Best Sports Games For PC
A Sports Game is most often a simulation of a real sport like football, basketball, baseball or racing sports like formula one, WTCC, WRC, Nascar etc. In sports games you as a player take control over a team in team sports or over an athlete in individual sports. The objective of all sports games is simple: beat all your opponents.
That mean if you are playing a team sports game like FIFA Soccer, you need to beat the opposite team or be the best in the league or tournament and if you you play an individual sports game you need to beat all other athletes that compete with you.
I think that this genre isn't so attractive as the Action Game genre but still if it is the Best Sports Game for PC then it can be really awesome playing it and I personally really like games with a lot of competition and sports spirit because I am an athlete to.
Best Sports games for PC are also awesome because if you are a supporter of an team you can compete to other teams like in real life. For example: If you are a Manchester United fan you can play a game against Liverpool or Chelsea. Or if you like LA Lakers you can play a game against any other team in the NBA.

About Best Sports Games For PC
Best Sports games for PC are simulations of the real life sports like soccer, basketball, formula one, baseball, Olympic games, etc. This type of games require some sport knowledge and position awareness so that players can successfully play and win matches,races, etc.
The first ever Sports game was played in 1958 on an oscilloscope and was called Tennis for Two. Then in late 1960s some electromechanical Sports games were developed (Crown Soccer Special, Grand Prix, Speedway). Between 1970s and 1990s a lot of sports games were introduced to gamers because in that time Sports game genre was one of the most popular. In 1990s the 16 bit era started and with that also the development of 3D graphics. in 2000s a lot of good Sports games like FIFA, NHL, NFL, NBA were developed but the big breakthrough was made in last few year with awesome graphics, simulations, mechanics and lots more.
Because of that I can't wait for more Sports games to be released because any one of them could be The Best Sports Games for PC.

My opinion:
PES 2015 is on first look quite similar to FIFA but when trying both games you can feel the difference. Both games have their own advantages. PES 2015 most awesome thing is the fully licensed UEFA Champion League competition with all team participating in 2014/15 season. Control over players and ball is simply great also the new defending system. There are a lot of new tricks but are very difficult to manage them. Maybe I am a little disappointed over this game because it isn't fully licensed but still it is one of the Best Sports Games for PC !
