Best Sports Game you've ever played?

For me, it's Tecmo Super Bowl for the Sega Genesis by a mile. Amazing game, so fun to play.




The nostalgia is kicking in. I have to play this game again.

Baseball Stars-Nintendo

I'm with DVC on this one... Super Tecmo Bowl (on Nintendo).

My brother and I would play for hours. What was great about this game was that it was the first game that I had that truly kept track of season long statistics, which, for a numbers-hound like me, was a very entertaining facet to the game.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Actually, the original Tecmo Bowl for the NES was good.

My all time favorites though:

World Cup Soccer (NES)


RBI Baseball (NES)

DJ - I'm sure you must have seen this by now... Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

Mike Tyson\'s Punch-Out!!

Good Lord that was funny.

Past: Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Present: Fifa Soccer 06

IM really enjoying MLB 06: The Show this year. Most fun I have had with a sports game.

My top 10 of all time in somewhat of an order are

1. MLB 06 The Show
2. Madden 2003
3. NHL 2001
4. Backyard Baseball
5. World Series 96
6. NHL 2003
7. MVP 2005
8. Madden 04
9. Baseball Stars
10. Bases Loaded 3

I'd have to say Fifa World Cup 2006

Baseball Stars was the shit. Also Ken Griffy Baseball for Super Nintendo

World Series Baseball 1996 and Mike tyson's punch out.

I will never forget I was the Blue Jays in WSB 96, and I was 82-0 with Devon White and Joe Carter EACH having 105 hr's in 82 games, in the 83rd game I hit a homerun with Devon White and it said "1st homerun of the season" then I hit one with Carter and it said "1st homerun of the season" so I turned it off and never played it again

A lot of Punch Out fans on here. Count me as one...

Let's see if we all remember what each fighter's weaknesses were... I haven't played this game in years so I'm going off of memory. Let me start.

King Hippo - I remember that you punch him in the mouth, which stuns him, and you repeatedly jab him in the gut.

Glass Joe?

Bald Bull?

International Superstar Soccer 64...

Yes.. ISS, or PES...Pro Evolution Soccer 5, you can't have played 'em if you're into Fifa games!

But The Best is the original Ping game on that old Atari with the control stick n the red button. (you know the one when you have to hit the blocks behind the other blocks wot hits the ball block)

That is a masterpiece it just doesn't get better than that!

*Ping*

No. Pong.

Come to think of it DE NIRO has just bought a new game a manager game. I wonder if hell tell you about it?

Glass Joe: his weakness was punching him lol

Bald Bull: you boxed him until he did the "charging bull" then you hit him in the stomach and he was knocked out (though I think he got up)

Pro Evolution Soccer 5...or Winning Eleven 9 in the States, great game. this game is the closest you can get to the real thing on a video game. much better than fifa...believe me!

Winning Eleven by far. been playing this game for years and it only gets better. there is not a better game to play 'versus' against one of your friends.

if you like EA's Fifa games, get a doctor man!

nowadays, though, all I play is NCAA 06 MVP Baseball.

yeah...thats what im talking about...

Good Lord that was funny. [/b][/quote]yeah that was funny

poor Sox in those pre-2004 days...

Good Lord that was funny. [/b][/quote]yeah that was funny

poor Sox in those pre-2004 days... [/b][/quote]PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 5 y aint their no football games?

That's cool there are so many NES games listed on here, especially Mike Tyson's Punchout! I have to say that is the best sports game I have ever played as well... maybe even best all around game, or at least the most fun.

To the poster who was asking about each boxers weakness'... what was Mike Tyson's weakness? It took so long to get to him, and once I did I'd get whooped so quick lol. Still a fun game though!

Ninja Gaiden.

Oh, nvm... It's not a sports game. Still, it's the best NES game I've ever played!

Fifa World Cup 2006

It's been such a long time, I've forgotten. For some reason, I remember that you have to avoid a barrage of uppercuts to mount a counter-attack. Anybody else remember?

You remember what was said when you were just about to finish off your opponent? "Left Right Left Left Body Blow KNOCK HIM OUT!"

Bald Bull. Wasn't he the guy who used to Charge at you? Didn't you have to let him charge you and duck quickly just as he threw his punch and then come up with a counter uppercut and then just pounce him till he went down? The key was to let him charge you and then duck and counterpunch.

Glass Joe. I think that you had to repeatedly hit him low and then when he dropped his arms to cover his body, you just wailed on his Jaw a few times and he was gone.

I wish that they made that game for PSP or PS2. A great classic.

My current favorite is PSP's MLB Showdown.

The wife just bought me NHL '07, but I haven't played it yet.

EDIT : Sorry DMC, I saw your reply AFTER I made this post.

Nintendo's new next-generation console (due out Nov. 19th), the Wii, has the capability to play every single game ever made for the original 8-bit NES all the way to the Nintendo GameCube. Many of these titles will be available to download for a nominal fee through Nintendo's Wii Channels.

So pretty soon, you'll be able to play all of the old classics on the new console!

Wow! Then I would have to download one of my other favorite sports games of all time... Excitebike!

Yes, that is actually one of the games that is talked about with much anticipation...did you play the N64 version (Excitebike 64)? It was one of my favorite games as well.

In fact, one of the launch games for the Nintendo Wii is going to be the next title in the series, Excite Truck .

The game will be much more graphically polished upon release, but these screens should give you an idea:

A lot different from...

I actually didn't even know there was a N64 version, I'll have try and find that.

It was quite good, I'm not sure if it made the Player's Choice list but it was a great game.

Best Football Game I've Ever Played: ESPN NFL 2K5
Basketball: NBA 2K6
Baseball: MVP Baseball 2005

Worst;
Football: NCAA Football 2006
Basketball: NBA Live 06
Baseball: MLB 2K6

I don't play too much sports games, but my favourite is NFL Street 2

anyone else mega man soccer fans?

fight night round 3...love that shit

Football: Tecmo Super Bowl
Basketball: NBA 2K7

football i would have to say NCAA 07, basketball i would have to say NCAA 07 as well. i dont know i just like college sports games better than professionals. baseball i would have to say would be one of the older 2k ones, and hockey i'd say NHL 07 if they added in a damn turbo.

ESPN NFL 2K5, stupid f'n NFL limiting theirselves to 1 developer...

Top Spin came with my Xbox, I cannot stand to watch tennis or anything but playing this game isn't that bad.

I would agree that Temco Bowl and Punch Out were great games.

Madden and NCAA Football games take too long to load for me.

I agree

Triple Play 96' (Sega Genesis)
FIFA 07' (PS2 or XBOX, as long as it isn't XBOX 360)
NCAA Football 07'(PS2 or XBOX, as long as it isn't XBOX 360)
Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball (N64)

Fifa 1999 was good and 2003 then they just when down hill.

Pro evo 6 is the best sports game i've ever played. Pro evo 5 had the tackling problem and 4 was good but 6 was just perfect.

Mario Soccer for gamecube
