PC gaming is seen by many to be the elite way to play, with it offering greater graphics, a larger variety of games, and the opportunity to use the keyboard and mouse for better control options. Despite these advantages, one genre of games that had always seemed better suited to its console rivals though, have been the sports titles. One of the major reasons for this has been the fact that more players are on the consoles’ online servers, leading to more opportunities for playing matches against human opponents online.
