Structure Gaming: Since the earliest days of gaming, there have been sports games. But not all franchises have met the standard set by us the consumers. For example, 2K Games has yet to make a solid baseball game. But one franchise has stood out since 1993. This franchise has continuously evolved and every August, becomes the new standard.
