A hugely ambitious American football simulation that trades blockbuster presentation for remarkable freedom, delivering one of the genre's deepest franchise experiences while still leaving room for improvement on the field.

EA SPORTS FC 27 doesn't reinvent the beautiful game, but sharper gameplay, a deeper Career Mode and the ambitious new Grounds give this year's football season plenty of reasons to step back onto the pitch.

Pro Jank Footy takes Australian Rules Football, throws the rulebook in the bin and replaces it with more than 150 ridiculous powers. With hilarious commentary, couch co-op chaos, and matches that can descend from competitive footy into glorious madness, this is arcade sports at its most unpredictable and entertaining.

Madden NFL 27 gives the long-running football series a stronger sense of personality, both on and off the field. The new Persona Engine makes Franchise mode feel more reactive, while physical WR and DB battles, smarter defensive AI and deeper pre-snap control make every Sunday feel a little less predictable.

EA SPORTS FC 27 is shaping up to be far more than another annual update. With manual defending, a bold new social hub, smarter Career Mode systems and thoughtful Ultimate Team additions, EA appears ready to usher the series into a new era. There are still questions that only the full release can answer, but this is easily one of the most promising previews the franchise has delivered since leaving the FIFA name behind.

Unlike a traditional single-player adventure, EA SPORTS College Football 27 tells its stories through the moments you experience on the field and the decisions...

Madden NFL 27 feels like EA finally stopped trying to smooth over football’s chaos and instead started building systems that let it breathe. The new Persona Engine reshapes how teams behave across a season, turning Franchise mode into something closer to a living league than a structured menu. On the field, defensive play becomes sharper, more reactive, and far less predictable than previous entries. It is not a clean reinvention, but it is the closest Madden has come in years to feeling genuinely strategic rather than reactive.

College Football 27 feels like EA finally stopped treating the collegiate game as nostalgia and started treating it as a living system. This year’s entry leans into structure, pressure, and identity, building something that feels closer to running a real program than simply playing a season. The result is a football experience that is deeper, heavier, and more demanding than its predecessors. It occasionally threatens to overwhelm, but when it clicks, it captures the chaos and pride of college football better than anything the series has delivered so far.

CleanSheet Football 2 does something surprisingly rare in sports gaming. It makes you appreciate a position most football fans spend ninety minutes criticising. Every fingertip save, every desperate dive, and every split-second reaction transforms goalkeeping from a thankless role into an exhilarating showcase of skill, instinct, and endurance.

Rugby League 26 arrives carrying the weight of expectation after nearly a decade away from the spotlight. It doesn't always stick the landing, but beneath the rough edges lies the most ambitious rugby league game ever made, one that captures the passion, physicality, and complexity of the sport better than any of its predecessors.
