Top 10: Sports Video Games Of All Time (AskMen)

[videlsports]

[quote=tinpanalley;2040351344]We often forget that BEST of all time is first of all subjective. Secondly, it shouldn't mean "favorite" of all time. or even "most fun" of all time. Best should mean, I would think, in terms of design, mechanics, audio/video, gameplay, control, the come-back factor (as in does it keep you coming back) should all be considered. Also there needs to be some historical relevance. People under the age of 25 may think Jordan Vs Bird sucks, but it was a pivotal game in that it was one of the first times real life intersected with sports gaming ina way that we're very familiar with now. Playing HORSE with Bird and Jordan was pretty revolutionary at the time. Just the skin tones, the numbers on the correct colored jerseys and the fact that Bird couldn't dunk was enough for all of us to think it was the most realistic thing ever.

LOL I remember that.. it was a good game Also Jordan could not shoot as well as bird I would beat my Brother with Bird because he loved Jordan!!!

maybe it should have been best for their time, idk it is off. nfl 2k5 should have been on there instead of 2k1. And maybe madden 04 should of been on there over 2005 but idk. I'm just glad they had a variety because SSX is one of the funnest games I've ever played

[bh446066]

Gotta chime in with my list. I thought their list was pretty eclectic, but at the price of ommitting some really great titles. Of course, my list is biased b/c these are the games I had the most fun playing at the time I was playing:

1) NHL 98
2) Tecmo Super Bowl
3) College Hoops 2K8
4) Mike Tyson's Punch Out
5) Madden 2002/3
6) RBI Baseball
7) MLB 08 The Show
8) NCAA Football 2004/5/6
9) NHL Hitz Pro
10) FIFA 98

Honorable Mention: NHL 94, High Heat 2004

A top ten all time Sports video game list that doesn't include Tecmo Super Bowl= epic failure in my opinion.

[mrs844224]

NFL Head Coach 2009 gets no respect. It should have been on the list, even with its flaws.
