The D.I.C.E. Award for Sports Game of the Year is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. This award recognizes games that "offer the user the opportunity to virtually reproduce a sporting experience: either a realistic portrayal of an actual sport or games that reproduce for the user experience of participating in an existing competitive sport".[1] All active creative/technical, business, and affiliate members of the Academy are qualified to vote for this category.[2] The award initially had separate awards for console games and computer games at the 1st Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in 1998, with the first winners being International Superstar Soccer 64 for console and FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 for computer. There have been numerous mergers and additions of sports-related games during the early years of the annual awards ceremony. The current version was established in 2006, with its winner being SSX on Tour.

The award's most recent winner is MLB The Show 24, developed by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

History

Initially the Interactive Achievement Awards had separate awards for Console Sports Game of the Year and Computer Sports Game of the Year. In 2004, there were separate console categories for Action Sports and Sports Simulation.[3][4] In 2006, all sports categories would be merged together as part of a single Sports Game of the Year, which has been used ever since.[5]

  • Console Sports Game of the Year (1998—2003)
  • Computer Sports Game of the Year (1998—2005)
  • Console Action Sports Game of the Year (2004—2005)
  • Console Sports Simulation Game of the Year (2004—2005)
  • Sports Game of the Year (2006—present)

There was a tie between FIFA 2001 and Motocross Madness 2 for PC Sports Game of the Year at the 2001 Awards.[6][7]
