If you’re already a gaming expert, keep on reading for the best PC sports games for 2019.

1. Rocket League

Rocket League truly changed the world of sports gaming. Since its release in 2015, the game has collected a passionate, dedicated fanbase.

In Rocket League, you get to choose from a number of sporty cars and use them to “kick” around a soccer ball on a playing field, and it is every bit as fun as it sounds.

The racing-soccer hybrid became so popular on Twitch, a video game streaming platform, that Psyonix introduced the Rocket League Championship in 2016.

The Championship’s 6th season had over two million viewers a prize pool of $500,000. 

And it keeps getting better. As of this year, Rocket League has enabled cross-platform play across PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.

2. Football Manager 2019

Football Manager 2019 is the perfect game for ultimate soccer fans.

Have you ever sat on the couch watching a soccer game and thought, “How could he miss that shot?!”

Well, here is your chance to take that shot yourself. Whether you make it or not will depend on your management skills combined with the skills of your hand-picked team.

You’ve got a say in every element, from training to team dynamics. Will you lead your team to victory?

3. Slapshot

Slapshot is a brand new multiplayer hockey game. Play online with five teammates, using your mouse and keyboard to control your player on the ice.

The game is physics-based, so the controls may take some getting used to. One Steam reviewer described it as “wonderfully infuriating.”

The best part? Slapshot is free to play, so giving it a “shot” is risk-free. And if you really like it, the full version is available for only ten dollars.

4. Tony Hawk’s Underground: Pro

The Tony Hawk skating games were extremely popular and well-received in their hey-day.

Or at least, most of them. When it comes to deciding on the last good Tony Hawk game, it depends on who you ask.

But the typical consensus is that the series saw a major decline in 2009. Fans have been desperate for a sequel reminiscent of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or Tony Hawk’s Underground ever since.

That’s where THUG comes in. Tony Hawk’s Underground: Pro is a fan-made total conversion mod of Tony Hawk’s Underground 2.

The mod incorporates elements from several of the previous games in the Tony Hawk series. It is continuously updated, and the developer has revealed long-term plans for the future of THUG.

5. NBA 2K19

The annual release of each game in the NBA 2K series is eagerly awaited every year.

2K19 did receive some criticism for in-game ads and a rough start in MyCareer mode. However, the game stays true to the series’ attention to detail.

The movement is fluid, the commentary is realistic, and the soundtrack features a wide variety of music.

6. Madden NFL ’19

Madden NFL is another tried and true game series. Madden NFL ’19 received favorable reviews, thanks to a few new updates.

“Real player motions” give a better on-the-field experience by allowing players to perform more authentic in-game actions, including touchdown celebrations.

This edition of Madden NFL is also special because of its release on PC for the first time since 2007.

7. FIFA ’19

This is another great game for soccer fans, and this one placing more emphasis on actual gameplay rather than team management.

FIFA ’19 includes plenty of new features, including 50/50 battles, timed finishing, and even a new animation system.

Additionally, fans of FIFA ’17 can play through the final chapter of The Journey, a single player campaign mode that follows the story of a player named Alex Hunter.

8. WWE 2K19

WWE 2K19 is a professional wrestling game, featuring some of WWE’s most famous and beloved wrestlers.

Showcase mode, the game’s story-driven campaign, stars one of these such famous wrestlers: Daniel Bryan.

Daniel Bryan has a long history with wrestling but was forced to retire early in 2014 due to injuries. Bryan’s return to WWE combined with two new Tower modes makes this a significant addition to the WWE series.

9. Pyre

Pyre is not your average sports game. This is a party-based RPG that has been described as “magic basketball.”

Pyre is a unique combination of sports and fantasy. On one hand, it is a story-rich adventure game with elements of a visual novel.

On the other, Pyre is undeniably a sports game. In order to escape “the Downside,” players must participate in rites, which consist of players on a court tossing crystal balls into each other’s pyres.

This strange combination has managed to charm most of its players, leaving the game with very positive reviews.

10. Out of the Park Baseball 19

Among all the FIFA, Madden, and NBA games, it might seem like baseball fans get left out.

This game allows players to go back and experience almost 150 years’ worth of baseball history. Play through historical seasons or rewrite history the way you think it should have gone.

Out of the Park Baseball 19 boasts of in-game AI improvement, an improved interface, and new achievements.
