations, but in any case, anyone should wait for a few patches to get back in the saddle.

Now available on Xbox, MLB The Show is still a fantastic way to discover and play baseball. This entry is still a very immersive experience, with a lot of things to do. And crossplatform is a great feature.

Tour de France 2020 is a solid sim and a fun and very well built game that will please cycling fans, thanks to the new firt person view, very immersive, that is the main novelty of this iteration.

While the country is going through an exceptional health crisis, MLB fans will not see their habits upset by the arrival of this new iteration, almost similar to the previous one. The graphic rendering is a bit more realistic, the sensations still just crazy but with more content.

5 / 10 - Rugby 20
Jan 27, 2020

Rugby 20 promised great technical improvements, the addition of new tactical options and a good batch of official licenses. A game plan respected by Eko Software whose limited means do not allow this title to compete with the best sports simulations. But given that he remains the ONLY one to fight on the field, and that he stands rather well on his legs with his farandole of diagrams and his accessible gameplay, he could satisfy lovers of the oval ball. On the condition of not being too greedy on the technical level.

8 / 10 - NHL 20
Sep 16, 2019

As usual, EA Sports tries mostly to upgrade the previous edition instead of trying to revolutionize. NHL 20 has some strong new animations, a new visual identity, game modes that feel better than ever and the whole feels smoother. It's solid but lacks some unforgettable feature to be a true star.

Madden NFL 20 has reached an additional milestone thanks to the addition of significant new features. It remains the best American football experience

Tour de France : Saison 2019 is probably the best in the series but it still lacks some experience and ambitions to become a fantastic champion, as it is a bit disappointing technically and in termes of A.I. and novelty. Maybe next year ?

A little more attractive to newcomers, MLB The Show 19 is an immersive simulation that shines with a dazzling atmosphere, a great gameplay ans some good content. But if you have been playing the former iteration ,you'll probably think it's more of the same.

6 / 10 - Pumped BMX +
Feb 19, 2019

Simple, basic and addictive, Pumped BMX Pro is a good alternative to the Trial's licence. Despite of being not easy to pick up, the game remains fun.

If Spike Volleyball is not a very realistic simulation of volleyball, we can not say that the bet is completely missed. A game that could please the true fans of this sport...

Sports Interactive went further into realism by implementing novelties in particular in the training and the matches with the appearance of VAR for example. In the end, FM 2019 is the perfect representation of German football, which it obtained the licence: efficient, solid, and never disappointing.

7 / 10 - NBA Live 19
Sep 21, 2018

NBA Live 19 is slowly closing the gap with NBA 2K19 the giant. The game chose a more spectacular path, more fun to wheedle basket ball fans and it's pretty successful.

8 / 10 - Madden NFL 19
Sep 5, 2018

Madden NFL 19 is the best Football game on the market. EA Sports added technical and realistic details taking the game one step further.

Even if it can feel like an update of the previous edition with very few new things, Pro Cycling Manager 2018 brings more smoothness to the entire gameplay and some efficient new features that can easily let us be absorbed in its ProCyclist Mode. [Olivier Cortinovis separately reviewed the PC (8) and PS4/XB1 (6) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]

With less content and some missing features, Football Manager Touch 2018 on Switch is still an excellent game and an excellent way to discover the licence.

This 2018 episode is still an excellent baseball game, but it doesn't change al lot compared to last year's edition... MLB The Show series would definitely need a serious competitor to surpass itself.

Football Manager 2018 does not revolutionize the series. It is still relying on the facts of its success and refine them with new tools. You never change a winning team as a manager would say. You just need to train it again and again to make it better.
