Haven't really been paying much attention to racing games. Every single time people ask that question, most would prefer Need for Speed games from the late 2000s rather than games today. But for me it hasn't really changed that much since the 90s. You start at the bottom, race against the AI and win enough to upgrade your car, while unlocking new maps to compete on. There's never anything new in these games aside from their obsession with realism and graphics upgrades.

Probably pick racing games any day. I really like those kind of games ever since when I was a kid. Most games I often play before were the Need For Speed series. Played like all of them I think on desktop computer that is, haven't tried playing them on console. Although I use a controller on my PC. :) The best NFS edition I love is the Most Wanted one.
I too like racing games. All of these racing games, I like need for speed first.The experience was great like racing myself in the game.It is enjoyable both on PC and on Play Station.

I do play real life soccer just as a form of exercise with friends, not as a hobby.Though soccer is the most popular sporting activities among others in my country. The same thing goes for the game as well, I only play it once in a while, I don't kinda have much interest for it. If the two are the only options for me I will rather go for racing. And the only thing that makes me like it was this game called "Need For Speed" which we do play on Java phones then, before the arrival of smart phones.
I also like to play real life game not soccer but football. I play it with my friends in my colony whenever we have free time. Games are not much priority for me.I played a few time FIFA games. Basically if we have option between soccer and racing, I will go for racing games. It always attracts me. It gives thrill to play. Looks like mind is speeding up with the games. Need for speed is my favourite racing game. I like it very much.

Without thinking twice: racing games! :sunglasses:

I mean, I like soccer games, they are kinda nice... But racing games are better and more exciting! Plus, it's more challenging. :wink:

I have played some soccer games but it didn't have the desired effect on me, so I have changed my way and started to play racing and shooting games. Some racing games I play are Asphalt 8, Real Racing, and Asphalt Extreme ( with a monster truck). I like more racing games than the soccer ones!


Have you ever played Gran Turismo or GTA? They are very nice racing games! :smiley:

I love racing games but only if they're super arcadey. For instance, I don't like Forza at all but I adore F-Zero. I'll play Mario Kart all day long and I spent kind of a silly amount of time playing Beetle Adventure Racing back on the N64. I love high speed action and track that twist, turn, and roll as you speed down them at inhuman speeds.

I do not have that much interest when it comes to sports to be honest. I'm that type of person to play soccer games to not play it seriously and mess around by trying to injure other players, and that type of person to play racing games just to crash into others. If I were to be forced to pick between the two I guess I'll have to pick soccer games then.

Frankly, I prefer racing games. I used to play NFSW online, and I am good at that. In fact, I used to play racing games since I was a child. My first racing game was NFS2. Up to now, I am still playing racing games because I love cars. I like GTR, Gran Turismo and Need for Speed. I do not like playing soccer games because I always lose. I hate losing against my friends. Simply, I am not good at that. So, it is better for me to keep playing racing games because I feel good when I do that.

I do play both but I prefer car racing games actually. I have always been addicted to racing games and have played many different car racing games. I find those games to be more fun and exciting. I prefer the soundtracks and graphics of car racing games. Soccer games can get boring at times.

Yes, this is exactly what go with playing soccer or football games. I loose in every game I play. This is the reason I don't like these games. I also do not like loosing in any games and with friends it hurts. While racing games keep me hooked to it and I love it very much to the satisfaction that give me enough entertainment and thrill. Need for Speed series, GTA, are some good racing games that I play again and again to appease my gaming desire.

It is really a difficult choice for me as far as I'm someone that got a love for racing games as well as having a good feeling to playing the game of football in video games. That being said, I will narrowly take playing football games as a result of the flair that I've got for football games. FIFA games and Pes 2017 is the best football game that I really enjoy at the moment.

It's two different game types really so you can't really compare the two. But if I had to pick then I would probably pick the football game (as long as it's FIFA) rather than the racing game. I actually like playing racing games, especially Driveclub which I love because of how great the game looks and how fun it is to play, but it's not a game that you could play for hours on end. Whereas, with a football game, you could probably play for quite a bit without ever getting bored.

Obviously, if you are not familiar with type of this game then you are very hard to play it or can not complete the races.
Especially if you playing racing games on Smartphones then it is more difficult than playing on PCs.

soccer games does it for me always! Although racing games aren't bad too and I'm also a fan. But it's always soccer games first! No hard feelings *hahaa

I first started out with racing games especially car racing. I don't fancy bike racing because of how oddly the biker falls with any slight touch with any obstacles on the road. But with car, I even take pleasure in smashing through lots of things and even ramming other vehicles on the road.

Now, I'm more of a soccer gamer and I play both online and offline soccer games. Currently, I'm playing PES and FIFA games with one online football manager called Top Eleven Football Manager.

Like I said, it is definitely a difficult choice for me to make, but on a fair ground, I will be going for a soccer game for I am someone that enjoys watching football in real life. So, playing games that make me enjoy the feeling of being a manager is amazing to me. I enjoy car racing better when I play on a multi-player level.

Definitely soccer games, due to the variety of players and how there is always something you can do, be it playing online or managing a team or playing a career mode. Racing games feel repetitive to me after a while and is more dependent on the car that you are using rather than skill.

I have played both soccer and racing games during my childhood and I must confess that I enjoyed playing both games very well. But growing up and getting to adolescent ages, my preference shifted towards soccer games than racing games.

The reason for this is that racing games becomes kind of boring when you play it too long but when it comes to soccer games, especially when you are playing with a live opponent, you would never get bored at playing.

I love racing games way more than soccer mostly because I have never really played a legit soccer game before. Never tried FIFA or anything of that sort.

Firstly, you need to learn how to play soccer games because it's the most difficult part. I remember when my friends were still teaching me how to play PES, they used to beat me to crazy scoreline. I can remember one time when I was beaten 11-0, I felt so ashamed but with time, I mastered how to play and now I'm very good at it.

Soccer games for me are boring, Im more of a fan of contact sport games like WWE and EA's UFC series. I'll definitely choose Racing Games like Track Mania, Need for speed and Dirt.
