The nominees are:
FIFA Soccer 12
Fight Night Champion
MLB 11: The Show
NBA 2K12
NHL 12
And The Winner Is…
FIFA Soccer 12
FIFA Soccer 12 is a sports masterpiece. There are more ways to play the biggest sport in the world than ever before. The matches themselves are fast-paced and intense, replicating the real thing to a T. Player movement and behavior is more lifelike than any other sports game available. Everything about FIFA 12 mirrors the sport it represents at a level other games just cannot touch.

WWE 12 beat out WWE All Stars? Absolute hogwash.
Yeah, we loved All-Stars, and some consider it more fitting for the “fighting” genre, but WWE 12 did a great job at pushing the sim side of pro wrestling, and felt deserving of the nomination.
It was a question whether or not to include a wrestling game here at all, actually.
