Newcomers will struggle to get started in Ride 5, but returning fans are in for a treat. Although the game doesn’t have much going for it outside of career mode, Ride 5 still produces a great hardcore racing experience.
Legend Bowl is a really fun game. The gameplay challenges the player to learn the mechanics and play to the strengths of their players. Any hardcore football fan will appreciate the atmosphere and attention to detail.
Super Mega Baseball 4 reminds us of the games we used to play growing up. The gameplay has the perfect balance between arcade and simulation. While we recommend SMB4 to any sports gaming fan, we think the younger generation will get the most out of it.
MLB The Show 23 hits a home run in some key areas and in others, not so much. However, while popular modes like Road to The Show are still being neglected, San Diego Studios still manages to improve enough to keep the experience fresh.

Server and technical issues, as well as minimal new features to modes like Road to the Show and Franchise, could make some feel like this game is MLB The Show 21.5.
