What makes a game fun for you?
-
My library is significantly smaller than it used to be. I played every Madden, NHL, MLB, and NBA every so often. Was always an offline guy but could never really dial home the actual realism and stats that I really wanted so I switched to online and that became mind numbing arcade style. I quit everything but MLB because I can sort of find a decent mix, plus its my favorite sport.
Only other thing I play are some RPG, primarily Final Fantasy series.
Was a big Call of Duty guy, but that has gone straight garbage.
I feel like there are no great games anymore just companies churning out anything that sticks. -
for this game it's simple. I love baseball. I don;t really get into the multiplayer modes. I love franchise, stadium creator, miniseasons and many of the programs, conquest was great this year. It's my first year really doing diamond dynasty.

Very different things. Games I am currently playing
- MLB The Show - I enjoy baseball and it is the only sport I even remotely follow
- Strange Antiquities - A deduction puzzle game (I enjoyed the Dev's first game Strange Horticulture). I get more of a sense of accomplishment out of a good puzzle game.
- Borderlands 4 - For mindless shooting and loot gathering.
- Roadcraft - Kind of on pause for Borderlands but this is my "chill" game.
- Puzzling Places - The ultimate chill experience - Put on some calming music, put on the VR headset and spend a few hours putting together a 200 piece 3d puzzle

Mario Kart is the best. I don’t play it a ton since I got my Xbox but used to play it all the time after the show -

Sorry about your collarbone. Hope you get better soon! -
For this game, I'm strictly RTTS, and I enjoy making new players, coming up with their characters, and developing them to become some of the best in the sport. I prefer simple, straightforward game mechanics (no interest in having to play some mini-game every time I have to throw to first) and adjusting difficulty levels to whatever I'm feeling in the moment (sometimes I want a challenge, sometimes i just wanna pwn the other team). Sometimes I'll even imagine my various players know each other and create little dialogues for them about various things, because I come from an RPG background and that's how my brain works.

Competitive online play. Hardcore baseball fan, so The Show has always been my go to sports game. To me, it’s the only sports game with an actual skill gap. Madden, FIFA, NHL, 2K, you can buy yourself wins. MLB you can take someone who is above average and give them a 99 God squad and put them up against YFK, OhChev, Mangoes, etc with an all silver team and the more talented player wins 95% of the time
