Best sports game ever

[grimace]

Tecmo Superbowl on NES stands out.

NFL2k on Dreamcast was a major achievement.

Let's decide once and for all what the best and worst sports games are.

Now I hate sport games and laugh at crowd that rejects every previous FIFA installment because of different team roster but back in the day I liked FIFA 98, World Cup 98 and FIFA 99 and that's all about 'realistic' games.

And now things that are fun:

Tiny Toon Adventures: Acme All-Stars
NBA Jam / NHL Open Ice
Savage Arena
Brutal Sports Football
Goal 3
Empire Soccer '94
Mario Tennis (GBC)

NFL2k5 was the best in the series. Likely best NFL game ever.

NCAA football 2005 was also phenomenal. It built upon the 2004 version, which was revolutionary.

techmo Superbowl was shit grimace. wtf.

I had a few more thoughts on these:

Virtua Tennis for the Dreamcast
UFC for the Dreamcast.

the former is just a great arcade tennis experience, while the latter has a great balance between striking and grappling. something later titles lacked.

WWE Smackdown series on the PS2
RAW wrestling (IIRC) on the N64. Had so many hours of fun with friends on this title. Especially creating wrestlers not in the game like Chris Benoit (rip) as well as getting hyped for Wrestlemania.

these were ok. didnt come close to the 90s titles with real teams.

Think about this:

-Quarterback club
-Various Maddens
-Joe Montana football
-NFL blitz

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe

those late 90 titles were ace. winning eleven series on the ps1 was a better sim than fifa IIRC.

funny enough, my most favorite soccer games were from the NES and arcades.

Super Sidekicks 2 was especially fun.

what's even the point of playing a sports game if you can't throw dynamite into the field tho? nba jam was aces too, tons of great arcade memories playing that one. also there was this one for nes:

I'm undecided. Either Championship Manager 00/01 or Championship Manager 01/02 for me. Spent endless hours on both games. Wait, that was a little lie, scratch "spent". I still regularly play them like 5 hours a week.

The latest Madden.

This thread has just encouraged me to dig out Speedball 2 for a quick blast.

Loved it. Forgot how good a game it actually is.

California games was so good. Nintendo World Cup and NBA Jam also stand out.
