The genre has been well represented by a variety of winners from NBA 2K (4), MLB The Show (3), FIFA (1), Madden (1), and NCAA Football (1). From 2018 it’ll be NBA 2K19 looking to win for the first time since 2015 up against a winner from further back in FIFA 19 and one nominated for the very first time with NHL 19.
