Be a good sport

The best PS4 sports games are about as different as sports themselves, with some like eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 focusing on hyperrealism and strategic team building while others like Rocket League are about bringing the joy of competition to your living room with a more whimsical touch. But hopefully, this list will cover all the bases, including the best way to run the bases.

Many of these games like NBA 2K20 include microtransactions, so consider not just the list price but how much money you're interested in putting into the game while you're playing. Casual players shouldn't have to spend anything but time putting together a working and fun team. Still, these games can get really competitive as the line between esports and physical sports continues to blur through big league deals and tournaments.

If you're worried about restraint, stick with something like FutureGrind where you're just pushing yourself to the limits.
