Best Sports or Racing Game – Winner: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
What Should Have Won: MLB The Show 19
Of all the awards that we here at Twinfinite were totally off-step with, it will be the Best Sports Game award that stands out.
Not only did MLB The Show 19 not win Best Sports Game, as it did for us, our people over at San Diego Studio didn’t even get a nomination!
Instead, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled won last night, which is… fine, it’s a great racer, but you can easily make the argument that it’s not even the best racing game this year, and it’s a remake of an older game, if that means anything to you when deciding which 2019 game is the best.
MLB The Show 19 is probably the best baseball game of this generation. Sure, San Diego Studio has no real competition other than themselves as far as America’s Pastime is concerned, but that might make it tougher to stay motivated.
Without competition, there’s no one to keep San Diego Studios sharp and on their toes. They have to outdo themselves each and every year.
And this year, towards the end of a console generation no less, they went all out and improved almost every area of MLB The Show 19 in a meaningful way.
That’s it for our picks for snubs. What games did you feel got overlooked this year? Let us know in the comments below.
